9 basic tips to get the most out of your lingerie

Nothing can ruin a day faster than uncomfortable lingerie. Or worse a total wardrobe malfunction. Proper fit and care of your intimate wear can save time, money and discomfort in the long run. There are a few things to consider about your taking care of lingerie.

1. It’s ok to wear a Bra twice before you wash it but never wear the same Bra two days in a row.
2. Many reports show that 80% of women are wearing a Bra that is the wrong size. Make sure to go to a specialty shop to be professionally measured at least once a year. Wearing the wrong size not only can make you look heavier but makes your clothes not look as crisp.
3. You get what you pay for when it comes to a Bra. Cheap flimsy Bras that don’t fit properly also won’t provide much support.
4. Bras don’t last forever. The most a Bra will last is 12 months and that is only if they are hand washed air dried and rotated out often.
5. Hand wash in cold water using a mild detergent. Machine wash cold on the delicate cylce
6. For proper rotation it is best to have between 6-10 daily Bras and 2-3 special occasion Bras.
7. If there is any sign of wear such as missing eyelets or frayed straps replace the Bra as soon as possible.
8. When panties start to wear thin in the seat and crotch its time to replace them.
9. Buy in bulk. When Bras and panties go on sale buy enough Bras to wear for at least five days and panties for 12 days.

It all starts with buying quality pieces to begin with. Sacrificing comfort for cuteness is something that a plus size woman can’t afford when it comes to a Bra. It may be the perfect color, but if it’s not in the right size, you’re spilling out or bouncing everywhere then the money that you saved on this trip will be spent later when you have to replace your cute Bra after washing it 2-3 times.
