Keeping Bra Underwire From Poking Out

October 22, 2010

Underwire BraI hope that someone out there is able to help me. I can't count he number of bras that I have had to throw away before they are properly "worn - out". The problem is that the 'bones" or wires come out and bite me!

I have tried sewing over the ends and also applying a patch over the end and so far no luck. I can't wear those without bones, they don't seem to have the same support. I hope that someone out there has the answer as I know that I am not alone with this problem. Many thanks.

Try putting a bit of a heavy fabric like denim or toweling over the end of the wire. Glue it in place with a glue gun or washer safe glue. I also have had that happen and this works for me.

Have the same problem, find it frustrating. I may have come up with a solution. Sew 4 faux leather tabs across the casing under the arms and across the center piece (approx. 1 inch in length and the width of the casing. Easier perhaps to work with a slightly larger piece then trim off excess. I had a piece of beige faux leather and I tried it on a new bra I made. I have a hunch it will work. Hasn't poked out yet.

Use a soft faux leather. A sales lady suggested a soft transparent vinyl -- didn't work.

Moleskin with a stick on back works wonders. Cut a piece just a burn bigger than the hole, peel of backing and press for a few seconds and you're done! DO NOT wash bras in a washing machine unless alone in garment bag on cold water. Otherwise hand wash.

Almost every bra that I have owned has done this. After a month or so of wearing it, the underwire on the left one always starts to poke through the fabric.

Does anyone have any suggestions for the repair of underwire bras when the wire starts poking through the fabric?
