After a good fitting and spending a small fortune on a good bra...how do you wash it to keep its shape?

I hand wash them in the sink. Fill it with water and soap, put the bra in, let it soak a bit, empty sink, rinse bra under faucet, lay on a towel to dry. I found a youtube video that shows how to do it. (This is for the formed cup bras--the other ones I put in the washer on the delicate cycle.)

I am really careful with them when I first buy them. I wash them on the "handwash" setting on my washing machine in cold water and hang to dry. Then when they are getting broken in and I'm getting lazy, I do like sdeven. I toss them in a normal wash with other clothing. I do fasten the hooks so they can't catch on anything, but they don't get any special treatment after a while.

I hand wash the first few times until I get lazy, then wash in a lingerie bag the washing machine on delicate. I always hang them up, never in the dryer.

Years ago I used to hand wash, but not any more. I fasten the hooks and toss into the wash. I never machine dry them, however. Always air dry.

DH went into my sisters laundry room a few years ago and yelled 'Christ! You're all the same!' Turns out all the women in my family, from my Grandma on down, hang our bras to dry on a wall mounted coat rack. He says he's never seen anything like it. Made all of us women laugh. Then he told my sister he could never look at her anywhere else but her feet after seeing her bras. Lol |

I got mine from Soma and they last forever. |

Open the lid. Throw it in. Turn on machine. This. But I don't buy very expensive bras. I make sure to hook them closed so nothing gets caught up in the washer and then just toss them in with the rest of the laundry. I hang them to dry. At which point my cat steals them out of the bathroom where they are hanging and runs around the house with the strap in his mouth and the rest of the bra trailing behind him. |

In a lingerie bag in the machine That's me. We have a washing code in our house- if it is in a lingerie bag, it does not go in the tumble drier. I dry them on the line or over a radiator. |

I do a setting on my washer - I have a few I pick from randomly. I even put dry clean stuff in there on my hand wash cycle. Anyway, I put them in mesh bags and then hang to dry. nEVeR dryer!

I use the padded mesh bra pouches and put in the machine on delicate wash. I wait until my daughter and I have about 10 between us to make a full small load. I was also told never to use conditioner as it damages elastic, Lycra etc.

I put them in a lingerie bag and wash them with similar colors. Only time I don't hang them to dry is if we're in a time crunch.

In a lingerie bag with my other laundry. Dark ones with the darks and light ones with the lights. Then I hang them up to dry afterwards.

I place them in a lingerie bag. I have more than one bag and don't "crowd" them in the bags. I wash them on delicate with other like colored delicate items. I hang them over a hanger (the front middle part of the bra is on the hanger, with the cups and straps hanging down) to dry.
