How should I wash my bras?
How often should I wash my bras?
This is really more of a personal preference. This can vary depending on the number of bras you own, the type of activity you engage in during the day, or the time of year. For example, after exercising in a sports bra, you probably want to wash that right away. If you only have one or two bras that you wear, you probably want to wash them once a week. If you only wore a bra for a few hours during a period when you weren't particularly active or sweaty, you might not need to wash it as frequently. However, if you wore a bra at an outdoor festival for several hours in the summer and were sweaty, you’d probably want to wash that one right away too. As long as you are hand washing and line drying your bras, how often you wash them won’t really affect their quality.
How many bras should I own?
We always recommend having at least three. This allows you to alternate between washing, drying, and wearing your bras. In general, the more bras you rotate wearing, the longer your bras will last. If you only have one bra that you wear every single day, it will typically last about six months. With two or three, they will last for about a year.
What types of bras should I own?
- Everyday bra: a comfortable, neutral-toned bra that can be seamed or seamless.
- Strapless bra—for those special occasion dresses or tops that just won’t work with a regular bra.
- Sports bra: a bra designed to minimum bounce, prevent chafing, and wick away sweat.
- Plunge bra—a bra for your low-cut outfits.
- Confidence Boosting/Date Bra—this is the bra that makes you feel like you can take on the world! It looks great, and it makes you feel fabulous!
- Comfy wireless bra—for those days you just want to lounge around, this bra gives you just enough support, so you feel comfortable but has a barely there feeling.
