First things first, BOOK A BRA FITTING with us! The world of intimate apparel always requires a guide and a keen understanding your body. Receiving accurate measurements from a trained professional is where we come in to finding the right bra for you.

• How do I know which bra is right for me? That’s a good question. We tested our styles on 3,000+ women. Holy smokes Batman! That’s right! The bra styles we selected are based on what flatters various breast shapes. Hence, why many styles may not include all band sizes. We only carry select styles that achieve maximum fit and support.

But what about all the different bra styles out there? Don't worry, we've got you covered. Explore the vast world of bra styles and discover the versatility each one offers. From everyday essentials like t-shirt bras to balconette bras, we have you covered.

• T-Shirt Bras: A t-shirt bra is your smooth bestie! It's a seamless and smooth bra that's designed to be invisible under your favorite t-shirt or blouse. Say goodbye to pesky bra lines and hello to a sleek silhouette with a t-shirt bra. Trust us, your wardrobe (and your bust) will thank you!

• Underwire Bras: Ladies, meet your new secret weapon: the underwire bra! It's a bra that uses a hidden wire to provide extra support and lift for your bust. Say goodbye to sagging and hello to a lifted and perky silhouette. From balconette, unlined to plunge, don't let gravity win – try an underwire bra today! 

• Bralettes and Wireless Bras: Bralette vs. wireless bra – the ultimate showdown! Bralettes are like a comfy lounge bra, with no wires or padding. They're perfect for lounging or layering. Wireless bras, on the other hand, provide more support and lift for your bust without the pesky wires. Both are great for everyday wear. It's like choosing between your favorite cozy sweater or your trusty blazer – both have their benefits, it just depends on your mood (and your outfit)!

• Strapless Bras: Our cartwheel tested strapless bras are here! They are designed to stay put without any pesky straps getting in the way. Perfect for those off-the-shoulder tops or dresses. Let our strapless bras give you the support and lift you need while keeping you looking sleek and stylish. No more worrying about bra straps showing – it's time to show off those shoulders with confidence!

Of course, fabric and features play a significant role in bra comfort and performance. That's why we'll delve into the various fabric options available. From breathable cotton and smooth microfiber to luxurious lace and innovative moisture-wicking properties. Additionally, we'll explore the importance of adjustable straps, hook-and-eye closures, and underwire construction for a personalized and supportive fit.

• How to wear a bra? Did you know most women don’t wear their bras correctly? That’s right! After purchasing a bra, we suggest washing the bra first to loosen the fabric, wash away excess color, and debris/dust from the manufacture. Once dry, adjust the straps to a desired length but don’t exceed two-finger tension. Next, start on the furthest hook-and-eyes, which are the loosest. Lastly don’t forget the scoop and swoop method for a sure-fire fit of the underwire.

• What is a Spacer bra and why do you need it? Ladies, have you ever wished for a bra that's both lightweight and supportive? Say hello to your new bestie – the spacer bra! This bra uses innovative technology to create a breathable and lightweight experience. It provides the support and lift you need but with maximum airflow to the bust area. Perfect for everyday wear or for those hot summer days. A spacer bra will keep you feeling cool and comfortable without sacrificing style or support.

• 100% Silk…to Dry Clean or not, that’s the question!  It is highly recommended to dry clean 100% Silk if the product tag states so. Washing 100% silk will weaken the luster and fibers of the garment. Unless the garment states “Washable Silk”. Ending, if says "100% silk" on the label - trust us, DO NOT WASH! 

But what if you have specific needs, such as maternity or nursing bras, sports bras, or post-surgery bras? We'll guide you through the unique aspects of these specialized bras, including the importance of extra support, convenient features, and adaptive designs that accommodate your changing body.

• Sports Bras: Ladies, if you're blessed with a larger cup size, you know how important it is to have the right support during a workout. Our sports bra are specifically designed for busty and fuller bust sizes. Designed without a wire and comfortable no matter how intense your workout is. Say goodbye to bouncing boobs and hello to security and support. It's time to crush those workouts in style!

• Maternity/Nursing Bras: Ladies, from pregnancy to postpartum, your bust goes through a lot of changes. That's why our maternity-nursing bras are here for you. Specifically designed to provide the support and comfort you need during this special time. With easy-to-use clasps, you'll be able to nurse your little one with ease and confidence.

To prolong the life of your bras, it's essential to understand proper care and maintenance. We'll provide practical tips for washing, drying and storing your bras. Additionally, we'll discuss the benefits of investing in lingerie accessories like mesh wash bags and gentle detergents.

• How often should I rotate my bras between wear? We suggest rotating your bras every 2 to 3 days, however the longer the better. 
• How often should I replace my bras? If you wear the bra everyday, expect to replace it every 30-45 days*. If you wear the bra once a week, expect to replace it every 6 months*. Timelines are subject to change.
• How should I care for my bras? We strongly recommend hand washing with our no rinse laundry detergent Soak. If you machine wash, use a mesh bag and only wash with other intimates, as other clothes can become heavier when wet causing more long-term damage.
• How should I store my bras? Never fold or bend your bras, and always lay flat in a drawer or hang up (if you're feeling fancy).
