On her TikTok, Nhlapho started by showcasing a bra that was washed in the washing machine without proper care as a clear example of what not to do.

The damaged, “off-shape” bra had the underwire poking out through the corner, every ladies’ worst nightmare.

The laundry whizz then detailed how to properly wash your bra to ensure the wires don’t pierce the fabric and poke through.

In order to get your bras to last longer, and always be in good shape, she suggested putting your bra in a laundry bag or pillowcase before washing.

“And make it a point that the water you are using is cold water,” she added.

Viewers of the video showed gratitude in the comments.

“Thanks for the tip, always struggled with this,” one commented.

“Thank u I’ve been struggling with wires,” added another.

“Yooo I am so educated today thank you… I always have wondered why the wires come out,” someone enthused.

One grateful user praised: “Your content is so relevant we appreciate you mama.”

If you’re looking for more bra tips, a woman named Hannah Warling shared how to turn your bra into a strapless one in seconds.

Wearing a strappy bra over a white t-shirt, Warling demonstrated how to make the straps disappear.

She began by lifting up one strap and placed it over her head so that it ended up on the opposite shoulder.

She then slipped her arm out of the strap so that it was positioned under her armpit and across the width of her chest.

The steps were then repeated with the second strap.

Both straps now tightly across the front of her chest, Hannah lifted them up and placed them over the top of the cups to pin them down and stop them from moving about.

Social media users were very pleased with the handy hack.

“Awwww I literally had this problem today. Would never have thought of this – yeeeehaaaaa,” one enthused.

A second wrote: “Finally.. This solved my problem. Thank you.”

Another added: “This is lifesaving.”

“This is the best hack ever thhhaannkkkss especially since I love off the shoulder tops,” someone else commented.

However, another spectator wasn’t so successful with the hack.

“Now I’m stuck and don’t know how the hell I am gonna get out of this mess,” she joked.
