I know this sounds kind of weird, but I wonder how you wash your bras. Washing them in the machine makes them lose their form. While washing them myself I try to be very careful not to squeeze them very tightly, then I feel they’re not clean enough. Especially washing those fine fabric ones or lacy ones is quite a task for me! How do you wash them?

I just throw them in the washing machine with the rest of my clothes. The only thing I do is make sure that the clasps are closed, otherwise, they usually get stuck somewhere and the clasps get bent out of shape. The only other problem I’ve had with using the washing machine is that sometimes, the wire will come out of the cup. But by then, it was usually time for me to buy new ones anyways.
If I wash them by hand, I soak them in warm water and soap. Then I make sure to rinse them properly and I squeeze the excess water out in a towel. Hang to dry. Or if I need them right away, I’ll finish drying them using my blow dryer. But I agree, they don’t feel as nice as when I do them in the washing machine. So I only do it by hand when I’m desperate.
I use a mesh bag to wash my bras on delicate cycle. I sort them by color just like I do my other wash. I throw the mesh bag in with like colored knits. I hang them to dry so the elastic holds up longer.
If you use a bag, make sure you clasp each bra. If you don’t you will end up with a tangled mess.
I hand wash them in my sink and instead of using price detergents i use hair conditioner. and maybe a little oxyclean, then hang to dry
I wash them in the washing machine with all my other delicates, woolite, cold water, and the gentle cycle, then hang them to dry. I don’t have any problems with them losing shape.
I put em in with my steel caps in the dish washer !!!
Wash them by hand. Then drip dry, Allow them to soak first in warm mild soapy water.
I use the gentle cycle….seems to work…but for the padded bras…I hand wash them.
I usually wash them normally in the machine, but I hang them to dry- heat will make them wear out faster.
If you put them in a nylon bag (during the wash) they don’t get lose.
Get a washable lingerie bag. If I wash all whites I use detergent with bleach on regular cycle then hang to dry.
I wash mine in the washer on the handwash cycle, in cold water with a fabric softener, and hang them up to dry. But my washer is a front-loading and doesn’t have an agitator for them to get tangled on. But I actually did it the same way with my old washer too.
You got some good replies here (I even liked the dish-washing suggestion, though I think he was kidding).
Best to use a fine-washables bag, gentle cycle (cold H2O — especially if the bras are underwire), and line dry.
I make sure the clasp is snapped together and throw it in the washer. The biggest problem is in the dryer, so I make sure mine are hung up to dry.
wash it it in any way dnt care! but best is in machine when it turns bad bye new ones
I hate having to wear stupid bras, but that aside, I just hook the ends together so they don’t snag then throw in the washer with the other whites. I don’t use the dryer though, I hang dry also.
I went to Victoria Secret to purchase some new bras ($50.00 each yikes!)so when I asked the salesperson how to care for
them she said you can hand wash them using a mild shampoo, rinse thoroughly and squeeze dry. I hang them over a shower curtain rod I keep permanently just for hand washables over my bathtub.
