Caring for your Senior Bra
- Always wash your bra in cold water if possible. Heat will break down the elasticity in the bra.
- Hand wash or place in lingerie bag, Be as delicate as possible.
- Never bleach your bra. You may get the most detestable colors in the end.
- Hang dry; heat from a dryer will also break down the elasticity.
