Follow these dos and don'ts from Joanne Sessler, design director for Champion. (And don't fall victim to this crazy-common sports bra mistake.)
· Wash the bra in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach.
· Dry it flat or line dry it. For the dryer, use the cold tumble cycle only: Heat breaks down spandex.
· Replace the bra if the ends of the spandex fibers start showing or the fabric no longer snaps back into shape. (Average lifespan: nine to 15 months of regular wear.)
