生活小常识：如何保存和清洗胸罩？（双语）

　　女性朋友们经常发现，新买的胸罩刚开始穿着都挺舒服的，可是穿着穿着就感觉没那么舒服了，原来是胸罩变形了。买好的胸罩固然重要，但是，也需要正确的保存和清洗方法，才能让胸罩更舒服、耐穿。

　　Bras can be an expensive essential but treated correctly can have years of good use - however, for most women that isn't the case.

　　胸罩可能是昂贵的必需品，但如果正确保存和清洗，可以戴很多年。但很多女性都没能做到。

　　Thankfully the Good Housekeeping Institute has revealed the big mistakes we are making when it comes to our lingerie and luckily they are easily fixed.

　　感谢好管家学会网站告诉了我们保存和清洗内衣时最大的错误之处，幸好这些也非常容易改正。

　　According to the website there are three main errors we are all guilty of when it comes to our underwear.

　　据该网站介绍，我们对内衣常犯的错误主要有三个。

　　From the storage to how we wash them, we reveal the mistakes to avoid when it comes to your bras.

　　保存和清洗胸罩需要避免以下几个错误：

　　DON'T WASH THEM TOO OFTEN.

　　不要洗太勤

　　As bras are underwear many of us make the mistake of thinking they need washing every day.

　　因为胸罩属于内衣，很多人误以为需要每天清洗。

　　However, as Good Housekeeping explains, doing so can cause them to lose their elasticity - and it recommends instead washing them every three to four wears.

　　但好管家学会解释说，这会使胸罩失去弹性，并建议人们戴三到四次清洗一次。

　　In addition it recommends washing them in a pillow case to protect the washing machine and avoid tumble drying.

　　此外它还建议把胸罩放在枕套中清洗以保护洗衣机，不要用烘干机烘干。

　　DON'T KEEP THEM IN THE DRAWER

　　不要保存在抽屉里

　　Surprisingly Good Housekeeping say that it is a mistake to store bras in a drawer, as many of us do.

　　让人意外的是，好管家学会说，很多人把胸罩放在抽屉中保存，这是不对的。

　　The website explains that it is important to let them air so that 'sweat doesn't fester' causing odour or irritation.

　　网站中解释说，要把胸罩放在通风的地方保存，这非常重要，这样做“汗液不会沤烂”，导致异味或刺激。

　　It is recommended that instead you hang your bra, but not from the strap as this can cause stretching, instead hand them from the centre.

　　该学会建议人们把胸罩悬挂放置，但不要把胸罩的肩带挂在衣架上，这会使其拉长，要把胸罩的中间部位挂在衣架上。

　　BUY THE RIGHT SIZE

　　选购合适的尺码

　　Many of us assume that we are wearing the correct size but unfortunately that isn't the case.

　　很多女性认为自己戴的胸罩尺码刚刚好，但不幸的是并非如此。

　　Most women avoid bra fitting after their teens, but breast shape can fluctuate due to hormones and weight loss/ gain so it is important to check your size.

　　多数女性在成年后就不再试穿胸罩，但随着荷尔蒙及体重的变化，胸部的形状也在变化。因此核对胸罩尺码很重要。

　　When purchasing a bra be sure to buy one that you are only able to hook on the loosest clasp so that once it stretches you have the option of tightening it.

　　在购买胸罩时，要确保自己只能系上最宽松的一个挂钩，这样胸罩拉长后你还有机会把它扣紧。
