FAQs
Can I put this bra in the washing machine?
It is highly recommended to hand wash this bra to protect the underwires and the molded cup shape.
What is the purpose of the J-hook?
The J-hook allows you to pull the shoulder straps together into a racerback configuration, providing added stability and support.
Is the fabric suitable for hot weather?
Yes, the cups feature perforated, breathable material designed to facilitate airflow and keep you cool.
Why does the wire have silicone padding?
The silicone padding acts as a protective barrier to ensure the underwire remains comfortable against your skin throughout your workout.
Should I size up for this sports bra?
It is best to stick to your standard band and cup size, but ensure you are measured accurately as sports bras are designed for a firmer fit.
Troubleshooting
Underwire is digging into the ribcage
Ensure the bra band is not too tight and the cups are the correct size; if the cup is too small, the wire may be pushed out of place.
Straps slipping off the shoulders
Tighten the adjustable straps or utilize the J-hook to convert the bra into a racerback style for a more secure fit.
Visible bounce during high-impact movement
Verify that the hook-and-eye closure is on the tightest comfortable setting and use the J-hook to increase overall support.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure the underwire sits flat against your ribcage without sitting on top of any breast tissue. Adjust the padded straps to be snug but not restrictive; you should only be able to fit two fingers underneath the strap. If you choose to use the J-hook racerback option, adjust the strap length before hooking them together, as this will naturally pull the straps tighter. To maintain the integrity of the breathable materials and the silicone-lined wires, always hand wash the bra in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the technical properties of the fabric. Lay the bra flat to dry, and avoid wringing or twisting the cups to ensure they retain their molded shape.
