3. Wearing Instructions
Follow these steps for proper wearing and adjustment of your Hanes No Dig Support Smoothtec Wirefree Bra:
- Positioning: Place the bra on your body, ensuring your breasts are fully enclosed within the cups.
- Hook and Eye Closure: Fasten the hook-and-eye closure at the back. Start with the loosest setting and adjust as needed for a snug, comfortable fit around your rib cage. The band should be level all around your body.
- Strap Adjustment: Adjust the shoulder straps to provide adequate lift and support without digging into your shoulders. The straps should feel secure but not tight.
- Convertible Wear: For crisscross styling, unhook the straps from the back of the bra, cross them over your back, and re-hook them to the opposite side's strap loop. This option is ideal for racerback or sleeveless tops.

4. Sizing Guide
To ensure the best fit, please refer to the following sizing information. A proper fit is crucial for comfort and support.
4.1. How to Measure Your Bra Size
Use a soft tape measure and follow these steps:
- Band Size: Wear your favorite bra. Wrap the tape measure around your chest, directly under your bust, ensuring it is snug and level. If the measurement is an odd number, round down to the closest even number. This is your band size.
- Bust Measurement: Measure completely around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape measure level.
- Cup Size: Subtract your band size (Step 1) from your bust measurement (Step 2). The difference in inches corresponds to your cup size:
- 1 inch difference = A cup
- 2 inches difference = B cup
- 3 inches difference = C cup
- 4 inches difference = D cup
- 5 inches difference = DD cup
- 6 inches difference = DDD cup
- 7 inches difference = G cup
- 8 inches difference = H cup

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your bra, consider the following common solutions:
- Straps Slipping: Adjust the strap length. If straps continue to slip, try the crisscross configuration. Ensure the band is snug enough to provide primary support.
- Band Riding Up: This often indicates the band is too loose. Try a tighter hook-and-eye setting or consider a smaller band size. The band should sit level across your back.
- Cups Gaping or Overflowing: Gaping cups suggest the cup size is too large, or the band is too loose. Overflowing cups indicate the cup size is too small. Refer to the sizing guide to re-evaluate your measurements.
- General Discomfort: Ensure all adjustments (straps, band) are comfortable and not digging into your skin. The wirefree design should minimize discomfort, but an incorrect size can still cause issues.
