To best maintain your bras, give them a day of rest between wears (yes, really!). Generally, we recommend hand-washing items with gentle soap in cold water whenever possible, but washing on a gentle cycle in a laundry/lingerie bag can also work. It is always best to line dry your bras; avoid putting your bra in the dryer as this can shorten your bra's lifespan. That said, if you do need to toss a bra in the dryer, be sure to use low heat and avoid drying bras with heavy, scratchy, or sharp things like Velcro or zippers, or anything your bra hooks might catch on, such as mesh or tulle. To store your bras, hang them (by both straps!) on a hanger, or, if you keep your bras in a drawer, lay flat. If padding becomes folded in the wash, unfold before drying.
