switching bra wires and getting the new wire into the channel

Hard Wires and tall gores cause me problems so I have been swapping out wires with wires ill fitting bras and Bravo Bella Flex wires I obtained Love4Pollinators . I can remove the old wires with out problem but putting in the new wires is where I have problems. The Flex wires are very hard to get in I think mostly because the plastic/rubber tips. I use a rubber gripper like one used to open pickle jars, to move the wires into the channel. I cannot seem to get the last 1/2 cm of wire into the channel. Does any one have any tips?

  • Curvy Kate narrows the wire and wire channel near the gore. Lovely. But, it makes inserting a wire with uniform width almost impossible; unless the entire new wire width is as narrow as the narrowest portion of the original wire. Wacoal wire channels are uniform....

  • I tried to insert the wires into a Cleo and a Ewa Michalak and they got stuck. I was able to insert them into my 30F - Pour Moi » Promise Underwired Non Padded Bra (5502) and my 32F - Wonderbra » Natural Push Up Bra (018N) with little problem
