Trouble in the form of a squeaking bra strikes you at the wrong moment. It could be a brand new model or an old, dearly loved bra that begins to creak unbearably, irritating everyone around, and first of all, the owner herself.
The bra squeaks, although this has never happened before
If underwear suddenly decides to “speak” to us, then we are looking for the reasons and sources of sound. What does creaking mean:
- Linen is washed by hand, without resorting to machine washing. Many ladies ignore the manufacturer's requirements written on the label and throw it into the drum with a clear conscience. As a result, the bones rust, become twisted and begin to rub against the fabric with force, producing a characteristic sound.
- Cheap new products, sewn without following technology, most often suffer from this defect. Low quality fabric and bones made from strange materials result in a nasty squeak.
- Drying on a radiator or in direct sunlight leads to damage to the metal in the bones. This also includes careful push-ups with twisting - it deforms the product, leading to friction.
Having dealt with the reasons, we move on to the direct fight against sounds.
It’s easier to throw away low-quality bras than to fight the problems that arise, but try, maybe you’ll be lucky.
What to do with a squeak
If the new thing suddenly creaks, then remember what you did wrong with it. Did you wash it in the machine? Dry it on a radiator? If the answer is negative, check the seams and quality of the fabric, take a closer look at the product.
An elementary way to spot a poorly sewn item is to look at the threads. Creeping seams, protruding ends of threads and crooked stitches clearly reveal the artisanal nature of the work.
A good way to get rid of squeaks – This is a fabric softener. Pour it over the seeds and dry without rinsing. The life hack helps for about 2-3 weeks, then the sound may return, or maybe not, but it’s worth a try! Some women share the secret that hair balm or rinse after washing with “Laska” helps.
Alternatively, carefully open the seams and remove the seeds. Ideally, they should have a flat surface. When they become deformed, become covered with rust and burrs, that’s when creaking appears. Look, maybe your bra will be saved by cleaning the underwires from plaque or paint. A knife or a hard or metal sponge helps a lot. After the procedure, return them to their place and carefully sew up the holes. Sometimes the bones are not returned to their place, they are simply thrown into the trash, but this is not a good idea; the original shape of the product is lost.
Universal instructions to never hear that nasty sound again:
- Handwash only.
- Use powders for delicate fabrics and conditioners.
- Do not wring out the bra.
- Dry on a line away from heating devices and sunlight.
- Do not overdry.
Now you are armed, and no creaking is scary!
Tricks to know when wearing a bra
In order for your favorite thing to please, and not pull your shoulders down, extinguishing your smile, we remember a few rules:
- Bras stretch over time, so if there is only one intimate item of clothing, its lifespan is no more than 4 months. Large size women have less time.
- When trying on a new thing, fasten it on the outer hooks; it should sit well in such a position that you can then fasten it tighter.
- The straps stretch most often, so they need to be adjusted after each wash and even in the middle of the day.
- For large breasts, choose wide straps; they distribute the load well and do not cut into the shoulders, leaving purple marks.
- If the belt rides up, loosen the straps.
- A well-fitted bra will never press anywhere. If your breasts fall out, marks remain, or a feeling of heaviness and discomfort appears while wearing, then reconsider your tactics for selecting underwear.
- To prevent the shape of the cups from becoming wrinkled, hang them on a hanger rather than stack them.
There is also often a need to hide the straps. How to do this easily and without traces? For sleeveless tops, it is recommended to fasten with a paper clip. The treacherous strap can be hidden by sewing a strip of fabric with a button to the inside of the blouse.
These are the tricks that will make our life much easier! We will no longer hear nasty sounds, and our bra will not cause any trouble.
