Why The Dryer Can Destroy Your Bra
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.
If women have one common complaint regarding bras, it has to do with getting poked by underwire bras. If you are washing your bra in hot water, you are asking for it. Hot water shrinks the material around the underwire causing it to poke through.
Amazingly we tend to think that bras are invincible. We toss them aside, wear them out, and generally abuse them. However, learning how to care for your bras will actually result in longer wear. Did you know that putting your bras in the dry can cause the material to warp within a few weeks?
Who has time to hand wash anything? Well, you and me. Just designate a bit of time on Sunday and do it. Hand wash your bras in cool, soapy water then rinse and hang up to air dry. It should take no more than 20 minutes.
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.
The washing machine and dryer are wonderful inventions, but not when it comes to certain delicates. Do not be lazy. If you start feeling that way, just put on an uncomfortable bra to remind yourself why you need to care for good bras.
