What is the best way to wash this bra?
It is essential to hand wash the bra in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid wringing or twisting. Do not put it in the tumble dryer.
Can I wear this bra for sports?
This bra is designed for everyday wear and general support. For high-impact sports, a dedicated sports bra is recommended.
What does 'minimiser bra' mean?
A minimiser bra is designed to reduce the apparent size of the bust, typically by spreading the breast tissue outwards and upwards, creating a smoother, less projected silhouette.

The main fabric composition is 62% Polyamide, 20% Elastane, and 18% Polyester (exclusive of trims).
What sizes are available?

Troubleshooting
Bra feels uncomfortable or digs in
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Adjust the straps and band for a comfortable, secure fit. Check that the underwire is sitting correctly against your body.
Straps are slipping
Adjust the strap length. If the issue persists, the bra may be too large in the band or the straps may need to be replaced over time.
Undergarment shows through thin clothing
While designed for smoothness, ensure the bra color is complementary to your outfit or consider wearing with thicker fabrics.
Bra loses shape or elasticity after washing
Adhere strictly to the hand wash only and do not tumble dry instructions. Avoid harsh detergents and always dry flat.
