Even the finest bras have a natural lifespan. Over time, heat, body oils, and regular stretching cause elastane fibers to relax. Here is how to know when it is time to refresh your innerwear wardrobe.
Sign 1: You Must Hook on the Tightest Clasp
A new bra should fit snugly on the loosest clasp. When you have to use the tightest hook and it still feels loose, the band has lost its elasticity.
Sign 2: Straps Keep Slipping Even After Adjusting
Stretched out strap elastics cannot hold tension, leading to constant slipping and poor breast support.
Sign 3: Band Rides Up in the Back
If the back band rides up toward your shoulder blades, it is no longer providing underbust support.
Sign 4: Cup Gapping or Puckering
When cups lose shape and gap under your shirt, the silhouette is compromised.
