Almost everyone is aware that bras do not need to be washed as often as panties. Because it’s a tiny “smell test” that lets us decide whether to wash bras or not. 😊 However, recent research shows that the situation may be more serious than we thought! 🤔 Experts underline that we should wash our bras after each use. We’ve researched and written about what can happen to you if you don’t wash your bras after each use. 😪 Here is the importance of washing your bras regularly…
First, let’s explain what we mean by “after each use” 👇🏻
Dermatologists often do not count a few hours of minimal sweating as “one full wear.” However, a few hours of heavy sweating can also be equivalent to wearing it several times. In addition, how oily your skin is and how intensely you sweat are also important. So we can say it’s over for you! 😊 Considering all these factors, you can find the most ideal bra washing frequency for yourself. Of course, you should not forget that you need to renew your bras regularly. Just like the panties!
When you don’t wash your bra enough, you invite bacteria.
Bacteria can easily grow in the area under your breast. Fungal infections too! When sweat and oil from the skin accumulate on your bra, an ideal environment for microbes is created. 😪
Bacteria can cause skin problems
Pimples are not specific to the face! A dirty bra can also cause acne around the chest and back. Of course, if you clean your skin regularly, you are less likely to get a serious infection from a dirty bra. 😊
Dirty bras make your clothes smell bad too
No matter how clean your clothes are, if you wear a dirty bra, you can say goodbye to these good smells. 😪 If your bra has a stubborn odor, you can try soaking it in vinegar water for a while. In addition, you should pay attention to the temperature at which you wash your bras. Cotton and synthetic bras need to be washed in warm water!
Sweat and deodorant can spoil the structure of your bra
If your bra has yellow streaks around the edges, it’s sweat, dirt, oil and lotions! There are several different ways to remove these stains. You can try gently scrubbing the stains using a stain remover and a toothbrush. White streaks may occur on darker colored bras. This is usually because of the salt in the sweat. If you’re seeing thin white lines on your bra, it’s time to wash your bra! 😊
