Product Insights
The Cross Strap Triangle Bralette by Simons offers underwire-free support for fuller busts through a system of crossed straps, back tie, ruching, and removable pads, balancing adjustability and shape retention with a blend of 85% reprocessed nylon and 15% spandex that resists stretch and shrinkage. The main tradeoff is that while the back tie and removable pads allow customization for different cup and band sizes, the product requires hand washing and line drying to maintain its fit and durability.

Deep Research
How the crossed drawstring back affects fit
- Simons produces this bralette in a dedicated D-cup variant alongside standard S-XL sizing, confirming that the cross-strap design is intentionally graded for larger bust volumes — the removable foam cups and tie-back construction work with the shape to supply lift without underwire.
- The drawstring back allows wearers to choose a larger size for increased cup coverage and then cinch the ties to secure the band, a customization that fixed-band triangle tops can’t replicate — this effectively decouples the cup-fit from band-fit, a recognized advantage for fuller-busted buyers.
- Crossing the straps at the back anchors them more securely on the shoulders than a straight-back tie, reducing the tendency to slip off during casual movement — a practical edge over conventional triangle bralettes for wearers who want to stay put without constant re-adjustment.
- The centre-front ruching is a permanent gathered seam rather than an adjustable drawstring, meaning it delivers a consistent soft drape that enhances texture but does not function as an on-the-fly coverage control — the primary adjustability remains in the back ties.
How recycled nylon holds up in swimwear
- Recycled nylon exhibits minimal to no shrinkage, so the tie-behind straps won't shift position or become uneven after laundering—the fit you dial in on the first wear stays locked.
- Nylon's high stretch and rebound—retained fully in chemically regenerated versions—means the bralette won't permanently stretch out around the band or straps, even when worn wet all day; it snaps back to shape as reliably as a virgin-nylon swim top.
Removable padding and cup shaping
- The front centre ruching is a deliberate shaping detail that gathers fabric to create forward projection and a cupped contour — it frames the bust while also helping to hide the outline of the removable pads for a seamless look.
- The pockets accept standard triangle swim pads, so if the original foam loses its loft or you prefer a different thickness, you can swap in aftermarket inserts without altering the top.
- Tightening the rear tie straps increases the gathering at the centre ruching, letting you dial in the level of projection from a soft, relaxed drape to a more sculpted, pushed-together silhouette.
- The foam inserts are removable, so you can wear them for modesty and gentle shaping or take them out entirely for a more natural, unlined look — no permanence means the top adapts to different occasions and body preferences.

Q&A
1 answered- What are the recommended care instructions for this swim top to maintain the recycled nylon fabric and the removable foam padding?
- To keep the recycled nylon fabric and removable padding in great shape, we recommend hand washing in cold water with a gentle detergent and line drying out of direct sunlight. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and machine drying, as these can break down the elastic fibers and damage the pads.
