Product Information
Full details
The Playtex 24h Soft Absolute Bra is designed for adults seeking reliable support and comfort for extended daily wear. Featuring a structured full-cup design with integrated padding and classic underwire, this bra provides consistent shaping and stability; however, users should ensure they are familiar with their current band and cup measurements, as the rigid underwire construction requires a precise fit to prevent discomfort.

FAQs
Can I put this bra in the dryer?
No, machine drying is not recommended as it will break down the elasticity of the fabric and can cause the underwire to lose its shape.
Is this bra suitable for high-impact exercise?
This model is intended for daily use and moderate activity, not high-impact exercise; a dedicated sports bra is recommended for vigorous workouts.
What is the best way to store the bra?
Store your bra flat or nested inside another cup to prevent the underwire from getting twisted or the padding from becoming misshapen.
How often should I replace my underwire bra?
Generally, with regular wear and proper care, it is recommended to evaluate the fit and support of your bra every 6 to 12 months.
What if the 42C size does not fit correctly?
Fit is critical for underwire bras. If you find gaps in the cup or the band feels tight, you may need to adjust your measurement based on your current body composition.
Troubleshooting
Underwire is poking or digging into the ribcage
This often indicates the band size is too small or the wire has become bent; check for wire distortion and ensure the band is sitting parallel to the floor.
Straps slipping off the shoulders
Ensure the straps are adjusted to the correct tension; if slipping persists, your band size might be too large, causing the bra to ride up the back.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Playtex 24h Soft Absolute Bra, always hook the bra at the loosest setting when new to account for natural fabric relaxation over time. Because this garment contains underwire, it is highly recommended to hand wash in cool water with a gentle detergent to prevent the wires from warping or snapping. If machine washing is necessary, place the bra inside a dedicated mesh laundry bag and use a delicate cycle, but avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the elastic and the padding structure. Always air dry flat or hung by the center gore to maintain cup integrity.
