What happens if you wash your bra in the washing machine?
The lifespan of a bra is about 3 months if you wear it every day (about 100 uses). As it deteriorates, its ability to correct the bust weakens, making it difficult to maintain a beautiful bust line.Therefore, even if there is no major change in appearance such as tearing, it may reach the end of its lifespan. If you wash a corrective bra with wires in a washing machine, it may cause wire distortion. This leads to "underwear wear and tear" and shortens the lifespan. Also, if you wash innerwear that is recommended to be washed by hand in a washing machine, It will deteriorate faster. We recommend that you wash your precious underwear by hand, as the wires may bend or come out from the seams, which can damage your skin.

The correct way to dry a bra that keeps its shape
When drying your bra, do not put it in the dryer as this may cause it to lose its shape.After washing, a bra contains moisture and is heavy, so if pressure is applied to either the left or right side, it will lose its shape.
