Crap Bra's from M&S

[EvianBaby]

I normally get my undies from M&S but have noticed the past few bras I've bought have been crap. When I wash them the outer fabric seems to shrink a bit so the inner layer can't lay flat and ends up puckering around the edge of the cup meaning I can only wear them with baggy tops (which is pretty much only jumpers in winter). I don't wash much over 40 degrees and nothing else seems to shrink.

Has anyone else noticed this problem?

Cannot say I have noticed it, but I bet if you check the 'care label' it says Hand Wash only.

[EvianBaby]

They're not fancy bras. Theres no way I'm hand washing them. (I'll look when I'm home).

40 degrees???? All my M and S bras say 30 degrees or below.

[ladyalex]

I don't hand wash mine either, but a friend of mine had one disintegrate and took it back...and was shown the label....

[EvianBaby]

Tbh, I've never looked at the label for these but 40 is hardly exsessive. Some people don't even have the choice of less than that on machines.

I used to buy from there too, but noticed what you have, also, the 'padding'
goes perculiar, looks awful under a tighter top.
A woman was in one day complaining of the same thing, had the bra with her,
I was behind her in the queue..and that's what she was told...handwash.

I now buy from Primark. believe it or not they are ok.

I really do not have the time for handwash but put all delicate types inside a cotton bag and do a delicate or wool wash

Luckily, you have dropped upon the AB expert on women's underwear.

You should hand wash all bras.

[EvianBaby]

Seriously, who has time to handwash all their bras?

I've just nipped into the loo at work and derobed so I could see the label on this one. (was in a rush this morning and picked and put on a crap one). Label says machine wash 40.

Sqad...whilst getting close in the shower??

[Mamyalynne]

Totally agree, handwash all bras, so easy to do in the bath or shower and shower gel is delicate enough for them.

[Sqad]

chi-chi.......;-)

[EvianBaby]

Really!!!

That's got me in an extra grump. I thought we lived in the age of convenience. And I don't trust my skills to wash them as well as they are in the machine.

Anywho, I am washing in line with the guide on the label so they shouldnt be doing it still.

[Mamyalynne]

If you are washing in accordance with the labels then return them.

I pay so much for mine, delicate washing is all I trust.

\\\\I pay so much for mine, delicate washing is all I trust.\\\

That is my sort of woman.

[EvianBaby]

I don't bother buying decent stuff at the moment, I don't think the cat is that bothered by what undies I've got on around the house.

These ones are probably only about £18 but I'd expect them to last. Only a couple of months old but don't have receipts. Might try my luck on the weekend.

[murraymints]

Evian..I have the solution...we all mail our undies to Sqad !!! howsabout it Sqad..think of the fun you will have assessing us all by our scimpies !!!!
