They include:

• Education in the form of a talk & a measuring and fitting service.

• Our experience of reactions is overwhelming positive from the pupils, and usually results in friend groups cheering on each other when finding out their bra sizes!

• As part of this partnership, sports bras will now be included on the kit list. Sports bras are a functional and important part of kit, and therefore shouldn’t be cause for embarrassment.
• This can be a great opportunity to start a positive conversation about a fun fitting that she can enjoy with her friends.
• In our experience, the more relaxed and straight-forward we make this, the more comfortable girls feel.

• Don’t worry, this often happens once they have heard the assembly and learned more about their breast health and support. They become more curious to get this right.
• The ordering form (sent by your school) will be open for several days after the event, please check your deadline and update your order options.
• If you miss the deadline, you can purchase on our website but you will not receive the discount or free postage.

• There’s never any pressure from us for a girl to have a bra just because she gets measured and fitted.
• The education gained from hearing our assembly and feeling the fit of a good sports bra will be invaluable to her going forwards.
• A big part of what we do is teach girls to be “smart shoppers” and not get swayed by brands, clever language, or blame their own bodies for why stuff never fits well.
• We are designers and have created a range that works for growing bodies and all-day wear in a busy school environment. We know how hard bras are to shop for, how much bad product is out there, how limited (and confusing) sizing is and how many girls hate the in store fitting experience. We also know that many girls grow up without someone in their life to share these worries and concerns with.
• So whilst we put huge energy into our education, we also put lots of thought and care into our products, and want to get girls kitted out quickly in a fun environment with their friends.
• We are the only brand that creates sports bras specifically for teens and carries the size range we do (22AA - 38GG).
• All of our experience to date has told us that the girls enjoy and value the experience. If for whatever reason you are unsure if you are due to recieve an order, or have changed your mind. Please do contact the school. All orders are refundable and returnable provided they are unworn and in their packaging with labels.
• We’re not here to sell sports bras that won’t be worn and loved. But we do want to offer the opportunity to help busy parents who may be unsure how to get this right.

• Sports bras are delivered to the girls at school several weeks after the order is confirmed with the school. This may take a few weeks' more if we are out of stock in your daughters size. It will arrive in a follow up order.

• Please contact orders@teampebe.com if there is a problem with the sports bra or the fit once your daughter has received the sports bra.
• We recommend all sports bras should be washed before they are worn to exercise in.
  

• If you’d like to purchase another sports bra after the order deadline, you can buy these directly from our website. However, will be at retail price and not the schools pricing.

• The sports bras can be washed up to 40c (although we recommend 30c)
• Please do not tumble dry, iron or dry clean the sports bras
• They dry really quickly, so just hang them over the line and it’ll be dry in a couple of hours
  

• To help them remember their bra size, they’ll each get a take home ‘size card’ which can be used for everyday bra purchases. Ask her to send you a photo of it after the event, to keep handy!

Most women we fit are shocked by their actual size. The 'M&S way' of measuring has driven this:

• They +4 inches to the underband measurement
• This is to standardise women’s clothing (same reason we shop in 8/10/12, and is unhelpful (men don’t routinely shop this way...)

The difference between the underband & overband measurement is how we work out cup size (please see our how to measure video on our website). Brands like Bravissimo measure the same way as us - if we get one of their customers, they’re always spot on!

Example:

• If you measure as a 30" on your underband (with a tape measure), and a 36" on the overband, the difference between those two numbers is how we calculate the cup (difference here is 6 = E)
• If we use the “add 4” method, we would take the 30 up to a 34, meaning the difference is 2 = B
• This is how a woman who thinks she is a 34B, will find out she’s a 30E - and be shocked...but once she’s fitted, she’ll see/feel the improvement
• An “E” isn’t a cup size on its own, the size is driven by the band measurement - no two E’s are the same!
  

Please note: we use Amazon tape measures in our fitting service, there is no secret here. Shifting this perception is the hardest part of what we do! But please trust us, we’ve done this a lot!

The size we give is your measured bra size in inches (not a special PEBE size ). So where you can find that size and stick to it.

HOWEVER (and this is the annoying bit)...

• Every bra style fits differently, and every brand will have their own size chart (some more accurate than others), they will also make in different factories around the world
• Try and stay true to the underband size and use the cup to get the fit right. If you’re a 34E for example, stick to the 34 and try the DD on. If it’s too small, go up to an E.
• You’ll find the shape of the bra will change if you increase the underband but keep the cup the size - a 34E is a different cup size to a 38E.
• Remember - the back size drives the cup size which is what accommodates your breast volume. If you change both too dramatically, you’ll end up in a pickle.
• This is why we offer a fitting service, and not a measuring service. There are tips on how the underband and straps should feel (on the reverse of the size card given on the day).
