Quick answer
Hand wash your support wirefree bralette in cold water with a gentle detergent, then lay it flat to dry. Avoid the dryer and skip fabric softener to preserve its shape and support.
Why hand washing beats machine washing
The Support Wirefree Bralette is engineered to lift and sculpt without wires. That structure comes from the fabric and stitching, not metal. Machine washing can stretch the band, misshape the cups, and wear down the elastic over time. Hand washing gives you control and keeps the bralette’s shape intact for many more wears.
What to avoid: dryer, heat, and fabric softener
Heat is the enemy of elastic. The dryer can break down the spandex that gives the bralette its support, causing the band to lose its grip. Fabric softener coats the fibers and reduces moisture-wicking ability, so skip it even when hand washing. If you must machine wash, use a mesh bag and the delicate cycle, then still air dry.
Step-by-step washing guide
- Prep the bralette: Fasten any hooks and turn the bralette inside out. This protects the outer fabric and prevents snags. Check for stains and treat them before washing—don’t rub, just dab.
- Hand wash in cold water: Fill a basin with cold water and add a few drops of gentle detergent. Submerge the bralette and gently squeeze—never wring or twist. Let it soak for 5–10 minutes. Hot water can break down elastic, so always stick to cold.
- Rinse and press out water: Drain the soapy water and refill with cold water. Gently press the bralette to remove excess water—do not wring. Roll it in a clean towel to absorb moisture. Wringing distorts the shape; rolling in a towel is the safe way.
- Dry flat, never in the dryer: Lay the bralette flat on a dry towel, reshaping the cups and band. Keep it away from direct heat and sunlight. Let it air dry completely before wearing or storing. Hanging can stretch the band, so always dry flat.
