I finally have found a bra style that fits me well. It has more structure to it than I am used to. In the past I've just washed my bras in the machine on delicate. But I want to make sure these babies don't get messed up in any way. There are four and they don't fit into my small sink even one at a time. I don't have a mesh bag but I could use a pillow case. Do you think that would work? What is your best advice?

If you live in the U.S. Mesh bags are $1 at Dollar Tree. But a pillowcase should work. Be sure the bra is fastened before washing!
If you choose to hand wash, you can always use the bath tub.

I would handwash them. I'd use a basin or bucket if the sink was too small. Cool or cold water and very little detergent. I know handwashing's a pain but I think it's worth for structured things that are useful and expensive, like a good bra.

Mesh bag, delicate setting, cold wash and rinse, use woolite or small amount mild detergent, hang dry

Speaking from my experience...
No matter how careful you are using a machine, it will gradually compromise the structure of your bra. Machine agitation and spin cycles, no matter how gentle, will break down the structure. I advise hand-washing, it only takes a few minutes. I use a mild washing liquid in the kitchen sink, and the results are excellent... Ecover Delicate Wash.

I've heard it's the dryer that messes up bras. I wash mine on delicate in the washer and make sure I hook them shut. I dry them on the shower rod.

If your sink is too small to wash all of them at once - then wash tehm one at a time. It is a pain but a good bra lasts longer if it is handwashed.

I use the apartment complex's laundry room so I don't sort. What I do is wash them, then hang them up on my dresser drawer knobs to dry. No clothesline.  |
