3. Fasten your bra at the loosest hook, so that you can tighten it as it ages and the elastic starts to wear. Never over wear your bra or it will lose its elasticity and form -- just like shoes. It's recommended to alternate between two bras in a week, washing after three to four uses.
4. Gently scoop the full weight of your breasts into the cup.
5. For the most comfortable fit, adjust the bra straps. They shouldn't dig into or slip off of your shoulders. Care for your
bras
Care for your bras
To make your bras last longer, hand-wash them in cold water using a gentle detergent and leave them to air-dry. If you machine-wash
your bras, use a lingerie bag and the delicate cycle.
