Long Live Your Lingerie

You found it! The perfect bra. It fit’s. It flatters. It’s fabulous. Now, how do you keep it that way? Your new bra won’t last forever but, by following the care instructions, you can prolong its life. With proper care, an everyday bra will last six months to a year.

Bras should be washed after each wearing. Perfumes, lotions, and perspiration can mark fine fabrics. Body chemistry can cause straps and bands to lose elasticity. Regular washing will help prevent this damage. Manufacturers understand their product. Care instructions, while brief, are always right. It’s a good idea to attach hooks and eyes, separate colors, and wash matching sets together.

Fill sink with cool water and mild detergent.
Agitate or rub gently — do not soak for more than 5 minutes.
Rinse well with cold water.
Gently squeeze out excess water — do not wring.
Blot dry with towel.

Always use a lingerie bag to keep your delicates from twisting, stretching, and tangling during the wash cycle. Wash on the delicate cycle.

Some bras are simply not designed to be hand or machine washed. If the manufacturer recommends dry-cleaning, please follow their advice.

“Bras should always be line dried,” says Jennifer from Client Services at VictoriasSecret.com. “Heat of a dryer may destroy elasticity.” Machine drying cotton, underwire, and bras with trim can cause shrinking, wire distortion, and fraying.

After washing, reshape your bra and either hang to drip dry or dry flat on a towel. Dry bras away from radiators and sunshine to avoid fading of colors and discoloration of whites. Some plain nylon bras can be safely tumble-dried. Check labels to be sure. If care instructions allow machine drying, use a low heat setting and a mesh lingerie bag.
