Care Gude for Bra's
To keep your underwear looking in top-notch condition, we recommend that it
is hand washed after each wear.
Machine washing is convenient, but garments may shrink, discolour and they could even damage your underwear or washing machine.
Underwired bras can become misshapen or the wire could be pushed through the
fabric of the bra causing it to stick in you or your washing machine.
Manufacturers only recommend hand washing. Use warm water to hand wash. This
will keep whites looking white and colours looking bright and use a detergent especially made for washing delicates. Never use hot or boiling water unless the label says so.
Gel Bra's
Gel bras should be washed only by hand, as above. They should
be placed on the top of your lingerie drawer to maintain their shape. Keep away from sharp objects.
Breast Care Guide
Taking Care of your breasts
During Sports
There are no muscles in the breasts, only ligaments and tissue, and once these
ligaments have become stretched there is nothing that you can do to lift
your bust.
Without a good sports bra, the breasts will bounce when you exercise, causing
them to sag forever. The larger your bust is then obviously, the greater the need for extra
support when exercising, for comfort and protection of our best assets!
Check out the Sports bras from Panache for high impact sports bras.
They look great on their own or can be worn under t-shirts. They are produced
from a breathable fabric that draws the moisture away from your body for comfort,
incorporating padded straps and an ultra light titanium wire that moulds to
the bodies contours.

During Pregnancy
During pregnancy the abdomen increases in size to accommodate the growing baby.
The lower ribs lift upwards and outwards to provide more space in the abdomen.
As a result the under bust measurements will tend to increase during the pregnancy,
until about one month before the baby is born.
It is essential to wear a good fitting, supportive bra during this time. The
tissues of the breast are very delicate and the breast is growing and changing
in preparation for feeding the new baby. Changes in the breasts normally begin
well before the abdomen shows any sign of increasing size.
Fitting your Support Bra in Pregnancy
When fitting a bra early in pregnancy follow the following advice.
- Fit the bra on the tightest eye to allow the bra to grow with you.
- Avoid underwires as these may become tight and uncomfortable around the
breast, pressing into the delicate breast tissue.
- Ensure that the breast is well supported within the cup.
Fitting a Nursing bra
The usual time to buy your nursing bras is towards the end of pregnancy, about
3 or 4 weeks before the baby is due.
- Fit the bra on the loosest eye to allow for the bra to be tightened after
baby is born.
- Allow some extra room in the cup, for when the milk comes in – around
one cup size more.
- Make sure you are comfortable with the opening and closing mechanism and
that you can manage it with one hand.
