When Should You Replace Your Bras?
Recognizing the signs of wear to maintain the best shaping support.
Do you know the right time to replace your bra?
If the underwire feels bent, the cups look dented, or the fit isn’t as snug as when you first wore it, your bra may have already reached the end of its life.Even if it still seems wearable, continuing to use a worn-out bra means you’re no longer getting the full shaping support BRADELIS is designed to deliver.
How Long Does a Bra Last?
A BRADELIS bra is designed to last for about 90 wears—or roughly three months of daily use.
It might not look worn out, and it may still feel wearable, but continuing to use a bra beyond this point can lead to unnoticed deterioration, making it harder to maintain its original shaping support.
Lingerie is a consumable item. To ensure you’re getting the full sculpting benefits—and to keep your bust line in ideal condition—it’s important to know when to let go and treat yourself to a fresh, supportive new bra.
4 Signs You Need A New Bra
With bras being a functional apparel, it is important that we keep our bras in shape in order to maintain their breast-shaping functions.
Here are some key points on when you should replace your old bras.
CHECK 1 Distorted Underwires
If your wires are bent and have a gap when you fold the cups, this means that your bra is no longer able to provide the correct support and shape your breasts need. More to that, when wires are distorted, they may easily poke through the fabric and cause injuries. It is highly recommended that you replace your old bra when your bra becomes like this:
CHECK 2 Misshaped Cups
The cups of the bra play an important role in providing support and correct shape. If the cups are misshaped they can no longer hold your breasts properly and give you a round bust shape. When your cups have flatten like this below, your bust shape will also get distorted.
CHECK 3 Loose Band
The back band helps to support your back and holds the bust in place. When the fabric becomes thin and wrinkly, the back becomes weak and is unable to stabilize the bra in the correct position.
CHECK 4 Loose Straps
When your shoulder straps feel loose and do not fit properly, this is the sign that the straps have lost their elasticity and supportive functions. The major function for shoulder straps is that they help hold and lift up the weight of your breasts. If your breasts are not supported, it easily causes sagging as the bra cannot be worn in the correct position.
In general, the lifespan of a bra is around 3 months assuming you wear it everyday. If you would like to extend its usage, we recommend that you wash and store your delicate lingerie in a proper way. It is best to hand wash your delicate items with lingerie detergent and store them in a spacious drawer to avoid distorting or misshaping.
