Troubleshooting
Bra feels uncomfortable or digs in.
Ensure the bra is the correct size. Adjust the straps and the hook-and-eye closure for a snug but not overly tight fit. Check that the underwire is positioned correctly around the breast tissue.
Straps are slipping.
Tighten the straps slightly using the adjusters. If slippage persists, the bra may be worn out or the straps may need replacement by a professional.
Minimiser effect not as expected.
Ensure the bra is fitted correctly, with all breast tissue contained within the cups. The minimiser effect is designed to reduce by up to one size; individual results may vary based on natural shape and size.
Material feels rough after washing.
Ensure you are following the hand-wash only and no-tumble-dry instructions precisely. Using harsh detergents or high heat can damage the fabric and lining.
