Soak them in strong cold black tea and make them flesh coloured.

try soaking them in Napisan before you wash them, and if you can, hang them outside on a sunny day.....the sun is usually pretty good at bleaching whites

Napisan I used last time, works well

But I won't hang my bras on the line as it'll take off :rotfl:

I always wash bras by hand , I find however careful I am if I put them in the machine they soon go grey .... by hand they also last much longer before the elastic starts to go home :rotfl:
Even my coloured bras last longer washed by hand.....

the bras that have gel inserts inside which give a bit off oomph!like chicken fillets but already sewn inside so no chance of falling out

What's Napisan and where is it sold? My white sports bra recently had a run-in with my red cardigan :mad:

I've heard that the net curtain stuff you get to bring them back to whites is good for bras. I don't know what it's called but you can get it in Tescos.
