The elastic band is the heart of your bandeau padded bra — when it loses tension, the bra stops working. Here is how to keep your bandeau elastic strong for months.
What Kills Elastic Fast
Hot water washing — heat snaps elastic fibres. Machine drying — the worst thing you can do. Wringing and twisting — breaks the rubber threads inside the fabric. Leaving it scrunched in a gym bag — constant compression weakens the elastic. Wearing the same bandeau every day — the elastic needs rest time to recover its shape.
How to Extend Elastic Life
Always wash in cool water — hand wash only. Air dry flat — never hang by one edge. Rotate between the 3 colours in your pack — each gets 48 hours of rest. Store flat in a drawer — never folded or crushed. Replace when the bandeau starts rolling down — tired elastic cannot be revived. Get the bandeau padded bra pack of 3 at Rs 168 and follow these tips for months of wear.
