How long does a sports bra last?

Even if you have such good sports brasOver time, these too will wear out. A good bra is not only bought for support and comfort, but you also want to wear it as long as possible. Not only the material, but also the intensity of use of a sports bra determines its lifespan. In this blog we will give you some tips and we will explain how you can stretch the life span of a sports bra.

Sports bras: a story of their own

Sports bras are a story of their own. This has everything to do with the fact that a sports bra is handled differently than a normal bra. It is hard to say exactly how long a sports bra will last. This of course depends on the model, the fabric and whether you wear it regularly or alternate with other copies. Big culprits that can also damage the fabric are acid and salty substances that settle in the fabric through perspiration.

In addition, factors such as heat and friction also definitely play a role. When a sports bra starts to wear out, you will notice the bra loosens and you will feel irritation. Also, if you feel that your breasts are not held in place properly during exercise, it is time to replace your sports bra.

Increasing the expiration date of a bra

Nevertheless, there are some practical tips if you want your (sports) bra to last longer. With the help of the right care and approach, you ensure that your bra does not wear out faster than usual. Some tips:

• Wash by hand: So certainly sports bras wear out quickly. Our advice is to hand wash the bra once after you wore it or let it soak. Then you can let the bra run with a mild detergent in your washing machine. A lot of detergent is not necessary: sweat residue does not dissolve better by using more soap or detergent.
• Use our laundry bag: Your sports bra comes with a free laundry bag. And that's for a good reason. This laundry bag protects the microfibers of your bra from the friction of the washing machine. Therefore, put your bra in the laundry bag and wash it with the machine. And of course pay attention to the washing instructions. Sports bras often consist of elastic or synthetic materials. Washing these bras with cotton clothing, for example, can only accelerate wear and tear.
