Product Information
Full details
The Playtex 24h Soft Absolute Bra is designed for adult women seeking reliable, all-day support and comfort in a daily undergarment. Featuring pre-shaped cups, structural underwires, and soft-lined side panels, it provides comprehensive coverage that stabilizes the bust throughout the day. While it offers excellent support for everyday activities, users should note that the classic underwire construction is a fixed design element that may not suit those looking for wire-free alternatives.

FAQs
Can I put this bra in the dryer?
No. The heat from a tumble dryer can damage the elastic, shape the cups incorrectly, and snap the underwire casing.
What is the best way to store my Playtex bras?
Store them flat or nested, one inside the other. Avoid folding the cups into each other, as this can permanently distort the pre-shaped structure.
How do I know if the size 36B is right for me?
A 36B fits a 36-inch ribcage measurement with a bust measurement that indicates a B-cup depth. If the center gore (the piece between the cups) does not lay flat against your chest, the size is likely incorrect.
Is this bra suitable for high-impact activities?
While this bra provides excellent daily support, it is not designed as a sports bra and may not offer the compression or stabilization needed for high-impact exercise.
Does the polyester material breathe well?
Polyester is chosen for its durability and shape retention. While effective for daily wear, those who live in extremely hot climates may find natural fibers more breathable.
Troubleshooting
Underwire is digging into the ribcage
The band may be too small or the cup too shallow. Try a sister size with a larger band or a larger cup to see if the wire sits properly against the chest wall.
Straps are slipping off the shoulders
Adjust the strap length to be shorter. If slipping persists, ensure the band is not too loose, as a loose band shifts the weight of the bra onto the straps.
Cups are bulging at the top
This typically indicates the cup size is too small. Try moving up one cup size (e.g., from a B to a C) while keeping the same band size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Playtex 24h Soft Absolute Bra remains in peak condition, follow these steps:
- Finding Your Fit: Ensure you measure both your band size (in inches) and your cup size accurately before purchase, as underwire bras depend on a snug band fit for support.
- Initial Setup: On first wear, use the middle or loosest hook setting. This allows you to tighten the band to the last hook as the fabric naturally stretches over time.
- Care Instructions: Hand washing is strongly recommended to preserve the shape of the cups and the integrity of the underwires. If you must use a washing machine, always place the bra in a mesh garment bag and use a delicate cycle with cold water.
- Drying: Always air dry the bra by laying it flat or hanging it by the center gore. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as the heat can break down the elastic components and damage the structure of the cups.
