How can I make my bras last longer?

Making your bras last longer requires intentional care and smart maintenance practices. 

Your bras maintain their support when you rotate between multiple styles, giving each bra 24-48 hours to recover its shape between wears. 

Hand washing with mild detergent preserves the engineered structure, but if you use a machine, place bras in a mesh lingerie bag on a gentle cycle with cold water and avoid fabric softeners that break down elastic fibers.

Air dry your bras by laying them flat — never use a tumble dryer as heat can damage the glue and elastic. Store your bras properly by stacking them with cups intact rather than folding one cup into another, which helps maintain their structural integrity.

With proper care, you can extend the 6-12 month typical lifespan of your bras, ensuring they continue to provide the targeted support you depend on daily.
