Should I Throw Bras in the Wash?
After learning your correct bra size to avoid
neck, back, and shoulder pain, learning how to wash your bras is the next step
in caring for your breasts and body.
Washing bras and lingerie can damage the material if not done properly.
If using a washing machine for your bras place them in a mesh
lingerie wash bag.
This will protect the bras and lingerie from being wrapped around the agitator
and other clothing.
When washing bras and lingerie, panties or other delicates, it is suggested
you use a delicate soda-based fabric wash. Regular detergents contain harsh
chemicals that breakdown fabrics.
Although washing bras and lingerie is ok, avoid putting your bras, lingerie or panties in the dryer. The heat of the dryer breaks down the lycra, spandex and elastic, so you will find yourself
replacing your bras, lingerie or panties, delicates more frequently.
Rotate your bras since washing bras after every wear is not necessary. This being
said, you should avoid wearing a bra two days in a row. The bra will require
needs a day of rest after wearing to return to its original fit and to breathe;
wearing one bra constantly puts a lot of stress on the fabrics and causes it to
rapidly stretch out of shape and to lose its fit.
Replace your bras every six months. Most bras get worn out and do not
function as they should after six months. Panties will last a little longer
depending on the material used.
