How should I wash this bra?

Troubleshooting
Bra feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the hook-and-eye closure to the loosest or tightest setting. If it's still not comfortable, consider if you need a different band or cup size.
Straps are digging into shoulders.
Loosen the adjustable straps. Ensure the band is sitting correctly on your ribcage, as this should carry most of the support.
Underwire is uncomfortable or poking.
Ensure the bra is the correct size and style for your body. Check that the underwire is seated correctly in its channel. If discomfort persists, the bra may not be the right fit for you.
Bra does not provide enough support.
Check that the band is snug and level. Ensure the cups are fully encompassing the breast tissue. The underwire should sit flat against the ribcage.
