Most women are shocked to learn they should wash their bras every three wears—and never three days in a row. Rotating them, just like your favorite jeans or shoes, gives the elastic time to recover so the band stays snug and supportive. That “mystery” discomfort, slipping straps, or gaping cups often isn’t your body betraying you; it’s a tired, overworked bra that’s been pushed past its limit.
How you wash them matters just as much. Hand washing is best, but if life is busy, a mesh garment bag, delicate cycle, cold water, and hang-drying can dramatically extend a bra’s life. And before you buy yet another size you’re guessing at, let a professional fitter measure you. Bodies change with age, pregnancy, and weight shifts. The right size, cared for the right way, turns a daily annoyance into quiet, effortless support.
