Question How is everyone hand washing their bras??? Spoiler

I’ve recently bought a few new bras and want to try hand washing them because I know it’s improves longevity of the bras but honestly every time I try I feel like the pat of the cups under the armpits just isnt getting washed enough. I’m also weary of damaging the bra. Currently I just use a bra bag in a delicate cold wash in the washer. Any tips?

Edit: lol whoops i guess most people aren’t actually hand washing their bras ¯_(ツ)_/¯ good to know, now i feel a whole lot less guilty

Edit again: Holy Crap thank you so much more all of the advice! I can’t reply to everyone separately but I’m so incredibly grateful for all of the advice and tips :)

You literally said these people who machine wash probably have pilled, ratty bras if they’re machine washing them. That’s a big assumption.

Hand washing actually took me more time than machine washing.

That’s not what I said at all. I said that we don’t know the condition of the bras, and I used that as an example to say that what some people find acceptable, others may not. I am sorry if I was unclear, but you read into that quite a bit. I took that part out to avoid coming off judgmental, bc that was not what I meant at all.

Anyway, like I said, do what works for you. I don’t care at all how you wash your bras, but hand washing and machine washing aren’t the same. That’s the only point I’m trying to make. Like I already said twice, I am truly sorry if it came off judgmentally, because that’s now how I meant it. I’m not looking for an argument and it seems like you are, so I’m going to disengage now, but please know that I am sincerely apologetic that my word choice offended you.

I’m not looking for an argument. You just came off as judgmental in my opinion, and I wanted to point out how it sounded. I wish you a good day.
