Cisgenger woman, so please ignore me if this isn't welcome, but I would love to help!
I wash all my bras in the machine, on cold and hang them dry. Putting into a lingerie bag is a personal preference. (I only do it if I'm washing other stuff with zippers) If there are deodorant stains, vinegar is pretty effective. Soak the bra and use either a toothbrush or (I know this sounds crazy) the foam top of a dry-cleaner coat hanger, to scrub off deodorant. Idk why the coat hanger foam works but it's great!
🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵 If anyone reading this doesn't have a person in their life, who they can reach out to for advice about feminine related stuff, feel free to message me. I'm a professional cosplayer and mortician (so a seamstress, SFX makeup artist, wig stylist, all in one), and I'm happy to share any of my knowledge! My friend group is mostly people who loathe and/or changed their assigned gender, so it's a subject close to my heart. 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵
I also have bra washing suggestions! (I have some executive function issues, so I try to share my tips.)
My partner does what you do, because she doesn't wear any underthings with foam or wires and she hasn't found that method wears them out.
I used to put my bras in the washing machine, but the underwire would always cause some sort of issue. (I also love my underwire bras... They keep everything in place better than without.)
I have this little dish tub I put mine in, and I clean using this soap called "Soak." No scrubbing, I just dump it in there, swirl a little and wait like 15 minutes. I then squeeze out the water (gently!) and hang to dry. It's super easy and helped me keep everything clean and in good condition.
Put them in a mesh bag and use the delicate cycle! Then lay flat to dry.
I Iike bras hanging on the side of the laundry bag so I don't dump them in the machine right away like the rest of the clothes. Do the same with anything else that needs mesh bag. I'm not sorting laundry! Mesh bag makes it easier for me to find what doesn't go in dryer too.
