Hand washing your Victoria's Secrets bras can prolong their useful life. Machine washing, even if the bras are placed in a lingerie bag, can place extra stress on bras through the violent agitation during the washing and spin cycles. Victoria's Secret recommends hand washing only for the bras they sell. Hand washing may seem tedious but will keep your bras looking and fitting better for a long time.

Add your bra to the sink, pushing it down to submerge it in the soapy water. Allow it to soak for up to half an hour if it is visibly soiled.

Step 4

Rinse the bra under the sink faucet until the water runs clear. Be sure to rinse the bra well or else it will feel stiff. Gently squeeze any foam-padded areas a few times to fully get out all the detergent residue.

Step 5

Hang the bra indoors to air-dry or outside in a shady area (sunlight could fade colored fabrics). Indoors, you can speed up drying by turning on a fan in the room.
