To wash my underwired bras in my washing machine, do you??

[Mspontipine]

Hi there - all of my bras are underwired. I have a sparkly new washing machine. The instructions dictate that I am NOT to wash said bras in said machine. Now I have been warned this before but have washed said bras in other machines (only 2 machines ever, one, second hand, had for 10 years and the second, had from new for nearly 13 years - just so you know I don't have the bodies of hundreds of wrecked machines strewn behind me!!) and have never had a problem but now I've just got new one and spent a small fortune(to me) on it I am reluctant to do it and have now built up a rather large pile of worn bras and have been wearing this last one for ages a wee while and I had my hair (on my head) cut in it so it's a bit furry and am dithering...

What would you do??

Our house was rented out before we moved back in about 5 years ago. Over the 5 years the washing machine became louder and louder in the rinse cycle until it came to ahead last November. It was so loud I thought thr machine would die. So I opened up the front part of the machine and drained the water and pulled the plug thingy and in there I found 2 bits of rusted wire. When I put them together it made a perfect "u" shape - probably a b cup. I only have one bra that is underwired and I wash that by hand so the tenants had washed their bras in the machine and the wire from one had circulated around over 5-6 years causing the horrid sound during the rinse cycle.

So, I wouldn't wash wired bras in the machine. Just soak them and wash by hand.
