They are stored in a dresser drawer one on top of another in a stack, not folded. I have nude in one stack and black in another. There are no problems. Bras that I'll wear again before washing (by hand) get hung on a hook inside the closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-bras#post-957154 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 02:55:32 +0000 velvetychocolate 957154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Handwash (handwash cycle in the washing machine), hang to dry in the laundry room. Once dry, they get stacked on top of each other (not folded in half) in my top dresser drawer. No problems with wrinkling or other issues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-bras#post-957125 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 02:09:57 +0000 Suz 957125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have 4 bras other than workout ones. I store both kinds like Gaylene in those Ikea boxes, except I keep my undies in one box and bras next to them in another box inside a drawer. Seems to work okay.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-bras#post-957119 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 02:05:08 +0000 Caro in Oz 957119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Same as Raisin </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-bras#post-957113 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 02:01:20 +0000 Sarah A 957113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only have a 6 bras of which 4 are in regular rotation. They are the molded cup type so I just line them up one in the next and place on about a 45 degree angle in the drawer. I have had good luck with no dimpling of the foam liner in a years worth of use. I also agree the some brands the foam is much less prone to wrinkling than others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-bras#post-957071 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 01:18:48 +0000 Gaylene 957071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use these IKEA SKUBB drawer storage boxes for my bras, undies, socks, and other smallish items. My bras are fairly pricey so I'm careful about laundering and storing them to maximize their longevity.<br /><a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00192631/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ikea.com/us/en/cata...../00192631/</a>#</p> <p>I think the advice not to store cup inside cup pertains to molded bras. I'm currently down to only two molded bras since I much prefer a seamed, underwire bra which is fine stored cup into cup in an upright position with the wire at the bottom. (That is how the bra boutique stores all of its stock.) I usually tuck the matching undies into the cup so everything gets stored as a set. Extra undies are stored in one of the smaller boxes.</p> <p>I think the puckering and wrinkling on molded bras is more a laundering issue with the foam. Years ago I tried one of those expensive, Oprah-recommended, Dream Tisha Le Mystere bras which become horribly dimpled after only a few washings. The poor fit and puckering turned me off molded bras. </p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-bras#post-957059 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 00:35:50 +0000 lyn* 957059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I throw them all into a big carboard box.

I've heard that cup in cup is not good (not sure why) so the ones not in regular rotation on the bathroom door are stored stacked in lingerie drawer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-bras#post-957052 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 00:32:09 +0000 Raisin 957052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just fold them on half in my drawer. One cup in the other. Never noticed any problems. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-bras#post-957049 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 00:30:44 +0000 donnat 957049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How do you ladies store your bras? I have about 20. I read somewhere that it's better to hang them, so for a couple of years I hung them on a belt/tie hanger, that didn't work so great. So now I. Have a dedicated bra drawer.<br /> The lined t-shirt ones seem to be puckering/wrinkling in the cups. What do you think it is the best storage method? </p>
