We often have customers who ask whether wire is bad for you. If wire was bad for me, I would not be having a shop filled with wire bras.
We would always recommend wire free options for those who have recently had surgery or pregnant to prevent reflux.
If you wish to have lift then we suggest choosing a wire bra as we would be asking a lot for a bit of fabric to hold up a 3.7kg breast mass. Please bear in mind that separation is not always possible with wire free as the structure of the gore is absent without the wire. Subsequently, this presents as 'Mono boob'.
But what if you have had issues with wire previously?
We hear this a lot and completely understand. While wire may not be for everyone, often or not, wires digging in are a result of a poorly fitted bra and not the wire itself.
For those who wish to have lift but the comfort of wire free, we offer Flexi Wire as a happy compromise. These are found in our Amoena bras as well as Nursing Bras.
Our cheapest wire free bra starts at $56.95 for a Cotton Front Closing Bra. However, our Rolls Royce of wire free bras is the Cremona by Susa. Its made by the oldest lingerie brand in the world so they have perfected their craft. Providing lift with comfortable, padded straps, this bra is a fan favourite at Capri.
Perhaps you can't afford the Cremona? Then try Elomi Downtime, a comfortable crop version made with butter like fabric that still provides support. It even goes up to a JJ cup.
Whatever you choose, please know that at Capri, we are here to help you find the perfect bra for your breasts.
