Boody bra in the wash and everyday use
Short answer: A Boody bra is best washed gently and according to the care label in the bra itself, and it is more comfortable for everyday use if you rotate between several. Here is simple advice on washing, drying and fit, so your Boody bra stays comfortable.
What to know about a soft bra
A soft bra without underwire is popular for everyday wear, because it does not press and can be worn all day. It also makes demands on fit, since it has no stiff cup to hold the shape. A Boody bra must therefore fit around the ribcage and over the shoulders so it stays in place.
Read the care label
The most important rule is to follow the label in your own bra, because instructions can vary between models. The label tells you which temperature suits it and whether a tumble dryer is allowed. If you are unsure how a bra copes with washing, choose the gentlest programme.
Washing without wearing out the fabric
Wash the bra at a low temperature on a gentle programme, preferably in a wash bag, so it does not catch on other items. Close the hooks before it goes in the machine. Look at Boody if you want to compare models and read their washing instructions.
Drying without heat
Hang the bra to dry instead of using a tumble dryer if the label recommends it, because heat can wear the elastic. Do not leave it in direct sun or on a radiator. Shape the cups with your hands while it is damp so it dries in a good shape.
Daily use and rotation
If you have several bras, switch between them so the elastic can rest and the fabric is not worn the same every day. Take it off when you come home if you want to relax. It is a small habit that makes the bra last longer and the day easier.
Size and fit in the wash
After many washes a bra can feel different if the elastic goes slack. Check that the underband still lies flat against the skin and the straps do not slip. Try adjusting the straps, and if it no longer fits well, it is time for a new one.
A Boody bra for everyday and leisure
For everyday wear a soft bra can be used under a T-shirt, blouse and knitwear, and it is comfortable at home too. If you want to compare with other brands, take a look at JBS. For exercise many choose a bra with firmer support, so try things out.
Matching underwear in the set
Many combine a bra with a pair of knickers in the same fabric, so the set feels alike. Look at bamboo panties, for example, if you want to find pairs that suit the bra. Wash them together so they wear evenly, but always follow each individual care label.
