5 Golden Rules for Washing & Preserving Bra Elasticity for 200+ Wears

A high-quality bra is an investment in daily comfort. With the right care regimen, you can keep the elastane fibers resilient and colors vibrant for over 200 wears.

Rule 1: Always Fasten Hooks Before Washing

Loose hooks can snag delicate lace trims or pull threads from cotton cups. Always fasten the back clasp before washing or storing.

Rule 2: Wash in Cool Water with Mild Detergent

Hot water breaks down the delicate spandex fibers and elasticity. Use cold water (under 30°C) and a gentle liquid wash.

Rule 3: Use a Mesh Lingerie Wash Bag

If machine washing, place bras in a zippered mesh pouch on a gentle/delicate cycle to prevent twisting around the agitator.

Rule 4: Never Wring or Twist the Cups

Gently press excess water out between your palms or with a clean towel. Wringing damages memory foam padding and lace stitching.

Rule 5: Air Dry Flat in the Shade

Never put bras in a tumble dryer—heat destroys elastic bands instantly. Reshape the cups and dry flat away from direct harsh sunlight.
