Let's talk about bras, amigas. How much do you actually know about them in terms of fit, function or even how to care for them? Me? I throw all of my "delicates" in with my un-delicates so they don't last very long and I'm ashamed to say that I am at a place in my life right now where I don't even know what size I wear. Can you believe that? And it's not because I don't know how to measure my girls to find out, it's just that I was breastfeeding for so long and my breasts took on a life of their own growing and shrinking multiple times a day.
I tell you all of this because I came across a video of bra hacks that is all kinds of useful. Even if you think you know all there is to know about bras I recommend that you watch it because I can almost guarantee you will learn something new.

As I watched the video, I smacked my head a few times because I couldn't believe that certain ideas hadn't occurred to me on my own. Like that I could use a paper clip to turn a regular bra into a racerback bra in a pinch or that using a salad spinner to dry a bra is useful and BRILLIANT. Or the whole issue of how to store bras. I mean, it doesn't seem all that difficult right? But when I put my bras in a drawer they get all tangled up and in no time at all it's a mess in there. It really had never occurred to me that you could hang multiple bras on a hanger not only to save space, but to preserve their shape.
There is one hack in the video that I do have to say I found ridiculous though. If the wire from your underwire is poking through your bra, it's time to retire that one, don't go putting a panty liner over the wire to fix it, especially not a used one. They didn't use a used one in the video, but I'm just sayin'.
Okay, check it out!
