So, how do you care for your Emmie Bra?
- Using mild detergent, wash your in cold water on a gentle cycle.
- If you have a mesh lingerie bag, use it. This helps avoid potential snagging, twisting and tangling with other clothing in the same wash cycle. And try not to wash your bras along with heavy items, such as towels or jeans.
- To dry: lay flat or line dry.
- If excess water needs to be removed from your bra, fold and gently press with a towel before putting the bra out to dry.
- At all costs, avoid the dryer. The heat will break down the spandex and elastic on the bras.
Of course, hand washing is another method to ensure your bra will keep shape and elasticity after each wear.
