Bra stays

Bra whale

For a woman, underwear is essential to her outfit. It's worn daily. You can find it in all shapes, colors, and materials. Some are underwire-free, with underwire, push-up, bralette... Not every woman has the same needs depending on her body shape or preferences in terms of support and comfort.

Many bras have underwires to support and hold the bust. However, daily use of underwear can quickly deteriorate. At BOHIN, we know that you can't buy new underwear every week. Save money and time by repairing your own underwear or making it at home!

Our bra stays, made in France, are available in 10 sizes:

It is important to choose the right size of the underwire so that it fits perfectly to the size of the cup. This is why we recommend that you measure the size of your used underwires.

Our bra stays are made of nylon-covered steel to ensure strong, long-lasting support while remaining comfortable for the chest.

What is the underwire of a bra?

A bra's underwire is used to support a woman's breasts so they don't feel pain when moving or to give them a beautiful shape. The underwire supports the weight of the breasts and distributes it along the bones for effective relief. Bra underwires are practical haberdashery accessories for replacing broken or twisted underwires or for making your own bra.

If you love corsets, want to make one yourself, or want to repair your favorite corset, boning will be especially useful. This small accessory will allow you to reinforce your lingerie so that it lasts over time and becomes more durable. They are also suitable for swimsuits. Indeed, some swimsuits are made in the same way as a bra and have a very similar underwire. In this case, boning will be perfectly suited for this use.

So you'll have understood that whalebones are everywhere! They are an essential part of the underwire of many of your underwear or lingerie styles.

How to put on underwear stays?

This lingerie accessory is very easy to put on. To install it on your underwear or swimsuit, simply slide it into the lower part of the cups. Be careful, the bra underwire has a specific direction in which it must be placed. To be sure not to make a mistake, check that the colored side of the underwire is in the middle of the torso, on the inside of the bra. Sewing enthusiasts can, thanks to this accessory, make their underwear in the size and fabric of their choice.
