I just hate it when my favorite bra gets messed up. I "lost" one recently to the washing machine, because hubby accidentally washed it with the jeans and it broke the plastic ring that holds the strap. *sigh* I tried to glue it, but me boob is too heavy and broke the ring again. _popupControl();
Just Ny Size are mkade with hooks in front
I don't do my bras in the shower but I give my jocks a pre rinse.
Not wearing a bra is not an option for me. Not at all.
I wash all mine in the washer but never dry them. I try to be pretty careful with mine too Joonie. I wear an odd size and have only found one style/brand that suits me. Their each!! So I'm real careful not to ruin them in the dryer.
Bodak..... that was good!
I have never worn a bra in the shower.
However, I wonder if the "bra in shower theory" would work for not losing my socks........?
I wear a bra allll the time, sometimes even to bed........I hate not wearing a bra.
Ladies, why do you torture yourselves trying to reach around your back and hook your bra? I have never done in that way in my life! My mom taught me from day one to put it around myself and do the hook in the front; once it is hooked, twist it around the right way and pull up the straps. Hoists 'em up there better that way, too, LOL.
Mine go in the washer, but hang to dry.
Gonna try this again...the site swallowed my post the first time.
Suzanne, my mom taught me that too, but it still hurts to twist it around when I have nerve pain in my arm. It's hubby's job to unhook it at the end of the day.
My bras are an unusual size so they are expensive (though not as expensive as Lovie's!) and difficult to find. And I only wear underwire because that's what's required to defy gravity for me. I used to hand wash them in the sink and put them on a rack to air dry. However every time I did, I would end up with a couple of bras where the underwire poked through the material, and once it's done that, it's no good anymore. I still don't understand how it would happen, but no matter how careful I was, I would always lose a couple and I simply couldn't afford to.
OK, so here's the embarassing part. Now I own about 20 bras, and I keep them on two belt hanger hooks in my closet--you know the rubber covered metal rings, about 5" in diameter, open at one end and attached to hanger top at the other. I keep the ones I've just worn on one hook and the ones I haven't worn recently on the other, so I can "rotate" and not wear the same one within a couple of weeks. And I don't wash them. Ever. I just let them air out for a couple of weeks between wearings. I know that may sound, um, disgusting, but I always wear them with a little cornstarch powder, so they don't get sweaty, only a little powdery, and they don't smell.
So joonie, to answer your question, no I don't shower with my bras, but I am just as strange as you. I can sometimes wear mine more than once without washing; but mine get sweaty. If I'm outside for long like at a ball tournament (watching only) or working in the yard; there's no way I can go without washing! I'll admit to dusting one with a little powder and wearing one if nessesary though.
K~Can we get them men out of here? I'm sure you've learned far more than you wanted to about this subject by now.
I have a hand wash cycle on my washing machine of which
I just love. I do clasp the hooks as not to get snagged on each other.
Never thought of wearing them in the shower though.
Can you believe that? I couldn't find a smiley shower.
I just wash mine in the sink and air dry. That's a great idea to clasp the hooks so they don't get hooked on other things. I'll have to do that.
I use to wash mine seperate from everything but I've gotten to where I do wash them with other things just pull them out before putting the other things in the dryer. They do get hooked on lots of stuff. I'll be using your tip.
They have these laundry bags, come in different sizes, made of netting-type fabric, with a zipper. Put your bras in 'em and toss into washer, they don't get as messed up. Bodak, this may work for your delicates too.
I also put mine on like Innerglow & Suzanne does. But if I am having problems out of my arms and/or shoulders... I get hubby to put my bra on for me. Most times I only put a bra on if I am going out or if someone is coming over.
OK Suzanne- ditto ditto and ditto!I just put on my bras without ever undoing the clasp, which I guess probably stretches them out... but then again I measure at 29i around the ribcage and wear a 34i, I am Thumbelina reincarnated... I wash them with the rest of my clothes too because I am a lazy lingerie abuser! Those ones with clasps in the front really annoy my breastbone...
Never heard of wearing a bra in the shower, do you take it off to let it dry?
Front clasp - they come undone on me! I gave up on them, I don't know what I do wrong LOL.
Prior to hubby being banned from all dr. visits (because he is NO HELP, and you will see why!), I was having to hold my daughter and fill out all the paperwork and talk to the receptionist while he looked at the waiting room artwork. During all that, somehow my front clasp bra came undone. So after I did all that stuff, I took my daughter over to him and told him to watch her while I went to the bathroom to fix it. He said, "It doesn't matter. Can't you just wait?"
Wait for what?????

He is waiting for you to boob-moon everyone!
I think men in general would prefer a race of braless women (guys, feel free to confirm or deny)... You just mention the word Bra with men in the room and they will all
get quiet , I think waiting for the word boob to follow.
Oh a braless race to which one of us give ourselves black & blue eyes? Maybe a broken nose! And of course... there is the giving yourself a concussion or knocking yourself out!
Oh and what if you happened to do ALL the above!LOL! WOW! I love this talk! Its funny. Wow, I guess I abuse my bras...but I hate them, they hurt my shoulders and I have ezema and so its horrible! So I just wear it when I have to! I hate them. But my hubby loves my seventies freedom of no bra at home...sometimes in public too!...ssshhhh

It's kinda funny, but a man invented the bra.
Since I started doing my aquatic PT, I always go to the pool with my bathing suit on under sweatpants and a shirt. When I'm done, I obviously take the wet suit off, but there's no way I can get my bra on when my skin is damp and I'm exhausted from PT, so I just put my shirt and pants back on with no bra or underwear, and slink out to my car as inconspicuously as possible. It was easier in the winter cuz at least I had my jacket to cover me, but with the warmer weather, I'm just...out there.hmmmm
a man invented the bra.. ithink it was originally a double barrell
catapult. then adapted by women...
Oh but a woman can tell if your looking! BELIEVE me. No guy is that sly...even if we can't see your eyes, your body language gives you way.LOL ShaDucky body lanquage...
Its more than a growing something...lollol growing something..
Personally I prefer a woman partly (scantly) clothed as against naked.
As a young lad I always had trouble releasing the over shoulder boulder holder clips untill I discovered side cutters.
Bodak2008-05-20 15:17:26lol! i gotta go, hubby just walked in and I wanna spend some time with him....lol...you'll probably have some fun with that one!lol dont want hubby taking your pc away ..

Yeah.... a man invented the bra so he did not have to look so FAR down, at the sagging boobers! If they are at least up higher on the chest... a man can always say he was not looking at them... but admiring how nice your shirt filled out now that the saggy boobers are where they are suppose to be.

That's funny!!
Most guys nowadays don't even bother to hide what they are looking at,
they just look , a full look or a small look they look.

Only way I've ever done mine since I began wearing them in 4th grade. Hate them with a passion and only wear them when I leave the house. As for wshing them i'm too lazy in the washer/dryer they go. But they are always hooked closed. never had a problem.
