Full details
The Berlei Embrace Side Support Bra is designed for adult women seeking everyday smooth support with a luxurious feel, especially those with fuller busts and larger back sizes.

Troubleshooting
Bra straps digging in
Adjust the straps to a looser setting. Ensure the bra band is sitting correctly at the back, as a loose band can cause straps to bear too much weight.
Underwire is uncomfortable
Ensure the bra is the correct size and that the underwire is sitting flat against the rib cage, not on the breast tissue. If discomfort persists, the underwire style may not be suitable for your body shape.
Fabric pilling after washing
Always follow hand wash instructions carefully. Avoid harsh detergents or wringing the fabric, which can damage the fibers.
Reduced support over time
Bras have a lifespan. If support has diminished significantly, it may be time to replace the bra, especially if it is frequently worn and washed.
