wear them in shower??

I stick em in the normal wash and so far never had a wire go astray

I think Lakeland have a more substantial holder specially for bras. I usually just put in a mesh bag but always wash at handwash temp.

If a really nice one swish in the sink with a gentle wash stuff.

I would love to have a properly fitting one. all mine are too big in the cup.

Mine all go in the wash I am afraid - in a laundry bag or a pillow case but in with everything else.

As lovely as some of our bras are, you should be refitted every few months regardless, because our bodies change as we age (unfortunately!!) and the elastacine in the bra does give and stretch.

I used to go to M&S to get mine fitted but they have a complete dragon there now who absolutely loves herself and is appalling at fitting a bra! So the best place I have found was the Co-op (not the food store before anyone gets excited :rotfl:but their dept store) with a lovely lady who really understands what you need - the sort that doesnt need a tape measure but takes one look and says you are such a size so far she has never been wrong!

Mine go in the wash too-just loose.I did try handwashing for a while but it's such a hassle!And they never seem to get as clean as in the machine.I never tumble dry them though.

Hey MrsE :hello:

This was discussed in an older thread - about handwashing bras and lingerie bags etc. I'll add your thread to that one later on

Thanks

Usually in the washing machine, but I don't often wear one.

Mine go into laundry bags (Home Bargains, 99p each ) and into a regular 40deg wash then get hung on the airer to dry.

Use a pillowcase but tie the end tightly with a sock. That way you can tie as low down as you like to avoid 'bounce'. Mind you, I dont tend to bother with mine now apart from net curtains.

im quite sad...I hand wash mine, and then line dry...I like my bras (and boobs) too much to let them suffer the washer!
