Troubleshooting
Bra feels too tight or loose
Adjust the hook-and-eye closures and the shoulder straps. Ensure you are wearing the correct band and cup size; refer to sizing guides if unsure.
Underwire is uncomfortable or digging in
Check that the underwire is sitting correctly in the cup channel and not twisted. Ensure the bra is the correct size; a band that is too tight can cause the underwire to dig.
Straps are slipping
Tighten the adjustable straps. If slipping persists, ensure the bra band is sitting correctly and not too low on your back.
Embroidery is irritating the skin
Ensure the bra is washed according to care instructions to soften the fabric. If irritation continues, the bra may not be suitable for your skin sensitivity.
