I'm curious how you guys wash your bras, I mean do all of you really hand wash them?? Especially the ones from VS, they are all hand wash only and I cannot stand doing this, I guess I'm lazy or something, but does anyone have any quicker tips on how to do this???

I throw them in the wash and if they don't survive, they don't survive. I only hand wash my lingerie. And I wash my lingerie with VS wash for gentles. It smells soooo yummy.

I got the IPEX bra from VS and didn't even check to see if it was hand wash only. And it held up really well!!! I'm so lazy!

No way! I throw them in the washing machine, I don't even use the gentle cycle anymore. I do not dry them in the dryer. I hang them in the laundry room until they are dry. If you use the dryer it wears out the elastic faster, it also mangles underwires.

ditto Ivy.
wash with the rest according to color, but i air dry them on hangers. they're practically the only things i dont tumble dry.

I dont hand wash anything... and I am very fussy with my washing. If it says handwash...I put it on a 30 degree cycle, not had a prob so far

JACQELINERT · 11-06-2006, 04:00 PM

I wash them on regular cycle, but hang them to dry. They do fine. If they tend to get tangled, you can buy those netted zip lingerie bags to wash them in.

leslie0764 · 11-06-2006, 04:53 PM

Ok, so it looks like noone hand washes them, no matter what the tags says. Maybe I'll try washing them in gently and just not dry them. Urrrggg, I hate hand washing anything.

I added a poll to this thread, I hope you don't mind.

I never hand wash anything! My bras go in with all my other clothes at 40 degrees. At the moment I do tumble dry my bras (on low) but that's only because they're old and worn out LOL. When I have luscious boobies and gorgeous new bras, then I won't tumble dry them, but will keep washing them in the machine as usual. Life's too short for hand washing...

I hate hand washing things...heck i hate doing laundry period!...lol
I have some VS bras and just throw them in the wash with everything else.

hottermomma · 11-06-2006, 06:31 PM

I machine wash, remove them and rehape them and let them dry on top of the dryer or hang them.

JOSEA · 11-06-2006, 07:57 PM

I bought a mesh lingerie bag...prevents the bra straps from snarling around other clothing items in the wash or tangling with each other.

I also use Woolite & dry them in the dryer on delicate, still in the mesh bag.

val(gomoms) · 11-06-2006, 08:14 PM

GUILTY! i hand wash them. i'm careful with all my clothes. i barely use the dryer.

vanessa323 · 11-06-2006, 10:46 PM

I don't handwash anything unless it's extremely delicate. i usually do two very small loads of delicates on gentle cycle with Woolite (one darks/one lights) and line dry them.

I have a "hand wash" cycle on my washer and usually have a bra day when they all get thrown in at once.
