To keep your lingerie in good shape, store it carefully. Bras with moulded cups should be laid flat with cups stacked inside each other — never folded or inverted — as this helps maintain their shape. Drawer dividers can be handy to organise bras, briefs, and accessories neatly. Avoid overcrowding, which can warp the structure of underwire and padding. Delicate items like lace or mesh should be kept separate to prevent snagging. For shapewear and hosiery, fold gently and store in breathable fabric bags or compartments. Proper storage not only extends the lifespan of your lingerie but also makes it easier to find what you need when getting dressed.

Wired bras use an underwire to lift, separate, and support the bust, offering a structured fit that many find flattering under clothing. Wire-free bras provide a softer, more flexible feel and are often favoured for comfort, especially during relaxed wear or sleep. Both options can offer excellent support when well-fitted. Wired bras are typically chosen for formal outfits or larger busts requiring definition, while wire-free styles are ideal for casual wear, smaller busts, or post-surgery comfort. Your choice depends on personal preference, lifestyle, and the type of support or silhouette you’re after. Many people enjoy having both in their lingerie collection for different needs.

Maternity bras are designed to accommodate changes in breast size and shape during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Look for soft, stretchy fabrics, wide straps, and breathable material for all-day comfort. Supportive features like strong underbands, multi-row hook-and-eye closures, and side panels can help ease pressure and provide better lift. Nursing bras often include drop-down cups or front-access panels for easy feeding. Avoid underwires in the later stages of pregnancy unless the bra is specifically designed for maternity wear, as regular wires can press against sensitive breast tissue. Fit is especially important during this time, so consider being professionally measured during each trimester as your body changes.
