WHEN it comes to bras, there’s plenty of bad habits we’re all guilty of.
From not changing our bra often enough, to washing it without taking care of its form and shape, the list is endless.
But have you been storing your bra all wrong, too?
A bra guru, who posts under the acronym @okko, took to TikTok and shared an informative video where she reveals the one mistake she always sees women make when putting their bras away.
In the clip, she begins: “Are you storing your bras correctly?”

“Some of you may be tempted to fold them in half and then push one side in in order to save space in your top drawer but that actually messes up the shape.”
Holding up the foam pad, she continues: “These pads are moulded into this shape so if you push one side in like this and it’s inverse, it’ll create wrinkles and dents that you’ll be able to see through your shirt.”
