Janet and A are right. My Prima Donna bras have lasted a couple of years and are still going strong because I alternate, wash after each wearing, and hand wash. I use a product called Soak. I just squeeze a couple of drops into a sink with a couple of inches of cool water, toss in the bra and let it soak while I get ready for bed, then give the bra a quick rinse, pat out some moisture with a towel and hang to dry. Totally easy and my CPW has to be down to pennies by now. Also, once you know your style and size, look online to buy them. Much cheaper.
