How often do you wash your bra?
It is recommended to wash it after wearing it a few times. The frequency also depends on how active you are and the weather conditions.
For example, if it's a hot and steamy day outside (which affects sweating), you need to wash it more often. So, if you are hot and sweat a lot, wash it like other clothes. If you don't sweat, daily washing is not necessary, it will be enough if you wash it after third, fourth use.
Damp fabric is an ideal environment for bacterial development and other organisms. Washing removes grease and bacteria that can accumulate on the bra, so the oilier the skin, the more often it needs to be washed.

How to properly wash a bra?
To keep their shape, appearance and functionality as long as possible, always pay attention to the label (it contains all the necessary maintenance instructions).
They are the best hand wash. Warm to warm is suitable for cotton, but always wash silk in cold water. Before placing it in the water, straighten its baskets. Soak it for a while (about half an hour), then gently clean it and rinse it thoroughly under lukewarm water. Do not wring it at all, but soak up the excess water with a towel and dry it on a flat surface.
If you do wash them in the washing machine, fasten them beforehand and put them in a washing bag and choose a program that does not damage the fabrics. Always use detergent for delicate laundry.
Avoid tumble drying. The heat and spin in the dryer can damage the elasticity of the bra. Drying in it will eventually weaken the fabric and damage its elasticity.
Avoid detergents! Washing your bra too often can do you more harm than good. Washing too often can affect its elasticity, which is necessary for adequate support.
