FAQs
What makes this bra suitable for fuller busts?
The Berlei Embrace Side Support Bra features specific side support panels and an underwired construction designed to provide enhanced lift, shape, and containment for larger cup sizes.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, this bra requires hand washing only. Machine washing, especially with heat, can damage the delicate materials and structural components like straps and rings.
Is this bra padded?
The Berlei Embrace Collection Underwired Non Padded Side Support Bra does not feature padding, offering a natural shape and feel.
What does 'side support' mean in a bra?
Side support refers to built-in panels or design features that help to draw the breast tissue towards the center, providing a smoother profile and preventing outward bulging.
How often should I replace my bra?
Bras typically last between 6-12 months with regular wear and proper care. Signs that it's time for a replacement include loss of elasticity, underwire issues, or a visible decrease in support.
What materials is this bra made of?
The bra is constructed from a blend of 70% Polyamide, 17% Polyester, and 13% Elastane, exclusive of trims, providing a balance of comfort, durability, and stretch.
Can I wear this bra for exercise?
While this bra offers good everyday support, it is primarily designed for daily wear. For high-impact activities, a dedicated sports bra offering higher levels of support and moisture-wicking is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Bra straps digging in
Ensure the bra is the correct size and not over-tightened. Adjust the straps to a comfortable position. If the issue persists, the bra may be too small in the band.
Underwire poking out
This can happen with wear and tear. Inspect the fabric casing around the underwire. If it's significantly frayed or torn, it may be time to replace the bra.
Lack of support
Verify that the correct band and cup size have been chosen. The band should sit snugly on the ribcage. Ensure all closures are fastened correctly.
Discomfort after washing
Ensure the bra has been washed according to the 'Hand wash only' and 'Do not tumble dry' instructions. Improper washing can damage the fabric and structure, leading to discomfort.
