FAQs
How do I know if I have the right size?
Your band should fit snugly but comfortably on the loosest hook when new. The cups should fully enclose your breast tissue without gapping or spilling over. You should be able to slide two fingers comfortably under the straps and the band.
What does 'contour bra' mean?
A contour bra features built-in padding or a moulded cup that shapes and supports the breast, creating a smooth, rounded silhouette without adding significant volume. The Wacoal Embrace Lace Contour Bra has seam-free moulded cups for a smooth finish.
Can I wear this bra for exercise?
This bra is designed for everyday wear and light support. It is not recommended for high-impact activities, as it may not provide sufficient support to prevent discomfort or strain.
How often should I hand-wash this bra?
For optimal longevity and hygiene, it is recommended to hand-wash the bra after every 1-2 wears. Frequent washing with appropriate detergent helps maintain the fabric's integrity and elasticity.
What is the difference between this and a padded bra?
While both have shaped cups, contour bras have a moulded cup that follows the natural shape of the breast, often with light padding for smoothing. Padded bras typically have more distinct padding added to the cup, which can increase size or shape.
Can I machine wash this bra on a delicate cycle?
No, the manufacturer recommends hand-washing only. Machine washing, even on a delicate cycle, can be too harsh for the lace and moulded cups, potentially leading to damage or loss of shape.
What kind of detergent should I use?
Use a mild detergent specifically formulated for delicates. Avoid detergents containing harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the bra's materials.
Troubleshooting
Bra straps digging in
Adjust the strap length to be looser. Ensure the bra band is fitted correctly, as a band that is too loose will cause straps to carry too much weight.
Underwire poking or discomfort
Ensure you are wearing the correct band and cup size. A band that is too tight or a cup that is too small/large can cause underwire issues.
Visible lines under clothing
Confirm that the moulded cups are sitting flat against the body and that the bra fits correctly. Ensure no seams from the bra itself are showing through very thin or clingy fabrics.
Lace feels scratchy
Hand-wash the bra before the first wear to soften the lace. If discomfort persists, it may indicate a sensitivity to the lace material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Ensure the straps are set to a comfortable length that provides support without digging in, and the band is fastened securely on the loosest hook initially, allowing for adjustment as needed.
Compatibility:

Care:
- Hand-wash only: Use cold water and a mild detergent specifically designed for delicates.
- Do not bleach: Bleaching can damage the fabric and elastic.
- Do not tumble dry: Lay flat or hang to dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Do not iron: Ironing can damage the materials and structure.
- Rinse thoroughly: Ensure all soap is removed after washing.
