How to keep bras sparkly white?

[balzamico]

Although I separate out darks, brights and whites and wash my bras in a mesh bag, they seem to go grey very quickly.
I've just bought two lovely new white ones and am wondering if I need to hand wash- often/ less often?

I rarely buy white ones. Flesh/nude ones are better for under light clothing

I stopped buying white bras a long time ago for this reason and because they're not actually good to wear underanything, even white.

I find nude bras go grey too but pale pink makes a good substitute when you might otherwise wear a nude one.

Do you add fabric softener?

If so, It can make whites go grey over time, also try and dry them in bright sunlight (ha!) if you can as this definitely helps.

I've been wearing nude for a long time but as a pp says they also go tired and grey plus I think a sparkly white strap looks lovely in the summer!
As I've a big cup size a new bra is a big of an investment so I can't be buying a fresh white one too often!

I do mine in a handwash cycle in the machine on their own. Have a fresh one daily and do a bra wash weekly.
