I wear a 42DD underwire. The wires wouldn't fit in the ball unless I bent them all out of shape, which is what I'm trying to prevent. I'll keep looking for something better. Right now I'm using mesh bags but they are falling apart. I tried the Tide brand but my bras just wouldn’t fit. I wear a 42DD underwire.

I like the bag for bras that are not padded or molded cups. I can fit 2 in there, or I can put a couple pairs of panties that I don't want ruined, or pantyhose, which is why I bought both. I used to use the mesh bags, but bras that have molded cups, underwires, or padding/lifting still get ruined and lose their shape. At nearly $50 a piece, I'm not taking chances with my bras! I suppose the flimsy mesh bags are fine for shapeless bras, no underwire, no padding, C cup or smaller, but I pay a good chunk of change for my DD/F bras, and I don't want them ruined in the wash. So far, I am VERY happy with the results of both the bra baby and the bag! I have both the Bra baby (which only cost about $6 at Walmart) and the compartment style bag, also made by tide.

I get my bras from Cacique which is plus size so they may be bigger than an average C cup bra, but either way, I had to return them. I hand wash my bras.

The website is here: http://www.braballs.com/ I would HIGHLY recommend purchasing from this seller instead (and no, I'm not a friend or relative, I just have made a couple of purchases and they've all gone very smoothly). The product is great, and really does protect even my frilly victoria's secret underwire stuff from being destroyed in the washing machine. Plus, even on the gentle cycle in the machine, bras get MUCH MUCH dryer, shortening the air dry time before you can wear them again. Just some thoughts...

I run some warm water into the tub, throw in a little liquid laudry soap and stop the filling when the water is deep enough to cover my bras. Then I toss in a few bras and swish them around with my hands. Then I turn the water back on and hold the bras under the running water of the washing machine to rinse them. I gently shake any excess water and hang them on a wooden rack to dry. My bras are expensive investments and hand washing them like this keep them in shape for a year or so. After that much time, the fabric starts to lose it's elasticity and they don't give me the support I need. I wash my underwire bras in the washing machine, but manually.

It works just fine but so far I don't find that there is much difference between this and a lingerie bag. I think maybe the difference is in how long they will last, since the BB prevents the cups from warping and flattening out in the wash. I wouldn't bother if you have a small cup size or don't wear molded cups, but for me and my well-endowed mummy, it's not a bad idea, especially since we need the absolute best (read: most expensive) bras available. Typically I wear out my bras in about a year, so I guess it will take that much time to see if this is worth it. My only complaint is that it comes in a white box with "THE BRA BABY" written on it in big black letters. Not so nice when it's left out on your front porch. My mum just got one of those.

That is what I have been using for a long time and it keeps my bras from getting tangled or pulled for about $19 less than the bra baby.

Thank you, I'm going to try it out. I also always wash my bras with cold water. And I have a front loader washer so it doesn't have the agitator that is so hard on clothes. I love this idea.
