How To Make Your Bras Last Longer!

Many people are able to buy bras cheaply from the many “disposable fashion” stores such as Primark.

But not all bras are cheap, and if you really want that quality of support and to create a killer shape under your clothes it’s really worth spending that extra few quid.

What we are trying to say here is that if you look after your Bra, it will look after your bust for much longer!

Here are some tips that will make your favourite bra last much, much longer: -

• Wash your bra on a delicates cycle separate from non-underwear items. A too vigorous wash cycle will stretch your elastic and may also bend underwired cups out of shape.
• Invest some money in a delicates wash bag. These great bags will ensure that the delicate fabric in your bra is not damaged during the wash cycle.
• Use a specialist delicates wash detergent that will not bleach your bra or degrade the elastic elements.
• If your precious bra is ultra delicate, consider handwashing it rather than putting it in the machine. Even with a delicates bag, more expensive and delicate lingerie could be damaged, which would be heartbreaking!!
• Do not tumble dry your bra. The heat will cause a lot of damage to the fabric and elastic, and you’ll find yourself needing replacement underwear in double quick time.
• Do not wear your bra for more than one day at a time. Now that’s an odd one, isn’t it? We’re told that the lycra elastic in all bras stretches easily, and that the heat of your body will cause it to deteriorate more quickly if you subject it to prolonged exposure. Rotate your bras daily and increase their lifespan!
• Store your bras carefully. Stuffing them in a huge drawer willy nilly can cause the same kind of damage a washing maching cycle does. Your precious undies will be stretched and pulled out of shape. Make sure they are folded neatly away and that the drawer is not over-full.
• Wash your bra regularly This may seem a little counter intuitive, but washing your intimate apparel regularly will remove oil that has rubbed from your skin onto your bra and help it to spring back into shape after wearing. Some people advocate washing every day.
