Troubleshooting
Straps digging in
Adjust the shoulder straps to a more comfortable, less tightened position. Ensure the bra band is at the correct level.
Band riding up
The band may be too loose or the bra size is incorrect. Check that the band is firm against the body and consider a smaller band size if necessary. Ensure the bra is fastened on the loosest hook initially to allow for stretching over time.
Cups feel too small or tight
This may indicate the cup size is too small. Try a larger cup size, ensuring the underwire sits flat against the ribcage and the cup fully encloses the breast.
Discomfort under the arms
Ensure the bra wings are sitting flat and not digging in. Check that the straps are not over-tightened. The bra might be too small in the band.
