Foam Cup Inserts: Use and Care Guide

Quick answer

Foam cup inserts add modesty and shaping to your bras and swim tops. Use them correctly and follow simple care steps to keep them in good condition.

How to use and care for foam cup inserts

1. Insert the pads correctly: Place each foam cup insert inside the designated pocket of your bra or swim top. The curved side should face your body for a natural shape. A common mistake is inserting the pad backward, which can cause the cup to look lumpy or uneven.
2. Adjust for symmetry: After insertion, check both sides in a mirror. If one pad sits higher or lower, reach into the pocket and reposition it until both cups look even. Don't force the pad—if it doesn't sit flat, remove it and try inserting it with a different orientation.
3. Machine wash with care: Place the inserts in a mesh laundry bag and wash on cold with like colors. Use a gentle cycle. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Washing without a mesh bag can cause the foam to snag or the polyester cover to pill.
4. Air dry only: Remove the inserts from the mesh bag after washing. Lay them flat to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not put them in the dryer. Heat from a dryer can warp the foam and cause permanent creases or shrinkage.
5. Store flat when not in use: Keep the inserts flat inside your drawer or storage bin. Avoid folding or stacking heavy items on top of them. Folding or crushing the inserts can create permanent lines that show through your clothing.
