Girls With The Mostest

The girl at VS measured me wrong and told me a size bigger than i thought i was. I figured this was her job so she must be right. I bought a few bras and i wash them before i wear them. They ended up sliding around and 1 cup was close to the middle of my chest and the other had my nipple sticking out. I went back and someone else measured me and i was right on my size. When i exchanged them the girl ringing me out made it like i stretched them out. I told her i washed them out by hand and put them out to air dry. She said that should be fine and told me to make sure i use Baby Drift (something like that) b/c wash soap has fiber glass in it and it will ruin bras. So how do you wash them???

I hand wash mine also. I have a few that I have had for a while and I will wash them in the machine and hang dry.

I'm bad because none of my bras are over $25 so I just machine wash - sometimes in the bra basket I bought. Then I either air dry or sometimes machine dry if I want them to sort of 'shrink' more. . . . well at least the feel tighter to me when I machine dry but it could all be in my head! LOL

I hand wash mine and lay them on towels to dry....takes forever but I paid a lot for them and I'm not going to ruin them!!! Before my BA I always put them in the washer/dryer though!

I place mine in one of those wash-bags and they never stretch or loose shape..

I also use the lingerie-bags for washing all my delicate items of clothing, their GREAT and only about $4.

I always hand wash my bras. I use 7th Generation-Sensitive Care. It is very gentle, biodegradable, non-toxic and cost effective.

Nordstrom also carries a lingerie wash. My friends love it.

In the machine. Once I start wearing larger, more expensive bras they'll be hand-washed.

I handwash and lay flat to dry. I did that before my BA also as I always bought really nice high end bras.

Thanks for all the tips. I hate hand washing. I think i might go get one of those bags to put them in for the washer. I know i have a gentle cycle but i don't think i have ever used it.

Keeter... When DH and i built our house i couldn't touch the fiberglass b/c i would get itchy from it. I don't know what the reason would be for it to be in soap but i never check the ingrediants. I used organic soap on them yesterday b/c i knew it would be safe. I can only use a few laundry soaps b/c most of them make me itch. I'm assuming someone told her that so she was repeating that. Maybe that is why they have Baby Drift for babies. I'm just not really sure with all the garbage they put in stuff anymore.

Hi all,

I use to wash my bras by hand, and hang them for dry, and i never have problem with loose bra fitting and all, this is all depend on the fiber of bra, this have to check before buying.
