This calculator predicts the potential lifespan of your lingerie. You'll input information about the garment, including its fabric type, how you wash and dry it, and how frequently you wear it. The calculator then assigns a 'Longevity Score' based on a proprietary algorithm that weighs these factors. A higher score indicates a longer potential lifespan.

Understanding the factors that contribute to lingerie longevity helps you make smarter purchasing and care decisions. This calculator highlights how choices—like opting for hand-washing or rotating your bras—can dramatically increase the life of your garments. It empowers you to protect your investment and get the most value from your lingerie collection.

The Longevity Score is a powerful indicator of how well you're caring for your lingerie. A high score means you're doing a great job at preserving your pieces. A lower score might highlight areas for improvement. For example, it might show that machine washing is significantly reducing the lifespan of your delicate lace items, encouraging you to switch to hand-washing to boost their longevity.

• Hand-washing is always the best choice for delicate lingerie.
• If you must machine wash, use a mesh laundry bag and a delicate cycle with cool water.
• Never use fabric softener on your bras, as it can coat the fibers and degrade the elastic.
• Store your bras carefully to help them maintain their shape.
• Use this calculator when you're considering a new purchase to understand the long-term care commitment.
