Learn how to wash, dry, and store your Supima Cotton Lift Up Bra Duo to keep the lift, softness, and fit intact for longer.
Quick answer
To extend the life of your Supima Cotton Lift Up Bra Duo, hand wash in cold water, air dry flat, and store without folding the cups. Avoid fabric softener and high heat.
Why cotton bras need special care
Supima® cotton is a premium natural fiber known for its softness and durability, but it behaves differently from synthetics. Cotton can shrink, lose shape, or pill if exposed to heat or aggressive washing. The Lift Up Bra also has light padding and elastic that benefit from gentler handling. A few small habits can keep the duo set feeling like new for many wears.
What not to do
Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and high-heat drying. Bleach weakens cotton fibers, softener coats the fabric and reduces breathability, and heat can shrink the bra or break down elastic. Also skip wringing or twisting the bra to remove water—this distorts the cup shape and padding.
Diagnosis: common wear issues and how to fix them
- Symptom: Bra band feels tighter or cups look wrinkled after washing: Likely cause: Machine washing on hot or drying on high heat. Cotton shrinks and elastic degrades with heat. Corrective action: Switch to hand washing in cold water and air drying flat. If the bra is still damp, reshape the cups gently with your hands. Check the care label inside the bra band for temperature symbols.
- Symptom: Fabric looks fuzzy or pilled on the cups or straps: Likely cause: Friction from washing with zippers, hooks, or rough fabrics. Cotton pills when rubbed against abrasive items. Corrective action: Wash bras separately or inside a mesh lingerie bag. Use a fabric shaver gently on pills if needed. Close all hooks before washing to prevent snagging.
- Symptom: Bra loses lift or padding feels lumpy: Likely cause: Twisting or wringing the bra to dry, or machine spinning on high. The padding can shift or crease. Corrective action: Press water out gently with a towel, then lay flat to dry. Never twist or wring. If padding is already lumpy, try smoothing it while damp. If lumps persist after air drying, the padding may be permanently damaged. Consider replacing the bra.
