Don't machine wash/tumble dry/drip dry/dry on heat - how on earth do I wash it?

I would still put it in the machine, but maybe in one of those net bags you can get to stop it getting snagged/bashed about.

I would then dry it on an airer, defo not in the tumble dryer.

I would handwash the bra, squeeze it out lightly with your hands, then roll it up in a towel - the towel should soak up the excess moisture.

I would then put on the the straps over the top of a coathanger and put in the airing cupboard (assuming you have one)?

handwash and hang above the radiator

or, be like me and bung in the washer as per normal

Does your machine have a "handwash" cycle (very gentle and cool)? If so, put your bra in one of those net laundry bags and put it through that.

handwash using mild detergent, like the Ecover one

it IS worth it, machine washing bras just bends the wires out of shape. I've handwashed my R & P bras (they're fab, aren't they?) and they've lasted years.

Would definitely hand wash it. Lay it flat on a thick towel on an airer type rack to dry it...change towel when it gets wet though or it won't dry.

the last ones I got from there were about 70 quid each and are going nowhere near a machine!

I love the Prima Donna range they stock and it's def worth the price (and the faff)
