Troubleshooting
Straps digging in
Adjust the straps to a looser setting, ensuring they are not too tight. Check that the bra band is sitting correctly at the back.
Underwire discomfort
Ensure the correct size is being worn. If discomfort persists, the underwire may be faulty or the bra may need replacing.
Bra not providing enough support
Check strap adjustments and ensure the band is fastened securely. The bra may be old and the elastic has lost its stretch, or it may be the incorrect size.
Fabric pilling after washing
This can sometimes occur with delicate fabrics. Ensure hand washing is done gently and avoid harsh detergents or excessive rubbing.
