Can you fix wire coming out of bra?
Pull out the underwire a little bit through the hole it is poking through. Use a tiny piece of duck tape to cover up the sharp end of the metal underwire, so it will be more difficult for it to poke through again. Don’t use too much tape, or it won’t fit back through the hole.
Why does the wire in my bra come out?
The bra band is too big. Your bra band is designed to fit snugly so it keeps the bra in place. A band that’s too big won’t stay in place though. Instead, the bra will move as you move. This means the underwire is also moving around within its casing, which can cause the underwire to pop out of the bra.
How do I stop underwire poking under my arms?
The solution is simple: Go up a band size. How do you know you’ve found the right size? Make sure the center gore between the two cups is flat against your sternum.
