FAQs
Should I always wear underwire?
For DD+ generally yes. Wireless options exist but soft-cup bras often lack the structure for DD+ support. Wire isn't tight if sized correctly.
Why side panels?
Side panels (the strip of fabric between cup and band on the side) hold the breast forward, prevent side spillage, and stabilize the cup. DD+ bras with weak side panels feel insecure.
