Troubleshooting
Straps digging into shoulders
Ensure the bra is the correct size and the straps are adjusted properly. If the issue persists, the padding may be insufficient for your needs, or the bra band might be too loose.
Bra band riding up
The band may be too loose. Try a smaller band size or ensure the bra is fastened on the tightest hooks to start.
Minimizing effect is too much
This bra is specifically designed for minimization. If a fuller bust appearance is desired, consider a different bra style, such as a push-up or padded bra.
Fabric pilling after washing
Ensure the bra is being hand washed gently in cool water with mild detergent, and avoid any abrasive actions or harsh chemicals.
