Troubleshooting
Bra doesn't feel supportive
Ensure the bra is the correct size and that the band is fastened on the loosest hook initially. Check that the underwires are sitting correctly against the body.
Straps digging in
Adjust the shoulder straps to a comfortable length. If discomfort persists, the bra may be too small in the cup or band, or it might be time to consider a replacement.
Underwire poking out
This can occur with wear and tear. Gently try to reposition the underwire. If the fabric casing is torn, the bra may need to be replaced as it compromises support and comfort.
Band riding up
The band may be too loose. Try fastening it on a tighter hook setting. If it's already on the tightest setting, the band may have lost elasticity and needs replacement.
