Underwires
Many bras have underwires to hold and support the chest. However, daily use of underwear makes it easier to deteriorate quickly. At BOHIN we know that you can't repurchase underwear every week. Save money and time by repairing your underwear yourself or making it at home!
Our bra ribs made in France are available in 11 sizes:
- Size 75 = 168mm

It is important to choose the exact size of the boning so that it fits perfectly to the size of the hat. This is why we advise you to measure the size of your worn ribs.
Our bra bones are made of steel covered with nylon to ensure solid and durable support over time, while remaining comfortable for the chest.
What is the underwire of a bra?
The underwire of a bra is used to support a woman's chest so that she does not have pain when she moves or to give a beautiful shape to the chest. The frame supports the weight of the chest and distributes it along the bones for effective relief. Bra stays are practical haberdashery accessories to replace broken or twisted stays or to make your own bra.
If you like corsets, want to make one yourself or repair your favorite corset, the boning will be even more useful to you. This little accessory will allow you to strengthen your lingerie so that it lasts over time and becomes more resistant. They are also suitable for swimsuits. In fact, some swimsuits are made in the same way as a bra and have a very similar underwire. In this case the ribs will be perfectly suited to this use.
So you will have understood that whales are everywhere! They are an essential part of the underwire of many of your underwear or lingerie styles.
How to install underwear stays?
This lingerie accessory is very easy to put on. To install it on your underwear or your swimsuit, simply slide it into the lower part of the cups. Be careful, the bra stay has a direction in which it must be worn. To be sure not to make a mistake, check that the colored side of the whale is in the middle of the torso, on the inside of the bra. Sewing enthusiasts will be able, thanks to this accessory, to make their underwear in the size and fabric they prefer.
Are you starting to have more and more worn out bras but don't want to buy them again? To fully consolidate your underwear, find our clips for straps to reinforce them and consolidate the support of the bra.
