Bra cleaning tips

 

 

 

Females need to keep ALL underwear clean and it's probably easiest to forget to keep track of how clean bras are; more so than any other kinds of lingerie. Particularly when they're not light-coloured. A lot of women also find bras tiresome to clean or wash especially when they're underwired bras. Here are a few tips:


1. Never wash bras with any kind of underwiring or bones in the washing machine. Not even if you're using a lingerie bag. Lingerie bags aren't always successful in protecting bras from getting misshapen in the machine. Don't risk it.


2. Instead, soak it in cold/cool water.


3. Minimize friction and rubbing by using soapy water instead of applying soap directly to the bra.


4. Use cold/cool water to avoid degrading the fabric quickly.


5. Dry bras on as flat a surface as possible rather than using pegs or hanging them on extremely hot heaters for example. Also, never use a dryer.


6. If you must hang them up, don't use pegs as they could distort the shape of your underwire.


7. Don't twist bras too tight when squeezing out the water after washing. Where the bra is underwired specifically, don't bend the bones over too far.


8. Be sure to use a mild detergent.

Some Lingerie Talk

It’s true…a prefectly fitting bra will make you feel like a new woman. I can assure you that you will feel healthier, sexier, more vibrant, walk with your head held higher and your back straighter and you WILL feel an increase in your overall confidence.

Sadly, finding a bra that fits you the way it should is becoming more and more difficult because the people we find in bra stores are usually sales people only and are not actually trained to fit bras. It’s fortunate that we’ve got the internet to help in directing us as to how to measure ourselves but the disadvantage is that there are so many different lingerie labels which come with variations in sizes according to label as well as according to style.

That is why I always advise women to re-fit with each different brand and style they wish to buy. You need to get your money’s worth because lingerie ain’t cheap! And like I always say, you can never really have too many bras. So you need to choose wisely and frequently (or as often as your pocket allows of course)!
