Bra Care Guide

At Empreva Lingerie, our mission is to empower you to feel confident and incredible every day. We know that when you find beautifully supportive lingerie that makes you feel amazing, you want it to stay that way for as long as possible! It’s easy to toss bras into the washing machine with everything else, but this can actually shorten their lifespan. That’s why we’re here to share expert tips on how to care for your lingerie so you can keep loving and wearing them for longer!

How do I wash my bra without damaging it?

We always recommend hand-washing your lingerie. It’s simpler than you think, we promise! To keep your bras in their best condition, soak them in cool water with a gentle detergent, then softly massage the fabric, focusing on areas like the band and underarms. Finally, rinse thoroughly in clean, cool water, and enjoy fresher, longer-lasting lingerie. 💕

How often do I need to wash my bra?

We recommend washing your bras every one to two weeks to keep them fresh and in great condition - but there’s no strict rule! Think about how often you rotate your bras and if you sweat easily. If you’re sweating more you may need to wash them more frequently. Equally, if you have a large collection of bras to rotate, each bra gets less wear, so you can go a little longer between washes. It’s all about finding the right balance for you!

How do I dry my bras?

When drying your bras, avoid direct heat sources like tumble dryers or radiators, as they can weaken the fabric and stretch out the elastic. Instead, let your bras air dry naturally to maintain their shape and support. Heat from a dryer can cause lasting damage and impact the fit, so patience is key! They may take a day or two to dry fully, so having a few extras in rotation ensures you’re never without your favourite fit.
