Frequently asked questions about your bra: all the answers at a glance
Have you ever wondered if a bra without an underwire is better, or why some women swear by an underwire? Do you ever find yourself standing in front of the mirror wondering if wearing a bra is healthy, or wondering why you should take your bra off while sleeping? At Pavo Couture, we regularly receive questions about bras , bralettes , thongs , and the perfect lingerie set . In this blog post, we'll discuss the most frequently asked questions about bras, so you'll know exactly what works for you and, just like us, become a lingerie expert!
Is wearing a bra without an underwire better?
The first question we often get is whether a bra without an underwire is better than one with one. The answer isn't so clear-cut: it depends on personal preference and what your body likes. Some women feel more comfortable in an underwire bra because they appreciate the extra support. Others prefer a bra without an underwire because they find it airier and less restrictive.
Many women choose a bralette, for example, because this type of bra doesn't have an underwire and is often made of soft, breathable fabrics. A bralette often offers less support than a padded, underwired bra, but it does offer wonderful comfort. A bralette is also very trendy and sexy ;) At Pavo Couture, you can pair this bralette with a matching thong for a stylish and feminine lingerie set.
Curious about a beautiful bra without underwire? Then take a look at our Bralette Rosy Bright Red or our Bralette Ruby Black . These bralettes offer ample support and comfort, and they also look super feminine.
Is wearing a bra healthy?
There are many myths circulating about the health benefits of bras. For example, bras are said to be bad for your circulation or even the shape of your breasts. The truth is, there's no scientific research proving that wearing a bra is unhealthy. In fact, for women with larger cup sizes, a bra can actually provide support and help prevent back or neck pain.
Of course, it's important to wear a well-fitting bra. An ill-fitting bra can definitely cause problems, such as chafing straps, pinching, or shoulder pain. Therefore, it's best to get properly measured by a specialist or take the time to try different sizes at home. Pay attention to both the band size and the cup size. A good bra shouldn't pinch anywhere and should give you the feeling that your breasts are well supported.
If you prefer a looser-fitting bra, consider a bralette. These bras create a natural shape , offer light support , and are often made of materials that feel soft against your skin. For a timeless, stylish look, check out our Bralette Vive Black or the Bralette Lune Bordeaux .
Why take off your bra while sleeping?
Whether or not you wear your bra while sleeping is primarily a matter of comfort and personal preference. There's no scientific evidence that wearing a bra to bed directly leads to health problems or that it necessarily causes your breasts to sag. What can happen, however, is that a (tight) underwire bra can pinch at night and cause chafing or red pressure sores, especially if you move around a lot during your sleep.
That's why many women find it more comfortable to take off their bra before bed. This gives your body plenty of room to relax, without the straps digging into your skin. If you have a larger cup size and prefer to sleep with support, a soft bralette or a bra without underwire is a great alternative. This gives you a slightly supportive feeling without any uncomfortable pressure points.
Which bra suits me?
The fourth and perhaps most frequently asked question: "Which bra suits me?" The answer is unique to every woman. The perfect bra depends on factors like your breast size, the shape of your breasts, your personal style, and of course, what you want to express. Do you prefer a romantic look? Then a lace bralette might be your thing. Prefer a bold and minimalist look? A plain, sleek bra can suit you perfectly.
Are you a fan of color? Then the Bralette Lune Bordeaux might be a real eye-catcher in your wardrobe. If you're looking for a versatile black bra, the Bralette Vive Black or Bralette Ruby Black might be perfect. Pair these bralettes with our Ruby Thong Black for a beautiful, complete lingerie set.
The most important thing when choosing a bra is that you feel comfortable in it. So take your time trying on different styles, discovering which fabrics are most comfortable, and deciding whether you prefer an underwire. It can sometimes take a bit of trial and error, but once you've found the perfect bra, you'll feel it immediately!
Comfort or style – or both?
Some women feel they have to choose between comfort and style, but at Pavo Couture, we believe you can have both. A comfortable bralette doesn't have to be basic or boring; by adding beautiful materials and refined details, you can create an elegant look without compromising on comfort.
A bralette is a perfect example. It's essentially a bra style that naturally offers comfort because it doesn't have any underwire. You can choose from an endless variety of styles: from lace to mesh and from solid to bold prints. This allows you to create both a comfortable and fashionable look. Wear your bralette with a matching thong or hipster, and you instantly have a gorgeous lingerie set to keep you sexy all day (or night).
How often should I wash my bra?
Another frequently asked question we receive is how often you should wash your bra. We all know that your favorite bra or bralette is best worn every day, but hygiene is also important. A rule of thumb is to wash your bra after about two to three wears, but this can vary. If you sweat a lot or stain easily, for example, it might be a good idea to wash your bra more often.
Tip: Wash your bra by hand or in a laundry bag on a low spin cycle. This will keep the elastic looking good longer and prevent the fabric from wearing out or becoming damaged. This way, your beloved bra or bralette will stay in top condition for much longer.
The magic of mix & match
At Pavo Couture, we love a good mix and match. The great thing about our collection is that you can combine your ideal bra with a thong, briefs, or hipster in the same color and style. This makes it easy to create your own unique lingerie set. Looking for something a little different? Pair a striking bralette with basic briefs, or go for a solid-colored bralette and a playful lace thong.
Take our Bralette Sam Bright Red , for example, which looks perfect with a red or black thong . Or choose the Bralette Rosy Bright Red and mix it with our Rose Thong Black for a playful color contrast. The possibilities are endless, and there's a lingerie set to suit every mood!
