Learn how to properly wash and dry your Flexi-Size Bra to maintain its shape, comfort, and elasticity. Simple steps for longer wear.
Quick answer
To extend the life of your Flexi-Size Bra, hand wash in cool water with a gentle detergent and lay it flat to air dry. Avoid the washing machine and dryer.
Why proper care matters
Your Flexi-Size Bra is designed with soft, stretchy fabric and a non-wired structure for all-day comfort. Harsh washing or high heat can break down the elastic fibers and distort the fit, shortening the bra's usable life.
Taking a few extra minutes to care for it correctly means you get consistent support and a comfortable fit for many more wears.
Trade-off: machine washing vs. hand washing
While some bras survive a gentle machine cycle, the Flexi-Size Bra's adjustable straps and delicate fabric are best served by hand washing. Machine washing can cause straps to tangle, fabric to pill, and the customisable neckline to lose its shape.
Hand washing is quick and uses less water, making it the gentler and more eco-friendly choice.
Step-by-step care routine
- Prepare the wash: Fill a basin or sink with cool or lukewarm water and add a small amount of mild detergent (avoid fabric softener and bleach). Hot water can damage elastic fibers, so always use cool water.
- Hand wash gently: Submerge the bra and gently squeeze the water through the fabric. Do not rub or wring. Focus on the underarm and back areas where sweat and oils collect. Rubbing or wringing can stretch the fabric and alter the fit.
- Rinse thoroughly: Drain the soapy water and refill with clean cool water. Gently squeeze until all detergent is removed. Repeat if needed. Leftover detergent can irritate skin and attract dirt.
- Remove excess water: Press the bra gently between two clean, dry towels. Do not twist or wring. Roll the towel with the bra inside to absorb moisture. Twisting can damage the straps and the bra's structure.
- Dry flat, away from heat: Lay the bra flat on a drying rack or a clean towel in a well-ventilated area. Reshape the cups and straps. Do not hang by the straps or use a dryer. Hanging by straps can stretch them out; direct heat (sun, radiator, dryer) degrades elastic.
