Hand Wash When Possible

Bras are delicate; hand wash them using a gentle detergent.

If you must machine wash, use a mesh bag and choose a delicate cycle.

Lay flat to dry, do not put in the dryer.

Mind the Cups

Your breasts should fit comfortably within the bra cups.

If there's spillage over the top (Double Boob) or sides, you may need a bigger cup size.

If there's wrinkling or gaping, consider going down a size.

If it's too tight, you might notice

Professional Fitting

Even if you think you know your size,getting professionally fitted can be eye-opening.

Not every bra fits the same, a size in one brand might fit differently in another.

A correctly fitting bra can make clothing fit better, leading to a more flattering silhouette and increased confidence.

Professional fittings don't just determine your size; they also identify the styles and shapes of bras that suit your breast shape.
