-
Which bra sizes do you carry?Our bras are made to the UK industry size standards. We carry the sizes in the table below.
-
How do I convert my cup size into UK sizes?Please refer to the table below for international size conversions.
-
How do I convert my band size into UK sizes?Please refer to the table below for international size conversions.
-
How can I prevent my bra from feeling loose after each wear and wash?Each time you wash and wear your bra you should adjust your shoulder straps so that you feel comfortable and supported.
-
How do I know when to replace my bra?On average you should replace it every 6 – 9 months (or every 130 wears). But if there are tell-tale signs such as the underwire poking out, if the band is no longer snug, or if there is visible damage to the bra, then you should think about replacing it.
-
How do I care for my underwired bra?Handwashing it is the most recommended option. For stability and long-lasting use of your underwired bras, it is highly recommended to wash it after every 2 to 3 wears. Just soak it in the water with some mild washing detergent like SOAK Wash (without fabric softener) for about 5 to 10 minutes. Slightly rub it with your hands and hang it for drying.
-
How do I protect the underwire?There’s no need for wringing underwire bra, and no need for excess heat, tumble drying, dry cleaning, and ironing.
-
How can I protect my underwired bra if I’m using the washing machine?To preserve your underwired bra avoid machine washing as much as possible. However, if you must, use a lingerie washbag and wash on a gentle cycle on a cold temperature. Do not spin or tumble dry.
-
Why does my bra make me look double-breasted?The cup is too small; all breast tissue should be held within the cups
-
Why does the band pinch my skin?The band is too tight. It should be firm but not uncomfortable.
-
Why does the band move when I lift my arms?If the under-band is riding up, then the back size too big. You need a smaller under band but you must increase the cup size. If the bra rides up at the back, the breasts tip forward and down. Loosen the straps so that it fits snuggly and it should not move. If the band lifts when you raise your arms, then a smaller band is required.
-
How can I tell if a bra works for my large size breasts? How do I know if it fits right?Always try on different brands of bras for comfort and fit as they vary in size and shape. The gore of the bra tells you exactly about your perfect fit. The gore is the piece that rests in the centre of the two cups. If it falls flat right in the mid of your chest, that means you are wearing the right fit. If the gore does not sit in the centre accurately, you are very likely to be in the wrong piece. The under band should be snug (about 2 finger width near your spine) and be comfortable. It should not ride up your back and your breast tissue should be full enclosed within the cup.
-
Which style bra works best for large breasts?Full cup bras are the best style women with a large heavy bust. This is because they’re designed to give the most support and coverage.
-
Why does the wire dig in?If the wire digs in under the arm or the bust is bulging over the cups, a larger cup size is needed. The breasts should be totally encased within the wire, which should sit flat against the body. Wires should sit close to the chest and the bra should stay in place when your arms are lifted.
-
I know my right size but a full cup bra is too big!The full cup bra is the wrong style of bra; try a balconette bra shape instead.
-
I have one breast larger than the other and can’t find a suitable bra.Very few people have symmetrical breasts. Try a stretch lace bra, as this will stretch to fit to the breast or alternatively look for a bra that has removable pads and remove them accordingly, or add a breast pad under the cup that holds the smaller bust.
-
What is the perfect band width for a new bra?A new bra would be one that you feel comfortably snug with the loosest hook & eye on. Bras stretch overtime with normal wearing and tearing. Gradually you need to move your hook & eye inward to adjust the band.
-
How can I prevent my bra from feeling lose after each wear and wash?Each time you wear your bra you should adjust your shoulder straps so that you feel comfortable and supported.
-
Why are my bra’s bands are always riding up and the straps are always slipping down?You happen to have bigger bands and smaller cups. The band rides up only when its bigger in size. Opt for bras with smaller bands and bigger cups. For example, if 40J is what you have been wearing, get it replaced with 38HH or 38H Enter your answer here
-
How do I use the lingerie fashion tape correctly?The lingerie tape is double-sided with a perforation down the centre. It acts like Sellotape. Peel one side and stick onto your skin, then peel the other side and stick your top onto the tape. Hold for a few seconds. Do not use any moisturiser on your breasts. It can be used for gaping shirt buttons. But be careful with embellishments or delicate fabrics like silk. Remove the tape before washing.
-
What can I use to stop my straps digging into my shoulders?Use a silicone shoulder cushion for comfort from painful bra straps. Simply slide your bra straps into the specially designed Bra Strap Cushion channels for instant pain relief, elimination of deep shoulder grooves and prevention of bra strap slippage.
-
My bra band has become a bit tight, what can I do?"Try a detachable and reusable Bra Extender. It can extend bra band width by up to 5cm (almost 2 inches) Simply attach to the hooks at the back of bras to extend band length.
-
How can I protect my lingerie if I’m using the washing machine?Use a lingerie washbag and a gentle fabric detergent. It is suitable for delicate or small items that you can wash in the machine. The double layer close weave mesh bag helps protect bras and other delicate garments from being tangled or damaged in the washing machine.
-
Can you recommend a gentle detergent to wash my bra?Try SOAK’s eco-friendly formulation. it’s the no-rinse clean you trust and love. Soak is perfect for your lingerie, softest sweaters, baby clothes, quilts, swimwear, workout wear and all the laundry you love. Just Soak and squeeze. No need to rinse.
-
How do I prevent irritation from boob sweat?Try the Bamboo Bra Liner which is designed to keep sensitive skin dry and protected from the bra underwire rubbing under the breasts that cause irritation and sweat rash. It solves the breast sweat problem, reduces bacteria and their odours.
