FAQ

• Are front-closure bras good for large breasts?

  Front-closure bras can be great for large breasts if you keep a few things in mind. First, support: Back closure bras typically offer a little more support because the front center panel of the bra (the “gore,” if you’re using the technical term) can give the garment a little more integrity. Front-closure designs may not have that, namely if you’re dealing with a push-up bra or a plunge. Those styles might leave large-breasted wearers more prone to bounce or spillage, so if you’re worried about that, you might either want to check out a full-coverage front-closure bra or just opt for a traditional back-closure bra.

• How do you wash a bra?

  How you wash your bra really depends on the bra. Some bras are entirely machine washable and dryable. Others require hand washing with a certain detergent. We recommend reading the care label on your bra and going from there, but when in doubt, you really can’t go wrong with a good hand wash using a delicates detergent, followed by a lay flat dry. We recommend washing your bras every two to three wears.
