Just take a moment to absorb this! That’s right, a non-wired bra has been thoughtfully designed just for F cups (G cups in the US) and larger. While you may have seen other non-wired bras made for bigger sizes, many of them fall short when it comes to support, separation and shape. We present to you – The Sugar Candy bra!
BACKGROUND
Originally designed as a nursing bra for fuller women, this style recognises that breasts can enlarge considerably during breastfeeding to support milk production. Additionally, they increase in weight. When comparing a lactating breast with a non-lactating one of the same size, the former can be around 33% heavier. They not only increase in size but can also fluctuate throughout the day, before and after nursing. Therefore, this bra was crafted not just for fuller busts but also for those who are heavier and frequently change size.
The bra style became its own brand for non-pregnant/ nursing women, when we realized that mamas who were no longer breastfeeding continued to wear it and raved about it to their friends, post their pregnancies and breastfeeding journeys.
In essence, starting off as a nursing bra, the technology & engineering supports a fluctuating and heavier bust with ease, while ensuring maximum comfort for the sensitive wearer. If you’re not part of the lactating group, you can be confident that you’ll be more than well-supported and comfortable.
THE DESIGN
Creating a bra for a larger bust has been an exciting journey! It’s all about striking that perfect balance to ensure it fits just right, feels comfy, and gives you amazing support. We aimed for a style that was functional, whilst avoiding anything too covering that might feel matronly, while also steering clear of anything too skimpy.
You can rest assured that every stitch is crafted with love and care, so you can enjoy the coziest and most supportive bra ever!
THE DETAIL
What makes it so supportive and shapely? We won’t share all our secrets, but here are a few things that are unique to the Sugar Candy design and patented to ensure they stay that way.
- A patented U–sling technology. An innovative collection of elements designed to elevate, contour, and support your breasts, mimicking the function of a wire without the need to have one.
- The yarn is Nilit Softex 6.6, a super-soft yet extremely durable microfibre. The bra consists of a double layer of this highly technical yarn.
- The slings with carefully internalised stabilizers add lift, that shape and supports your breasts from the sides to project them forward, as well as underneath to lift and separate.
- The cups are thoughtfully double moulded at a lower temperature and for a longer duration, helping to maintain the integrity of the fabric as true to the original as possible. This means you won’t have any irritating seams over your bust. They can stretch and grow with you, regardless of whether you’re an F cup or an H.
- The straps and the hooks and eyes are graded in width according to the size of the bra, so the reinforcement is there when needed to offer the support required for the larger sizes.
- Custom fit: The straps can be crossed for a racerback style or to ensure a more secure fit. We’ve included six hook-and-eye adjustments, allowing the bra to comfortably accommodate various band sizes within each size as well.
I’ve touched on the technical aspects to consider, but did you know it’s offered in a wide selection of skin tones & vibrant colors? You can pick from these based on your mood or for the season. If you prefer the typical skin tones essential when wearing it as a foundation bra, it is also available in various shades.
OUR OBLIGATION
If this information still doesn’t sway you, you’ll be pleased to learn that the brand emphasises environmental responsibility by providing plastic-free packaging from the factory to your lingerie drawer. Our Sydney headquarters operates entirely on solar power, and the bra is Oeko-Tex compliant, ensuring no harmful substances were involved in its production.
