Another reason for having a trial is, to seek the expert’s advice available at the store.

Adjusting it always right

Our body keeps changing its shape regularly hence we always require certain tweaking here and there. Keep adjusting the bra according to the needs and requirements. Many brands also include an extra changeable strap in packaging. The body of bra may not get faded with time, but the strap does. You can always change the strap and make it good as new.
So is with the hooks, generally, every bra has three options to fit in use as per the need.

Wash and Care of the Bra properly

I am guilty of this; machine wash is easy and organized but it dismantles the bra when it gets tangled with other garments. Especially the underwire bra, I have spoiled a lot in a machine wash. Best is hand wash and line dry, but since you do not have time for handwash get a lingerie wash bag.
This bag is made especially for your lingerie, keep all in this washable bag, and the bag goes in the washing machine. All heavy wear and tear will be handled by the bag and lingerie are safe inside it. Untangled, un-ripped, and clean.

Store them neatly by clasping the hooks so that they do not tangle with other garments and do the damage. Also, with clasping hooks together the shape of bra remains sturdy for a longer time.

These are a few things you must know about the most important garment – Bra which we usually ignore. Take care of such essential clothing items and in return, they will take care of you.
