To wire or not to wire, that really is the question.
If you’re having a bit of trouble getting to know your cups and not too sure whether to go for an underwired or a non-wired bra, we’ve got you covered. Quite literally.
Read on to find out which one of these classic styles is for you.
What is the difference between wired and non-wired bras?
Wireless bras and non-wired bras generally both have great benefits, it’s not simply a case of one being better than the other.
The main difference between the two styles is that one has a wired structure, the other doesn't. It’s all about personal preference and no one knows what’s best for your body more than you.
What is an Underwired Bra?
An underwired bra is a common bra style which utilises a thin, metal strip in the underband to help support and lift your shape. The wire is sewn into the fabric of the bra and sits just below the cups, providing all the support you need!
