Quick answer
Start with the dual-cup size that matches your current bust, then adjust the straps and back closure for a snug band and smooth 3/4 cups. Wash it cold on a gentle cycle and air dry to protect the recycled lace.
Why the FlexFit fit changes as your body changes
The Warrior FlexFit is a wireless bra with 3/4 soft cups and dual-cup sizing, so it is designed to flex through pregnancy and postpartum rather than lock you into one shape. That flexibility is useful, but it also means the fit you dial in at 20 weeks may feel different at 6 weeks postpartum or when supply settles. Recheck the band and cup coverage whenever your body changes noticeably, instead of assuming the first fit is permanent.
What black lace care actually requires
Black recycled lace hides stains well, but it shows abrasion and pilling more than lighter colours. The practical trade-off is that you can wash it less often than a pale bra, but you still need to protect the lace from rough zips, hooks and hot water. Treat it as a delicate item, not a daily toss-in-the-machine bra.
Your step-by-step fit and care routine
- 1. Measure before you choose a size: Measure your underbust snugly and your bust at the fullest point, then use the dual-cup size that covers your current measurement. Common mistake: sizing up to allow for future engorgement, which leaves the band too loose now. Re-measure at six weeks postpartum if your supply changes noticeably.
- 2. Fasten the band on the loosest hook: A new bra should feel snug on the loosest hook so you can tighten it later as the band relaxes. Check that you can slide two fingers under the band at the back. Common mistake: starting on the tightest hook, which leaves no adjustment room.
- 3. Adjust the straps for lift, not tightness: Tighten the straps until the 3/4 cups sit smooth against your bust without digging into your shoulders. Common mistake: over-tightening to compensate for a band that is too loose. If the band rides up at the back, go down a band size rather than shortening the straps.
- 4. Check cup coverage in the drop-down position: Unclip each cup and check that the fabric folds away cleanly without twisting. Common mistake: letting the lace fold back on itself, which creases the sheer fabric over time.
- 5. Wash cold on a gentle cycle in a lingerie bag: Close all hooks, place the bra in a mesh bag and wash on cold with a mild detergent. Common mistake: washing with jeans or towels, whose zips and heavy fabrics abrade the lace. Skip fabric softener, which coats the recycled lace and reduces its stretch recovery.
- 6. Air dry flat or hanging, never in the dryer: Reshape the cups and dry flat or hang by the band away from direct heat. Common mistake: tumble drying, which can shrink the band and distort the soft cups. Rotate two bras so each has a full day to recover its shape between wears.
