Wash. Wear. Care. Repeat.

Your bras work hard—let’s show them a little love.

From first wear to final rinse, taking care of your lingerie helps it look better, feel better, and last longer. On this page, you’ll find our expert tips and links to more detailed information on how to get the most out of your bras.

From putting on your bra properly, adjusting the fit at home, washing an underwire bra, and knowing when it’s time to replace your favourites. Whether you’re new to a good fit or building a bra-drobe that works as hard as you do, we’ve got you (and your bras) covered.

Washing Tips

Yes! You can machine wash* most bras!
1. Start with a zippered mesh bag

2. Clasp the hooks on your bra and fold your wires together

3. Secure the bag and wash in cool or cold water

4. Hang to dry

Care & Repair Tips

Regularly inspect your bras and repair any damage before it becomes a larger issue. 
 

  • Small holes in lace or embroidery can be repaired by hand stitching with a needle and thread.

  • Loose stitching around the underwire is best done by a sewing machine.

Replacing Your Bra

Over time, even the best bras lose their elasticity. You might notice the band stretching out, elastane fibres starting to fray (like an old swimsuit!), or signs of wear like holes, tears, or popped, or broken, underwires.
 

If your bra no longer fits, or can’t be repaired, it’s time for a replacement — because you deserve to have a good fit.
