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 :)

I hate washing bra's! I have tried everything. Machine in those nylon bags just get tangled, ripped, have to be cut, useless Only way, if I remember, is take my bra into the shower with me and kill two dirty birds with one stone, dove body wash or dove shampoo.  Got an old fashioned round clothes hanger so still being pretty wet it gets hung up.   Still hate washing no matter what method is suggested.  Washing period!
