I wear mine daily so I was it at least once a week if not more to avoid nasty back breakouts. I get those if I don't wash it. I just toss it through the washer and dryer.

ok cool. do u just wash and dry it on regular and it doesnt wear it out faster or anything like that?

It lasted me a year and a half of doing that before it started to wear down. Now it's about 2 years old and has some holes but it's still wearable. I toss it in with my clothes like a normal wash. It's a tri-top btw.

I probably wash mine twice a week. i have two binders so i switch back and forth. I have a tri top and a full length binder, both from underworks.

I wash mine about once a week.  I put it in the washer with the rest of my clothes, but I don't put it in the dryer.  I've done that before, and while it's not awful, it does seem to warp them a little bit.

I wash mine once a week, it's a day-to-day binder, the Ultimate Conceal Tank from Underworks (or something like that, full body). Until I'd had it a year, I washed it in a delicate bag and air dried it. Now it's started to lose its shape and I wash and dry it once a week, to get the spandex tightened back up.
