Mesh Bra Care: Keep Your Defy Bra Looking New

Quick answer

To keep your Defy Bra Mesh looking new, hand wash with a gentle detergent, air dry flat, and store it without folding the cups.

How to care for your Defy Bra Mesh

1. Hand wash with cold water: Fill a basin with cool water and add a small amount of mild detergent. Submerge the bra and gently swish it — do not scrub or twist. Rinse with cool water until soap is gone. Hot water can weaken elastic fibers; always use cold.
2. Skip the washing machine and dryer: Machine washing and drying can snag mesh and break down elastic. If you must use a machine, place the bra in a mesh laundry bag and select the delicate cycle with cold water. Never put it in the dryer. Heat from a dryer is the fastest way to ruin the bra's fit and support.
3. Air dry flat on a towel: Lay the bra flat on a clean, dry towel. Gently reshape the cups and band. Let it air dry away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Do not hang by the straps — that can stretch them out. Drying flat preserves the shape of the cups and the band's elasticity.
4. Store without folding the cups: Fold the bra in half so the cups nest inside each other, or lay it flat in a drawer. Avoid crushing it under heavy items. This prevents creases and keeps the mesh smooth. Proper storage prevents permanent creases in the mesh fabric.
