FAQs

What does 'Full Cup' mean in a bra?

A 'Full Cup' bra is designed to cover the entire breast, offering maximum support and coverage. It typically holds the breasts from the bottom and sides, aiming to minimize outward projection.

What is the difference between a padded and non-padded bra?

A padded bra has built-in foam or padding to add shape, volume, or modesty. A non-padded bra, like this one, does not have any added padding, offering a more natural look and feel.

Why is a non-underwired bra recommended?

Non-underwired bras (also known as wireless bras) provide support without the constricting metal or plastic underwires. They are often chosen for comfort, especially for lounging, sleeping, or for individuals who find underwires uncomfortable.

What is the primary benefit of the polyamide and elastane blend?

This blend offers a good balance of durability and flexibility. Polyamide provides strength and a smooth finish, while elastane (spandex/Lycra) adds stretch, allowing the bra to move with your body and retain its shape.

How should I care for my Playtex Full Cup Bra to ensure it lasts?

Hand wash with a mild detergent in cool water and lay flat to dry. Avoid machine washing on high heat, tumble drying, or using bleach, as these can degrade the fabric and elastic over time.

Can this bra be worn under tight-fitting clothing?

Yes, the non-padded design aims for a natural silhouette, which can work well under many types of clothing. However, very thin or tight-fitting garments might reveal the bra's seams more than a seamless or padded style.

Troubleshooting

Bra feels too tight or too loose

Ensure you have selected the correct band and cup size. Refer to the brand's sizing chart. If the band is too tight, try extending the hooks; if too loose, consider a smaller band size or ensure all hooks are fastened correctly.

Straps dig into shoulders

Adjust the bra straps to a comfortable, secure fit. If the straps continue to dig in, the band size might be too large, causing the straps to bear too much weight. Check if the cup is the correct size; if it's too small, breast tissue may spill over, pulling the straps tighter.

Fabric feels uncomfortable or irritating

Ensure the bra has been washed according to care instructions before first wear. If irritation persists, check for any stray threads or rough seams. Consider if the fabric blend is suitable for your skin sensitivity.

Compatibility: This bra is designed for adult women and is compatible with most types of clothing, offering a smooth profile under various outfits.

Care Instructions: To maintain the bra's shape and fabric integrity:

  • Washing: Refer to the care label on the product for specific instructions. Generally, hand washing with a mild detergent is recommended for longevity. If machine washing, use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mesh laundry bag.
  • Drying: Avoid tumble drying. Instead, gently reshape the bra and lay it flat or hang it to air dry.
  • Materials: The bra is made of 85% polyamide and 15% elastane. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach, as they can damage the fabric.
