You have just received and worn your Titits: small breasted bra for the first time and you are wondering “so should I put this precious lingerie in my washing machine?
Let's unravel the mystery right now...
Why take care of your lingerie?
Beyond the punchlines that our moms liked to tell us “you have to take care of your business more, you know…”
The world of fashion and the textile industry have tended in recent years to push you to buy more and more new collections. So it's neither good for your wallet, nor good for the people working on it, and even less good for our little planet.
At Titits we want to produce responsibly by creating good quality models that resist over time!
You also have a role to play in this mission, by reading this article and following these tips you will succeed in keeping your Titits bra for a very very very long time…
How to wash your Titits bra?
Here are our top 6 tips for washing your lingerie,
1.Wash on a cold, gentle cycle
Yes I know.... You thought I was going to tell you to hand wash your bras. Besides, if you want to know more about washing your Titts by hand, it's here.
Although it is ideal for your lingerie, sometimes we are a little in a rush and in a hurry so the washing machine can be an alternative. On the other hand, cold, nothing but cold!
Because prolonged exposure to hot water will weaken the elastic of your bra, which will seriously change the size and support of your bra.
2.Fix the clasps before putting it in the washing machine.
Closing your bra's clasps prevents it from being pulled and twisted all over the place. It also prevents other clothes you have in the drum from getting caught, snagged and torn.
Save your little top from the sharp clasps of your bra!
3.Use a lingerie bag (lingerie pouch), plus ours are so cute!
Not only do lingerie bags keep your bras from stretching during the spin cycle, they also protect your bra's most delicate fabrics from other clothes in the drum.
It's okay, we all mixed up at one point, realizing afterwards that it wasn't a good idea...
If you want your bras to keep their shape and stay soft and supportive, use a pouch.
4. Be demanding like a Queen with your laundry.
There are two ingredients in laundry detergent that your bra is seriously allergic to: bleach and alcohol. These two ingredients will break down the lycra, spandex, and elastane fibers in your bra.
Plus, they'll fade out the colors and patterns you love so much.
Opt for a natural and gentle detergent or homemade . So beware if you see this type of mention "attacks stubborn stains" because your bra may not appreciate the experience too much.
5. Bye bye dryer.
Seriously, we need to cut ties. Just as hot water breaks down the elastic in a bra, the heat from your dryer will do the same.
Tumble dryers can also be quite harmful to your bra underwire, making it more prone to cracking or breaking. If that wasn't enough to convince you, the heat from your torture machine can directly shrink your bra.
So it's clear and clean, ciao!
6. Little bonus tip:
Do not wear the same bra every day, good even if you are super in love with your bra and beyond hygiene issues.
Give him time to breathe, breathe and rest. Every day without wearing it and one more day to wear it in the future, moreover the bra will return to its natural shape which is designed for your small breasts.
The ideal being to leave 24/48h without.
Afterwards, if you are very fond of your Titis, you can have several in your drawers to be quiet.
Should you put a bra in the dryer?
We want to tell you again! It's NO, NO and again NO.
Don't insist, it's like having one drink too many in the evening… you risk bitterly regretting the experience.
Is it the same for a cotton bra? Lace? bralette?
Different types of bras yes, but all equal in care.
This means you can wash all your bras at the same time - close the clasps and put two or three in the same bag!
Whatever you do, be sure to give your cotton bras, bralettes, and lace bras the same love and attention. They deserve it and it will avoid dramas!
To conclude: Take good care of your lingerie
Because you want a bra that keeps its shape, its support and its beautiful color. Because you don't necessarily want to buy your bras every month and above all, but also because you want to have clean lingerie to wear, because it smells good and that's the basis... here's what you need to remember:
