Product Information

Therefore, if you want your bras to last longer, then you will have to be extremely cautious while you wash them. If you're sitting there wondering, "What's a wash bag?" Here's what you need to know. They're small zippered or drawstring bags made from mesh or netting (to allow water and soap to still get in and out) that you put your delicates in when you do laundry. You put them in the wash just like you would a sweatshirt or a pair of pants, but they're more protected from the throws of the spin cycle. Bras are far less likely to come out misshapen, lacy pieces won't get shredded, and things like tights and swimsuits avoid getting stretched out and tangled up in your machine. As a general rule, laundry is usually hand-wash only with mild detergent. That probably means purchasing a product besides what you use in the machine for the rest of the laundry. However, the bag protects your bras so they will retain their shape and last longer than if you just throw them into the washing machine unprotected.

Hang your bras on a hanger to air dry. It will take a day or two to completely dry, so don’t wash all your bras at the same time. Tips For Caring For Bras

What about washing bras in a pillowcase if you don’t have a mesh laundry bag? Yes, it can be done. It’s not our favorite method because the pillowcase isn’t as breathable as a mesh bag so the bras don’t always get washed as thoroughly as we’d like. Rinse your bras in cool water until all the soapy lather is removed and the water runs clean. Gently squeeze out your bras to remove excess water. Be careful not to wring your bras as it will stretch out the fabric. 6. Towel Dry & Air Dry on Hangers By following the above tips, you should be able to wash your bras in the washing machine without any problems. Instead, you should put your bras on hangers to air dry.

Don’t overfill

You should wash your bras after 2 or 3 wears, as it doesn’t take much sweat for your bra to become dirty. Over a day, your body will transfer its natural oils to the bra’s fabric. Bacteria thrive in these conditions which can lead to rashes, infections, and breakouts. A sports bra will need to be washed or rinsed in warm water after every workout.

What is the preferred method to wash a bra? So, here’s how it works. If it’s a sports bra, toss it in the laundry right away. The same goes for any bra that’s stained or smelling bad. Mix the recommended amount of detergent into cool water and submerge your bra. We usually spend a few seconds gently massaging the bra to work the soap into the fabric. Then let it sit while the detergent works its magic.
