Just the way you take extra care of your clothes you must take care of your innerwear too (especially your bras). Today I am going to share with you some of the important tips to keep in your mind while handling and storing your bras. I hope the below-mentioned tips will be helpful.
1. Avoid securing your bra in the second or third hooks- It is best to secure the bra in the first hook/the one which is closest to the other side. This is so because securing the bra in the second or the third hook stretches it thus compromising on the original shape of the bra. But when you secure the bra in the first hook you are retaining its shape by keeping it in its natural shape.

2. Avoid wearing a bra while sleeping- Several studies have proved that sleeping without clothes/naked at night helps in detoxifying the skin while letting the body breathe well. Sleeping with a bra on at night is not only uncomfortable but it also hinders your blood flow. The stitching of the bra also gets affected. Thus it is better to sleep without a bra on.

3. Hand wash your bras- If you are used to washing your bras in the washing machine then you should immediately stop doing it. Washing bras in the washing machine can hamper the shape and life of them. It is always best to hand wash your bras. The best way is to soak your bras in a liquid detergent and warm water for 20-25 minutes. You can also add a few drops of antiseptic liquid too to the soaking water. After the bras have soaked, gently rub and rinse them under flowing water.
