Troubleshooting
Straps digging into shoulders
Adjust the straps to a comfortable length. Ensure the bra band is sitting correctly on your ribcage; a slipping band can cause straps to bear too much weight.
Underwire poking or feeling uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing the correct size. The underwire should cup the breast tissue smoothly. If discomfort persists, this style may not be the best fit for your shape.
Bra band riding up
The band may be too loose. Check if you need a smaller band size. The band should sit parallel to the floor and feel snug.
Lack of support
Verify that the cup size is correct and that the underwire is properly positioned around the breast tissue. Ensure straps and band are adjusted correctly.
