囧研究：內衣多久洗一次才最合適？

It's an age-old debate that has puzzled bra-wearing-folk for centuries, how often should you wash your bras?

百年來困擾內衣使用者的問題，而且這個問題也被爭議了好多次，就是內衣多久洗一次。

It's a question that drums up a myriad of responses, far more than the query of how often one should wash one's underwear.

好嘛這一問激起千層浪，無數人都想知道到底多久洗一次內衣合適。

Whether you're a weekly washer or more of a monthly advocate, according to one underwear expert, you're probably not giving your bras the full scrub-down they need.

無論你是一週洗一次還是一個月洗一次，根據一位專家的表示，這樣洗內衣的頻率是遠遠不夠的。

Speaking toApartment Therapy, JenéLuciani, author of The Bra Book, revealed that, contrary to popular belief, bras should actually be washed after each use.

接受《Apartment Therapy》雜誌採訪時，《內衣之書》的作者JenéLuciani表示，有悖於普羅大衆的觀點，事實上內衣每穿一次就要洗一次。

“You should wash your bras after every wearing, which is something a lot of women don't realise!” she said.

“你應該每穿一次就洗一次，很多女性都沒有注意到這一點。”她說到。

The Australian lifestyle expert added that this isn't just for hygiene reasons but for basic bra-maintenance.

這位澳大利亞生活專家還補充道，這不僅僅是個人衛生問題

“Your bra accumulates a pretty hefty serving of sweat, grime, and elements from the air,” she explained, “which can actually chip away at the longevity of your undergarment by affecting the elasticity and other materials.”

你的內衣上聚積了汗液，污垢，還有空氣中的各種元素，“這些會縮短你內衣的使用時間，主要是影響內衣的彈性和其他材質。”

She went on to explain that the dirt and oil from our skin can gradually chip away at the elasticity of a bra's material when we overwearit.

她還說，如果我們過度穿着不及時清洗內衣，皮膚分泌的油脂和污垢會讓內衣的材質缺乏彈性。

Ultimately, if you want your bras to truly stand the test of time, you and your washing machine need to take your relationship to the next level.

最後如果想讓內衣經得起考驗，那麼你要提高點覺悟，洗衣機要多點性能。

Obviously remember to check on the label of said bra if it's okay to actually place it in the washing machine - particularly delicate ones may require a garment bag or a hand-wash.

最起碼要看下內衣上面的標籤是不是能機洗，是不是有什麼特殊要求，比如要放在洗衣袋裏洗，或者是要手洗。

Most should be fine on a gentle cycle in a cold wash, Lucianisaid.

大部分內衣都是要求冷水輕柔洗。Lucinai說道。
