FAQs

Most of our clients use The Fresh Bra™ to have one less thing to worry about during their busy days (in case of stress, heat stroke, etc.). They avoid having unsightly stains on their pretty clothes for a always impeccable look. They are thus more comfortable wearing outfits that are easy to mark and that they used to forbid themselves (e.g. silk blouse, khaki or sky blue clothing, etc.). The Fresh Bra™ is also very popular as a second skin directly under a sweater or to not feel "naked" with just a bra under a shirt. The Fresh Bra™ also allows you to wear a garment several times without having to wash it systematically, especially quality garments that require gentle or dry cleaning.

All our materials come from plants. They are ultra-innovative and OEKO-TEX 100 certified to respect your body.
The main material is ultra soft, light and breathable. It is composed mainly of bio-sourced poliamide from the castor plant and a little elastane for elasticity.

In the armpits an absorbent complex is integrated:
The part in contact with the skin is a bamboo viscose jersey made in France, with a divinely soft touch and high absorbency. Bamboo is naturally anti-bacterial and thus limits the development of odors. It has an absorbency similar to cotton but dries much more quickly which prevents moisture from retaining under the arms.
The internal part of the absorbent is based on Tencel®, a material made from wood fibers
from sustainably managed forests. The transformation process into textile fibers takes place in a closed circuit to minimize the impact on the environment. It also contains a low percentage of polyester which structures the material for greater durability.

We have taken care to develop a durable product by selecting premium materials so that you can use The Fresh Bra™ for several years.
Our materials are naturally absorbent and antibacterial, they have not undergone chemical treatment to improve their properties so there is no limit in the number of washes to the effectiveness of The Fresh Bra™.
There will be natural wear and tear like any underwear depending on use and care. If you use The Fresh Bra™ regularly and follow the maintenance conditions, you should be able to use it for between 2 and 3 years.

The Fresh Bra™ was designed in Monaco. The materials that make it up are made in Italy and France.
The heat-sealed finishes and assembly are carried out in Tunisia in a specialized factory belonging to a French group which makes premium underwear. Compliance with working conditions is regularly monitored.

Absolutely. We all have different bodies and different personalities so we developed The Fresh Bra™ with the aim of giving women the choice based on their feelings and outfit.
Most of our customers are won over by the moderate support of The Fresh Bra™ and use it as a comfortable alternative to a traditional bra.
If you want very firm support, we recommend wearing The Fresh Bra™ over your traditional bra
There is no elastic in the underbust band so no feeling of compression if The Fresh Bra™ is worn over a bra.

It depends on several factors: your activity, your metabolism, your diet, your menstrual cycle, your personal hygiene.
For example, during periods the smell of perspiration tends to intensify. Eating certain foods (like garlic, for example) can accentuate the smell of your sweat.
Sweating related to stress (and not related to heat) will lead to a stronger odor.
In these cases we recommend washing The Fresh Bra™ after each use.
Generally speaking, if you haven't had a particular sweating peak, you can use The Fresh Bra™ 2-3 days before washing it.
In all cases we recommend daily hygiene of your armpits to limit the appearance of odors.

A distinction must be made between deodorant (which aims to cover the smell of perspiration) and antiperspirant (which aims to block the natural process of perspiration).
By wearing The Fresh Bra™, you will be able to do without antiperspirant and thus avoid using a chemical substance on your skin which blocks the natural sweating process and is often not 100% effective.
The choice of using a deodorant remains personal.

The Fresh Bra™ will capture your sweat well. However, for greater comfort when worn, we have chosen not to include a waterproof layer under the armpits so if you suffer from a severe form of hyperhidrosis, unfortunately we cannot guarantee 100% effectiveness against halos. .
