Is Hot Water Good for Bras

By Tiffany Hart


Finding a comfortable bra can take a lot of time. Purchasing it can take a lot of money. If you are going to go through all the hassle, it would seem to make sense that you should try to make them last. It all comes down to care.

A bra is a delicate piece of clothing. The primary issue is the elastic band. It only lasts so long. If you were it more than one day straight, you risk shortening its life and the bra as well.

There is nothing more irritating than an underwire gone awry. This only happens when you wash your bras in hot water. Washing your bras in cold water will ensure that the material does not shrink keeping your underwire where it should be...underneath the material.

Our bras take a beating. One area where we do serious damage is in drying them. Bras should not be dried in a dryer. The excessive heat will warp the bra and change the shape. Air dry them for longer lifer.

Though it might seem like a pain to hand wash and hang dry your bras, this is often the best course of action. If you put all of your bras into a pile at the end of the week, you can then do one big load of bra washing. Simply swirl them around in the tub with a bit of gentle soap, rinse, and then hang them to dry.

The facts are clear. Bras are expensive and as soon as you find a comfortable one, the brand cancels it. If you care for your bras, they will last longer and save you a lot of money in the long run.

Do not throw your money down the drain just to save a few moments. Wash your bras by hand and hang them to dry. It is the only way that you will get the most from your lingerie. Sure, tossing everything into the washing machine is easier, but it is also the best way to ruin your bras in a flash.
