The wonder of wire-free bras

• Structured bands:

The band of a bra plays a crucial role in providing support, regardless of whether the bra has an underwire or not. In wire-free bras, where there is no underwire to provide additional support, the band becomes even more important.

A well-fitted band should sit snugly around the ribcage without causing discomfort or feeling too tight. Additionally, a wider band can offer more support by distributing the weight of the breasts more evenly across the torso. This can help to prevent the band from digging into the skin and minimize any discomfort or irritation.

• Separated cups:

Separated cups provide individual support to each breast, helping to distribute the weight more evenly and reduce any discomfort or strain on the shoulders and back. They also help to maintain a more natural and flattering shape.

• Adjustable straps:

Adjustable straps enable you to customise the length of the straps to suit your shoulder height and preference, preventing them from digging into your shoulders or slipping off. Meanwhile, hook-and-eye closures on the band allow you to adjust the tightness of the bra around your ribcage, ensuring a snug and supportive fit.

You will find these qualities in our soft bras, sports bras (yes, they are not just for sport!) and bralettes. Our full range of mastectomy bras is wire-free.
