FAQ'S

1. How should a bra fit?

A well fitted bra should sit comfortably around your body, not digging in or causing discomfort. The band should be snug and level all the way around, the cups should fully enclose your breasts without any spillage or gaps, and the straps should sit comfortably on your shoulders without digging in or slipping off.

2. What are signs of a poorly fitting bra?

Signs include the band riding up your back, cups overflowing or gaping, underwires poking or sitting on breast tissue, straps digging into your shoulders or slipping off, and discomfort throughout the day.

3. How often should I replace my bras?

It varies, but generally, bras should be replaced every 6-12 months depending on wear and care. You should also get a fitting if you've lost or gained weight. Signs that you need a new bra include stretched out bands, misshapen cups, or lack of support.

4. Why do my bra straps keep falling down?

This could be due to several reasons, including the straps being too loose, the bra being too big, or the straps being placed too wide for your shoulders. Adjusting the straps or choosing a different style of bra might help.

5. How do I stop my bra from riding up?

A band that rides up is usually too loose. You might need a smaller band size or to tighten the band. Ensure you're wearing the bra on the loosest hook when its new, so that you can tighten it as it stretches out.

6. What is the purpose of underwire in a bra?

Underwire provides support and shape to the breasts. It helps lift and seperate the breast, offering a more defined silhouette. However, comfort is key, and not everyone prefers or needs underwire.

7. How can I tell if my bra's underwire fits properly?

The underwire should sit flat against your ribcage, encircling your breast without poking or pressing into the breast tissue. It should extend from your armpit around your sternum.

8. Is it normal for my bra size to change?

Yes, it's completely normal for your bra size to change due to factors such as weight fluctuations, hormonal chnages, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and age. It's good practice to get regular fittings to ensure you are wearing the right size.

9. Can wearing the wrong size bra affect my posture?

Yes, wearing the wrong bra size can cause discomfort and may affect posture. Ensuring a proper fit is essential for comfort and support.

10. How to prolong the life of my bras?

Hand wash them with gentle detergent and lay them flat to dry. You can also wash in your washing machine on the gentle cycle in a lingerie mesh bag. Avoid wringing them out or machine drying them.
