Your bras work hard to support you every day and the way you care for them can make a BIG difference in how long they last!
Here are a few simple ways to protect your favorites:
✨ Rotate your bras. Try not to wear the same bra every day. Giving the elastic time to rest helps it recover and hold its shape.
🫧 Wash them gently. Hand washing in cool or lukewarm water with a gentle lingerie wash is best. If you use the washing machine, fasten the hooks and place your bras in a lingerie bag on a gentle cycle.
🚫 Skip the dryer! Heat can break down elastic and damage cups. Let your bras air dry instead.
👙 Store them properly. Keep molded cups in their natural shape rather than folding or crushing them.
💕 Know when it’s time to replace them. If your band is stretched out, the cups have lost their shape, or your bra just isn’t supporting you anymore, it may be time for a new one.
Taking a few extra minutes to care for your bras can help them stay comfortable, supportive, and beautiful longer.
And remember, if you’re wondering whether your bras still fit properly, come see us at Shapely Hart Bra Fitting Studio for a complimentary professional fitting!
