Hand washing smalls?

Hi

Hope this is in the right place-feel free to move.

Handwashing is old style!

Anyhow- been to Bravissimo today and spent £60 on 2 x bra`s- still in shock.

It says i need to handwash and allow to dry naturally.

What is best stuff to hand wash in? Boiught some woolite=cause i rember my mum using it.

Also, how many times should you wear a bra before you wash it?

Seeing them as an investment-so need to look after them.

Thank you

    I always have washed all my bras, cheap and expensive by hand... I do wear them twice most of the time ... they always keep their colour and last for ages and I do mean ages.... I found if I machine washed them they soon lost colour and the wires came out and the elastic went very quickly..... its really worth the effort....
