FAQs

Does this bra have padding?

No, the Elomi Cate is a non-padded, underwired bra designed for a natural shape.

Is the material stretchy?

The bra is constructed from nylon, which offers a balance of durability and necessary support, but it is not intended to be overly stretchy.

Can I put this in the washing machine?

While hand washing is highly recommended to protect the underwires, if you must use a machine, always use a lingerie wash bag and a delicate cycle.

What is the primary benefit of the side support panel?

The side support panel is designed to push breast tissue forward and inward to prevent it from migrating toward the underarm.

Does the wire go all the way around the cup?

Yes, it is a traditional underwired bra, meaning the wire follows the entire perimeter of the cup for maximum support.

Is this bra suitable for all-day wear?

Yes, the three-section cup design is specifically engineered for all-day comfort and support.

Troubleshooting

Underwire digging into the skin

This often indicates the band size is too large or the cup size is too small; try a sister size or re-measure your band tightness.

Straps slipping off the shoulders

Adjust the strap length using the rear sliders; if the problem persists, check that the band is not riding up the back, which forces straps to lose tension.

Cup wrinkling or gaping

Ensure all breast tissue is scooped into the cup upon dressing; if gaping continues, you may require a smaller cup size.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent structural integrity for larger bust sizes
  • Fully adjustable straps for a custom fit
  • Natural silhouette without extra bulk
  • Side support panels minimize side spillage
  • Durable nylon construction for longevity

Cons

  • Non-padded cups do not add volume
  • Limited to specific band and cup sizing
  • Requires professional fitting for optimal performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Elomi Cate bra, follow these guidelines. Always verify your current bra size with a professional fitting, as band and cup sizes can change based on weight fluctuation or hormonal cycles. When putting the bra on, lean forward slightly to ensure all breast tissue is contained within the cup before fastening the hook-and-eye closure.

Care Instructions:

  1. Hand Wash Recommended: To protect the underwires and the elasticity of the nylon fabric, hand wash in cool water using a gentle lingerie detergent.
  2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can break down the fibers.
  3. Air Dry: Always lay the bra flat or hang it by the gore (center piece) to dry. Do not tumble dry, as the heat will warp the underwires and destroy the elastic recovery.
  4. Storage: Store the bras flat or nested in a drawer; do not fold the cups into one another as this can misshape the underwire structure.
