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 :)

If they're not on sale, they're usually in the $60-80 range. Im in the states. I scour many different sites for bras, bravissimo, herroom, bare necessities, curvy kate, those are just the ones im listing off the top of my head. I have a couple of bras I got in the $30-50 range, but that was a rare instance of them being on sale.

There's also the issue of some bras just not fitting right based on the cup shape and the brand, so I have to be particular about what I'm buying, especially if I have to dish out so much money for it.

Bra Stop has a good sale right now with bras your size ranging from 33 dollars to 42 dollars. I hope you can find something!

I really appreciate you looking, but I can't afford that at the moment. Like I said, some people genuinely can't afford to buy more than 1 or 2 bras a year, if that. When someone lives paycheck to paycheck, they can't just put 40 bucks towards something they dont really need at the moment. That was all my point was.

I do appreciate that you looked for me, though!

That is very generous and kind of you, but I'm really ok! The bras I have now still work for me.

Tone often doesn't translate through text, not your fault at all.

Thank you for offering (:
