How to Look After Your Bra. So It Lasts Longer + Feels Comfy!
Your bra is one of the hardest working pieces in your wardrobe. It supports you, makes you feel confident, and helps your outfits sit just right. But here’s the secret: if you look after your bra properly, it will stay comfy, keep its shape, and last way longer.
Here are our top bra care tips every teen (and mum!) should know.
1. Don’t Throw It in the Dryer
We know, tossing everything in the dryer feels easy. But bras hate heat! It breaks down the elastic and makes straps stretch out. Instead, gently squeeze out water and lay your bra flat on a towel to dry. Our Gots Organic Cotton hates dryers more than anyone !
2. Hand Wash if You Can
It might sound extra, but hand washing is the best way to care for your bras. Fill a sink with cool water, add a little gentle detergent, and let your bra soak. Then rinse and press out the water.
If hand washing isn’t your thing, pop your bra into the teysha mesh laundry bag and use the delicate cycle.
3. Rotate Your Bras
Wearing the same bra every single day makes it wear out faster. Try to rotate between at least two or three, giving each bra a little “rest day” in between wears. This helps the elastic bounce back and keeps them feeling snug.
4. Store Them the Right Way
Ever folded your bra cups into each other? Big mistake. That can warp the shape and make it less comfy. Instead, lay your bras flat in a drawer, stacked neatly, so they keep their form.
5. Know When It’s Time to Say Goodbye
Even with the best care, bras don’t last forever. If your straps slip constantly, the band rides up, or it just doesn’t feel supportive anymore, it’s time for a new one. A well fitted bra should feel secure, comfortable, and give you confidence.
Final Word
Looking after your bra doesn’t take much effort, but it makes a big difference. A little care means more comfort, longer wear, and less waste which is a win for you and the planet.
At teysha, all our bras are made with organic cotton and designed to last, so with the right care, you’ll enjoy your favourite styles for even longer
