Most importantly is how to care for your bra. You want to get the longest wear out of it.
Because you are spending a good amount of money to keep your self supported. So the
most important thing you need to consider is how your going to wash. You have two options
you can hand wash or you can machine wash. Hand washing is always, always, always, always,
always the best way to go. If you can not there is no way for you to hand wash. Use
one of these it's a lingerie pop up bag it's mesh and it has a wire on the top and on the
bottom. The reason you want this is because you can stack your bras in here and the wire
is what hits the agitator in the washing machine as apposed to your bras. This keeps the wire
from popping out or bending out of shape and when that happens your bras they start to
hurt you or they fall apart. So this is great thing to use if you must use a washing machine.
Always use the delicate cycle even when your using one of these. When it comes to detergents
those of you that are using Tide, Wollite and All stop. Wollite, Tide, they all have
lanolin in them. Lanolin is a chemical that breaks down elastic. Every single piece of
lingerie you buy is going to have elastic in it. So stop using those use an eco-friendly
or specifically detergent lingerie. The store I work at we sell one called Lasting Care.
Nordstrom's sells For Ever New. You can use Trader Joe's Next to Godliness, Whole Food's
Eco's you have so many options just make sure that it doesn't have lanolin in it. Even baby
soaps are great. Some women I know come into the store and when we talk to them about how
to care for their bras. They tell use that they walk into the shower with their bras.
They use their shampoo as long as it has no die thats perfect. Shampoo is gentle and meant
for your hair so it's grate for your lingerie. They rinse it out in the shower and they hang
it to dry. If it's a molded bra you always want to reshape it and lay it flat to dry.
If its a soft bra you can hang it or lay it flat.
