hand wash but my bras are around £35 a pop so I do need to take care of them.

Ooh to have wee boobs to buy 3 for 2 at M&S!

Machine wash them on wool cycle in a net delicates bag. They seem to survive ok.

Yep, in a net bag on the machine's gentlest wash. A hand-wash once in a blue moon.

I have always just washed with everything else. Didn't know you weren't meant to

Hand wash.
Never put them in the machine, ever.

The maternity ones without underwires, I throw in with everything else.

My lovely underwired ones, I wash separately in the machine on the cold gentle cycle. I occasionally handwashed, but machine much more convenient. Didn't seem to damage them any, all were in good enough condition to be sold on ebay.

Machine wash on 30c in a net bag. No problems.

most of them machine wash (on handwash program in a net) others (thin formed cups) definately by hand as they loose shape if machine washed

Machine wash. In 30C programme with everything else. They seem okay so far, although the white ones do end up a bit grey eventually.
