There are many mistakes we can make when it comes to the realm of bras, girls. From getting the perfect fit to ensuring you change your bra every six months, storing your bras in an unorganised way can only add to the mix.
Sometimes, the urge to throw your bra into your underwear drawer can be verrry tempting, but let’s be honest, there’s no better feeling than opening up an organised underwear drawer of dreams, right?
Our handy bra storage ideas will ensure you store your bras in the right way so that they stay fresher for longer and remain in tip top shape. Besides, your bras are the unsung hero of your underwear drawer, so you’ve got to treat them right.
1. FASTEN THE BACK
For bras with a hook and eye or clasp fastening, it’s a good idea to fasten these up. This will ensure they don’t get caught or damage any of your other intricate items.
2. LAY YOUR BRAS FLAT
When storing bras, it’s really important that you lay them flat. While it’s tempting to fold them in half to save space, this can affect their shape and can even damage the centre of the garment.
And the last thing you want, girls, is a lumpy, bumpy bra! Been there, done that.
3. STORE YOUR BRAS SEPARATELY
(Lounge) bras absolutely deserve their own limelight. Besides, their beauty and support is unmatched!
Therefore, if you have the space, we recommend storing bras separately to your other underwear, including briefs, thongs and socks. This will help keep them as pristine as possible, so you can hold onto your favourite bra for that little bit longer.
4. CATEGORISE YOUR BRAS
Is your underwear drawer overflowing with different bra styles? Don’t worry, Loungers, we’re not judging! Besides, you can never have too much Lounge.
If, like us, you love nothing more than a beautifully organised underwear drawer, categorising your bras is one of the best ways to store bras.
Organise your underwear by styles, including bralettes, wired bras, non wired bras and padded and non padded styles. This not only helps preserve their shape, but it helps you choose the perfect bra for your outfit. Because there’s nothing more satisfying than matching your underwear to your outfit, right?.
5. ROTATE YOUR BRAS
We all have that one bra that we love to wear day in and day out. But the truth is, Loungers, this is not best practice!
Rotating your bras helps keep them in tip top condition and prolongs their lifespan. We recommend that you have at least three to four bras to switch between. We also suggest washing your bra after every two or three wears. Read more here.
Don’t forget, girls, you should be replacing your bras every six months! New Lounge, anyone?

Plus, it means you get to appreciate your bras for all their beauty!
So, Loungers, if you want to keep your bras in check and give them a new lease of life, make sure you take note of these bra storage ideas. Besides, we’re experts in this field, after all.
