b.tempt'd is Wacoal's younger, more playful line: lace bras, T-shirt bras, bralettes, matching briefs and loungewear, priced below the main Wacoal range but built on the same fit expertise. The b.tempt'd site sells the full range direct, including colours and sizes that shops may not stock.
A good b.tempt'd order is almost entirely about fit. The right style in the wrong size is still the wrong bra, so this guide covers measuring, reading the fit, and then choosing a style.
Measuring for a b.tempt'd bra
Measure in an unpadded bra or none. Take the band measurement snugly around the ribcage, directly under the bust, with the tape level all the way round. Then measure loosely around the fullest part of the bust.
Use the b.tempt'd size chart on the site to convert those numbers, rather than a generic calculator, because brands differ in how they translate measurements. Treat the result as a starting point, not a verdict.
If you already own a Wacoal or b.tempt'd bra that fits well, that size is a better guide than a tape measure. Start there and adjust by style.
Bodies change with weight, hormones, pregnancy and time, so re-measure every year or so. A size that fitted two years ago is a common reason a new b.tempt'd bra feels wrong out of the box.
Reading the fit
The band does most of the support. It should sit level and firm on the loosest hook when new, since bands stretch with wear and the tighter hooks are for later. If the band rides up at the back, try a smaller band.
The cups should hold all breast tissue without gaping at the top or cutting in. Gaping usually means a smaller cup or a different shape; spilling over means a larger cup. The centre panel, or gore, of an underwired b.tempt'd bra should lie flat against the breastbone.
Straps should stay put without digging in. If you are tightening them to get lift, the band is probably too loose.
Sister sizes
Cup volume is tied to band size. Going down a band and up a cup keeps roughly the same cup volume on a tighter band, and going up a band and down a cup does the reverse. These are sister sizes.
If a b.tempt'd bra fits the cups but the band feels loose, try the sister size with the smaller band. If the band is tight but the cups are right, try the larger band with the smaller cup letter. This is the quickest way to fix fit without starting from scratch.
Choosing between styles
b.tempt'd lace bras are the line's signature, usually with light lining or unlined cups. They show your natural shape and suit people who want a lighter feel. Lace can show under thin, fitted tops, so pair them with patterned or layered clothes.
T-shirt and contour bras have smooth, moulded cups that disappear under fitted tops. They offer more coverage and a rounder shape. Wireless bras and bralettes trade some lift for comfort and suit lounging, smaller busts or sensitive skin.
Each b.tempt'd style runs slightly differently, so read the product notes and reviews on fit before ordering an unfamiliar style in your usual size.
Care that keeps the shape
Hand wash b.tempt'd bras in cool water with a mild detergent, or use a lingerie bag on a delicate cycle. Fasten the hooks first so they do not snag the lace.
Skip the tumble dryer, which weakens elastic and warps underwires. Lay flat or hang by the centre gore to dry, and follow the care label on each piece. Rotating two or three bras lets the elastic recover between wears.
Where the b.tempt'd savings are
The 20% b.tempt'd code is the best here. Use it on a multi-piece order, such as two bras and matching briefs, where the saving adds up.
The free-shipping code suits a single bra order. Since fit sometimes needs a second try, check whether returns and exchanges carry a cost before choosing between shipping and a percentage.
The 10% code looks like a single-use code. It may already be redeemed, so try it only if the other two will not apply.
b.tempt'd codes do not normally stack and may exclude sale items. Check the current b.tempt'd returns policy for intimates, since hygiene rules often restrict returns on worn or unsealed pieces.
