What is the best way to care for my bras?Updated 12 days ago

First, ensure that your bra fits properly. Check that the chest band lies straight across your back, the straps are adjusted, and your breast tissue sits inside the cups.

To best maintain your bras, give them a day of rest between wears (yes, really!). As a general rule, we recommend hand-washing items with gentle soap in cold water whenever possible but washing on a gentle cycle in a laundry/lingerie bag can also work on certain bras. It is always best to line dry your bras; avoid putting your bra in the dryer as this can shorten your bra's lifespan. That said, if you do need to toss a bra in the dryer, be sure to use low heat and avoid drying bras with heavy, scratchy, or sharp things like velcro or zippers, or anything your bra hooks might catch on such as mesh or tulle.

To store your bras, hang them (by both straps!) on a hanger or, if you keep your bras in a drawer, lay flat any that have molded cups, padding, or foam inserts; folding these bras or inverting the cups can damage the shape of the foam.
