Not washing frequently enough can lead to stains and persistent odors on the bra — as well as skin irritation, rashes or local skin infections from yeast or bacteria. The more often you wash your bra, though, the higher the stress you place on the fabric. The cups tend to lose their shape and the straps lose their elasticity, unless you: Fasten the strap before washing, so it won’t get tangled or snag other clothes.
Place the bra in a mesh laundry bag, so it won’t get twisted around other clothes.
Use your laundry machine’s most gentle cycle with the coolest water to prevent pilling and preserve elasticity.
