It means the straps have sliders that allow you to lengthen or shorten them for a customized fit that is most comfortable for you.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging in
Adjust the straps to a looser setting. Ensure the bra band is sitting correctly on your ribcage, as an incorrect band size can cause straps to bear too much weight.
Bra feels unsupportive
Check that the band is secure and the cups are fitting correctly without gaping or overflowing. Ensure the underwire is sitting flat against the body.
Underwire poking through fabric
This usually indicates wear and tear. Gently try to tuck the wire back in, but if the fabric is significantly damaged, the bra may need replacement.
Embroidery feels scratchy
This is uncommon due to the 'super flat' design. Try washing the bra according to care instructions. If irritation persists, consider an alternative style.
