Quick Answer

To keep your spacer bra (like MISS LEJABY or GABY) in top shape, hand wash with a gentle detergent, air dry flat, and store it properly. Avoid the washing machine and dryer.

Why Spacer Bras Need Special Care

Spacer bras are made with a unique foam that's both lightweight and breathable. This material can lose its shape or get damaged if not handled carefully. The MISS LEJABY features a satin finish and an openwork elastic band, while the GABY uses French lace and a satin bow. Both require gentle treatment to preserve their structure and delicate details.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Many people toss their bras in the washing machine, but the agitation can crush the spacer foam and cause it to lose its shape. Also, avoid using fabric softener, as it can break down the elastic fibers and reduce the bra's lifespan. Never wring out a spacer bra to dry it.

Step-by-Step Spacer Bra Care Routine

  1. Step 1: Hand Wash with Cold Water: Fill a basin with cold water and add a small amount of mild lingerie detergent. Submerge your bra and gently swish it around. Avoid scrubbing or rubbing the fabric. Common mistake: using hot water can damage the spacer foam and elastic fibers.
  2. Step 2: Rinse Thoroughly: Drain the soapy water and refill the basin with clean cold water. Gently press the bra to remove soap residue. Repeat until all suds are gone. Checkpoint: leftover detergent can irritate skin and attract dirt.
  3. Step 3: Remove Excess Water Gently: Lay the bra flat on a clean, dry towel. Roll the towel up with the bra inside and press gently to absorb moisture. Do not wring or twist the bra. Common mistake: twisting the bra can permanently deform the spacer cups.
  4. Step 4: Air Dry Flat: Place the bra on a drying rack or a fresh towel, reshaping the cups to their original form. Keep it away from direct sunlight, radiators, or other heat sources. Checkpoint: hanging the bra by the straps can stretch them out over time.
  5. Step 5: Store Properly: Store your spacer bras flat in a drawer, or hang them by the center gore (the fabric between the cups). Avoid folding the cups or stacking heavy items on top. Common mistake: storing bras with cups folded inward can cause permanent creases in the spacer foam.

Product-Specific Care Notes

  • MISS LEJABY: The MISS LEJABY has a satin finish and a matte strap with an openwork elastic band. The satin finish can be sensitive to friction, so gentle hand washing is essential to avoid snagging or dulling the fabric.
