Bra Care for the Very Busy


Caring for your bra shouldn't get in the way of your routine
Last week we suggested 4 Tips for your Best Fitting Bra Ever including a section that discussed proper bra care. Intimate apparel can be expensive and it is important to care for it to extend its useful life. But taking care of your bras does not have to be time consuming! In fact, washing your bra can easily fit into your morning routine without waking up any earlier than you would otherwise. Sound too good to be true? Read on!

Note: It is a good idea to have multiple bras that you rotate between. This way you can afford to wash only one bra at a time which makes washing your bras less of a chore (and puts less stress on your intimates).

Soak
We suggest that you soak your intimates for about 10 minutes in cold water before washing them. This will reduce the amount of scrubbing necessary which makes it easier to clean and safer for your delicates.  Morning tip: When you wake up, fill your sink with cold water and let your bra soak while you shower.

Wash
Hand washing does not have to be difficult! Once you are done in the shower take your bra from the sink and gently rub the areas of the bra that touch your skin with a small amount of soap.

Rinse
Rinse off any extra soap with clean water, easy as that!

Dry
Use a towel to pat your bra dry (don’t rub or you might damage the bra) and then hang it to dry. Over a shower curtain rod is the perfect place to hang a drying bra!

These simple steps will only add a minute or two to your normal morning routine and is the perfect way to incorporate proper bra care into your busy lifestyle.
