Reddit mentions of Woolite Bra Wash Bag

Hey there,

Just wanted to say that I used to wash my bras by hand but lately have been using another method since it saves me time and also maintains the integrity of my bras. What I do is buy a bra bag. The important thing is not to buy a "garment" bag but rather this. It helps a lot with keeping the shape of the bras. I wash my bras in my washing machine in the "Gentle" cycle and make sure they're only being washed with other delicate clothing. I don't overwhelm the machine with any other heavier pieces of clothes. I'll use whichever detergent I have on hand. Once the bras are finished washing, I take them out from the bag and let them air dry. This method lets me get the agitation that I need to remove the deodorant build up and makes the bras feel a hell of a lot cleaner. Air drying allows them to keep their good shape!

Let me know if you try this and how it works out for you.

Every two weeks (same as my regular laundry) but I have six bras that I cycle through, not counting sports bras which I wash after every wear. However, now that I know my "true" size, I'll be slowly phasing out the poorly fitted ones for better ones, so who knows how much longer I'll have six bras to cycle through.

I machine wash mine on the delicate cycle in one of those special bra bags and hang-dry from a Japanese laundry clip thingy. Yeah, I know, I'm good with names.

Hi! I know you've gotten a lot of great replies but I figured one more couldn't hurt.

I soak my things (undies and bras) in a plastic tub I got at Bed, Bath, & Beyond with cool water and a little laundry detergent. If I'm in a hurry, I throw my bras in a bra bag similar to this and toss it in the laundry. I think I got mine at The Container Store. I always clip/hook my bras when I wash them because I found otherwise, the hooks can get caught on lace. I have also washed delicates in pillow cases before (throw lacey dress, bras, undies, whatever in pillow case, knot it shut, and toss in wash), but I prefer the bra bag because it's more structured.

I don't think (I hope!) your roommates will mind you washing your bras, especially since you're not taking up a sink. Some dorm laundry rooms also have sinks, so you could potentially wash them down there (maybe soak in your room and bring them downstairs to wash).

Here is a helpful article about bra washing and some specific lingerie washes.

I have used a salad spinner to help dry my bras. I'd recommend, if possible, laying them out to dry on your desk or dresser, just so that they're flat. Or if you have a drying rack--but I'd avoid hanging them.

Get a few of these. I've had them for years and I wash all of my bras on delicate with gentle detergent then hang dry. They last forever, until the elastic gets so old it doesn't behave properly anymore.

Not cheap, but hand washing is for chumps.
