How to Remove Creases From Your Bra Cups
If you've ever pulled out your favorite bra (or bra top) out of the wash, only to find the foam cups wrinkled, creased or dented, you're not alone.
Many experience this common issue with molded foam bras or bras with removable pads, especially after they’ve been through the washing machine or dryer.
Our advice? Don't toss them out just yet! There's a super simple and effective way to remove creases or wrinkles from your bra cups / pads, and restore them to their original condition.
This method works on removable cups, as well as cups built into most bras or bra tops!
Step 1: Prepare hot water and pour it into a bowl
Step 2: Carefully soak your foam cups in the hot water and watch the magic happen. The hot water relaxes the fibres and allows the foam cup to revert to its original shape!
Step 3: Your foam cup should look smooth now! All you have to do is wait for it to dry. We recommend air drying your cups, always!

Method 2: Steam it out
If you have a garment steamer, you can use that to get rid of creases and dents from your bra pads too!
Here’s how:
Step 1: Hold the steamer about 6 inches away from the foam cups. Do not press the steamer or iron directly onto the fabric, as this could damage the foam.
Step 2: Gently move the steamer or iron over the wrinkled area, allowing the steam to penetrate the foam.
Step 3: Use your fingers to gently press and smooth out the wrinkles as you go.
Step 4: Let the foam cups cool and air dry completely.
Foam cups are designed to hold their shape and provide support, but the foam material easily develops wrinkles or creases from washing, drying or storage. The stiffer the foam cup, the less likely it will crease - but the stiff it is, the less comfortable it is to wear as well!
Thankfully, there are simple solutions to restoring your bra cups.
