How to Store Bras Properly: A Complete Guide
Share
Pro Tip: Always let bras air dry completely before storing to prevent moisture damage!
Step-by-Step Storage Guide
- Fasten the hooks: Prevent hooks from snatching other garments
- Stack cups together: Nest molded cups gently like Russian dolls
- Use drawer dividers: Maintain shape with compartmentalized storage
- Fold non-padded bras: Tuck straps behind for soft cup styles
- Separate by type: Keep sports bras in different section
DON'Ts of Bra Storage
- ❌ Never hang by straps (causes stretching)
- ❌ Avoid plastic bags (traps humidity)
- ❌ Don't overcrowd (preserves elasticity)
- ❌ No direct sunlight (fades colors)
Special Care for Delicate Bras
For lace or embroidered styles:
• Line drawer with acid-free tissue
• Use padded hangers if hanging
• Store separately from jewelry/zippers
Recommended Storage Solutions
- Vertical drawer organizers
- Breathable fabric boxes
- Adjustable lingerie hangers
- Anti-tarnish silver cloth bags
Proper storage can extend bra life by 2x! Rotate between 4-5 bras to reduce wear.
