I bought a Wonderbra which gave me instant cleavage ... until I washed it. Now I was very careful to handwash it in cold water. But after that it just didn't give me cleavage anymore. The same thing has happened with other push up bras. THey work fine until you wash them. At the moment I have two really nice bras that I bought with my boyfriend and I am scared to put them in the wash in case they get ruined. But I don't want them to smell bad!

Instead of washing the entire bra, try just washing everything except the cups....
Between wearings, instead of washing every time, hang them out to air (you might could spritz a little frebreeze too!), either outside on a line or in the bathroom overnight. I have an old wall mount hat rack in my bathroom I use for just this purpose.

I usually just handwash mine (own 3 wonderbras and a few others). I don't have that problem at all. I wash them in lukewarm water with Dove body soap (it makes them beautifully white) then I hang them inside my bathroom (no direct sunlight or direct heat). I've been doing this since I had them and have never had a problem...

Put in lingerie bag - wash on delicate or handwash mode (whatever your washing machine has), lay flat to dry - fluff up cups and pull fabric on cups so they are not wrinkled. I just lay mine on a towel on top of the dryer. Call the store, tell them after you washed it - it is not the same - they may let you return it for another!

I always wash my bras (push-up or other) in a washing machine on a very gentle cycle and 30C. I put them in the washing net (you can even buy individual bra's washing bag - like this one http://www.essentialbits.co.uk/index.php?mod=product&id_prd=151) and nothing more in the washing machine and they were always fine afterwards. Maybe you were rubbing them too much?
I guess the drycleaning them all the time would be costly..

i get the same thing happen to mine except when my bf washes them, thn they end up multicoloured - i no longer own an all white bra!
i think the most sensible answer was the febreeze thing so il try that as well! it kills bad odours so cant see why that wouldnt work. youve only got a prob then if they are full of dirt which i gotta say is pretty hard to achieve!

The best way to was ur bras are handwashing them if ur just trying to remove some dirt or whatever just wet a cloth with liquid soap or detergent and wipe it down.

Try washing it in Woolite, rinse with cold water and hang dry. Victoria's Secret has beautiful push-up bras as well. Good luck.
