Quick Answer

Hand wash your mesh bralette in cool water with a gentle detergent, then lay it flat to dry. Avoid wringing, bleach, and the dryer to keep the mesh and adjustable straps in shape.

Why Mesh Needs Special Care

Mesh bralettes are made from lightweight, breathable fabric that can snag or stretch if treated roughly. The sheer material and adjustable straps need a gentler approach than regular bras. A little care goes a long way in preserving the barely-there feel and support.

Step-by-Step Mesh Bralette Care

  1. Step 1: Hand Wash in Cool Water: Fill a basin with cool water and add a small amount of gentle lingerie detergent. Submerge the bralette and gently swish it for a few minutes. Do not scrub or twist the fabric. Common mistake: using hot water or regular detergent can weaken the mesh fibers.
  2. Step 2: Rinse Thoroughly: Drain the soapy water and refill with cool water. Swish the bralette to remove all detergent residue. Repeat if needed until the water runs clear. Leftover detergent can irritate skin and make the mesh feel stiff.
  3. Step 3: Remove Excess Water Gently: Press the bralette between two clean, dry towels to absorb moisture. Do not wring or twist the fabric, as this can distort the mesh and straps. Wringing is the fastest way to stretch out the shape and loosen the adjustable hardware.
  4. Step 4: Lay Flat to Dry: Place the bralette on a drying rack or a clean towel, reshaping it to its original form. Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Never put it in the dryer. A dryer can melt or shrink the synthetic mesh fibers and damage the removable cookies.
  5. Step 5: Store Flat or Folded: Once completely dry, store the bralette flat in a drawer or folded gently. Avoid hanging it by the straps, as the weight can stretch them over time. Hanging a mesh bralette can cause permanent strap elongation and loss of support.
