Bras require special handling. If not properly cared for, the seeds will pop out, the texture will fade, and the hooks will bend. To keep your bra functional and presentable for as long as possible, learn how to store it.
Rules for storing underwear
The main postulate: you should not randomly put bras in the same drawer with other underwear. This causes the cups to wrinkle and the lace to spoil. Creases that arise due to careless handling not only spoil the appearance of the product, but can also harm women’s health. Well, unfastened bras can cause puffs on neighboring objects.
Other rules and life hacks that, if followed, will help keep your bras looking presentable:
- Allocate a separate place for busts. This could be a dresser drawer or a shelf in a closet. Storage on hangers is acceptable, but only on condition that the rest of the items in the wardrobe do not come into close contact with the hanging underwear.
- Fold 2 bras so that the cups of the first do not completely fit into the cups of the second. The method saves space, helps to maintain the shape of things, but at the same time, taking out the bra does not lead to disruption of order.
- Fasten the hooks. This will protect them from bending, and in this state they will not be able to damage other things.
- Sort your bras. Try to ensure that products of the same shade do not come into contact with models of other tones. In this regard, it is especially important to protect white laundry. You should also pay attention to decorative elements. The openwork finish means that the bust with it should be stored in a separate box or compartment.
- Don't clutter your underwear area. Do not store worn, torn, faded or small bras. Get rid of them as soon as you notice a defect. Then you won’t have to constantly audit the contents of the drawers and sacrifice their internal space for the sake of useless things.
- Don't be afraid to be gentle and meticulous with your personal underwear. Bras actually require these qualities. An attentive housewife's bras last longer.
- Follow storage rules not only at home. A vacation or business trip is not a reason to break routine and put things at risk.
Important! Bras are rarely washed with softeners and conditioners, but they should also smell nice. The dilemma will be resolved by a sachet or bottle of almost completely used perfume (a few drops should remain at the bottom, no more). Remove the lid from it and put it in the same drawer as your underwear.
Ways to store bras
When choosing a method, consider the presence of seals, the style and weight of the structure. If the cups of a particular bra are connected to each other by a thin bridge, then you should not fold it in half or hang it. Well, very large tall cups require a separate rectangular box.
How to put it in a box
Basic rule: Frequently used items should be placed as close to the front as possible. Rarely worn models are sent to the far corner, and expensive products are sent to the opposite end. You not only need to allocate a separate space for it, but also purchase individual packaging. If this is not possible, store-bought laundry boxes will do.
Important! If you have problems organizing the internal space of the drawer and if you have a large number of bras, it makes sense to buy a dividing tape.
How to hang in a closet
Hangers upholstered in fabric are best suited for this purpose. They will not damage the delicate fabric of the laundry and will not cause puffs. Well, absolutely Expensive products should be additionally protected with a clothing cover.
If the closet space does not allow you to hang each bra on a separate hanger, you can remove the hooks from several hangers and put them on the bottom bar of 1 hanger. The result will be a design with which a whole collection of sconces will be stored in proper form.
Important! This placement method is not suitable for heavy bras because the bust is hung on a hook by the strap. It will stretch under the weight of the bra.
In clothing boxes
Some of them immediately come with a demarcated internal space, others will have to be worked on.The process is quite simple: first, measure the length and width of the box, and then estimate how many compartments you can install, taking into account the fact that you need to allocate about 30 cm for each bra (this is the length).
The final step is cutting out the partitions from the box lid, placing them and fixing them.
In special organizers
They look like boxes with segmented internal space. Due to the partitions in the organizer, the busts do not touch each other and there is no external pressure on them. The solution is also interesting because it allows you to avoid disruption when getting a specific bra.
Some manufacturers offer sets of them rather than individual organizers. This option is convenient for the following reasons:
- all boxes have the same height (the quality will be of interest to those who store intimate items in low chest drawers);
- for each style of bust there is a separate drawer, taking into account the design features;
- Each element of the set matches the other in color and design.
In clothing cases
Luxury linen is placed on hangers and packed in a cover on top. Compact cases are suitable for wrapping busts that should not come into contact with other models in the drawer.
