If you wear underwire bras

Always on gentle, sometimes in a lingerie bag, sometimes not. The only time I’ve had a wire come out in my whole history of wearing bras was when I dried a bra and the two I bought from Victoria’s Secret which were not dried. I think VS are not the greatest quality.

i do and have not had a wire fall out in ages. i wash in cold, on gentle cycle and hang to dry. i have been buying them airie in recent years... reasonable price, and they wash and hold up well.

I think it has to do with the quality of the bras. Since I've been buying mine at Nordstrom (I wear a 38DD) for the past few years I haven't had this problem.  I usually buy Natori, Chantelle, or Wacoal bras. I know I shouldn't but I wash mine with the regular dark clothes on cold on the regular cycle without a mesh bag. My bras are usually around $50-60.00 but I wait for a sale and they last for a very long time. 

Nope, I just toss them in the wash with regular laundry. The only time I've had a wire pop out was after I wore a bra to death.

I wash on gentle and hang to dry and haven't had any issues since.

I wash mine in a large mesh laundry bag. I can fit 3 or 4 in the bag and wash with like colors on a regular cycle. I hang them to dry. I wear a bra twice before washing and they usually last for years. I think I’ve only had the wires wear through once or twice. Usually I give up a bra because it gets so worn that the nylon threads start to irritate my skin. I’m weird that way

This is how I wash them and never a problem with the wires ever.

I'm the same.  I usually buy off the clearance rack, so they're not expensive.  They get washed in the regular wash with other items and dryer dried.  When a wire gets pokey I toss the bra.  

Wash in a mesh bag and air dry. I don’t think I’ve ever had a wire pop out. I don’t baby my bras, but I’m not very hard on them. They have to work 8 hours a day, 4 days a week. And after that, it’s either no bra or softer sports bras.

I've never found an underwire that probably fits me - possibly because I'm too cheap to spend THAT much on a bra for me ...it's bad enough spending $50+ on DD's bras. But DD18 wears underwires - we wash on cold with the rest of the clothes and hang to dry. I don't think she's ever had a wire come out.

I've never had a wire come out. I wash in my machine on the handwash cycle and hang to dry.

Most of my bras are the Warner brand, purchased from Kohls.

Same, same. 
I wear a small band/large cup size which I've really only ever found at Nordies, and I buy the same brands. I buy in July during the Anniversary Sale so they're only expensive, rather than   

I wash all my bras (hooked closed) together on cold, gentle cycle, hung to dry, and I wash them less often than some people would, but my bras last 2-3 years without any pokey underwires. The elastic gives out, or my size changes. I stopped using mesh bags after I noticed that they were the only things that ever tangled in the bra hooks.

Of course, buying from Nordstrom, I would return the bra as defective if the wire poked out of its pocket, unless the bra was years old. 

I used to work at Victoria's Secret and the manager always told us we should tell people to use the lingerie bag, if not hand wash, and no dryer. I always just tossed them into the washer with the rest of my load and into the dryer. Now, years later, I can honestly say it depends on your washer/dryer and the bra. If you love the $12 bra, then keep fighting the wires coming out.
