Answer 1

This is a good question and hopefully the guys will just let us alone........maybe if we promise not to make dirty underwear jokes? :)

Now to your question: I have a business acquaintance who is an executive for VS. She explained to me that most of the VS bras are not made to be washed every time they are worn. I know!

But honestly if you wash them even by hand constantly they will not last long! The foam in the padding actually deteriorates really super fast and you will not have the same bra.

Sheri (my friend) says that it is much better to wear them several times before washing at which point you can throw it in the gentle cycle or hand wash it. OR she also said you can wear it in the shower a little shampoo or shower gel while wearing and then towel dry - still not every wear.

The only bra that she recommends washing more often is the 100% cotton things which I wouldn't be caught dead in anyway - I mean what's the point I can get those at walmart or anywhere - lol!

Good luck sweetie!

Answer 2

to handwash i fill my bathroom sink with warm water and add in soap (i actually jsut use liquid hand soap, jsut a little not a lot but you cna buy specialty soaps for bras and such)
gentle rub the bra and just.....well clean it! just sdont be rough, that is the point of handwashing after all. i also let mine soak in the water fora few mins just to make sure ti smells really fresh. then ill drain the water, squeeze any water from the bra and rinse it in the sink under cool running water. and DEFINETLY let air dry!!
they have these things you can biuy which look like large balls that you toss into the laundry and you put your bra inside it so youdont have to handwash it, but it protects it from your other clothing and all the friction
once youve had the bra fora while and through use and wash the edges of the cup of the bra may start to curl alittle bit and almost stick out...so when you wear liek a tshirt over top you may see the ridges of the cups. but if youre careful with how you handle and wash your bras that shouldnt happen, or atleast fora while..i dont know exactly how to reshape a bra though, sorry!

Answer 3

Fill a small sink, like the bathroom sink, with lukewarm water and Woolite or another mild soap. Put the bras in and swish them around until they seem clean, then rinse thoroughly.

Just shape the cups with your fingers until they are back to their original shape, then air dry the bras. I guess if you don't reshape them, the padding or whatever will lose its shape and get lumpy or whatever. I hope that helps.

Answer 4

I usually fill up the kitchen sink with water and some woollite then push the bras through the water, letting it "flow" through. Then I rinse under running water. Reshaping just basically means to not let them dry without a weird fold, I usually hang them on a hanger and position the cups to sit well.

Answer 5

You put some mild detergent in the sink, with warm water, and swish the bra around in the bubbles. Then you rinse it a lot to get the soap out, wrap it in a towel to press out all the excess water and let it dry over a towel on the shower rod.

Or, put it in a pillowcase with a zipper or a lingerie bag, or a pillowcase closed with a rubber band, and put it in the washer on the gentle cycle with pretty much any detergent. Let it air dry because the bang around on the walls of the dryer is pretty rough.

Answer 6

You can put them in a lingerie (mesh) bag and put them on the gentle cycle in the washing machine....or you can put a small amount of laundry detergent in the sink and wash them that way.

To reshape....just shape the bra back into normal bra shape and let it dry.

Answer 7

Hand washing means hand washing. Put it in a bowl of soapy water and just clean it. Re-shaping is that so you don't lose the cup shape, just make sure when you wash it you dont squash it or damage any underwire or padding it might have.

Answer 8

Use Woolite or un-scented detergent... cool water in the sink and wash it by hand. After, rinse it with cool water and air-dry it on a towel. Re-shape, make sure it's not all twisted. Good luck.

Answer 9

I bought a bra bag at target....put my bras in them and wash on delicate/hand wash, tumble on low....done

Answer 10

well I usually fill my sink wit really hott water and whatever detergent you use and let it soak.....swish it around a bit and stuff....

it works well....
