What periodic care should the brace receive? Does it require special washing instructions? Can it be washed

Yes, I wash it in cold water once a week and hang it to dry. My husband wears a T-shirt under it and he has 2 so that he can wear one while the other is being washed. Also, Velcro it together and don't wash it with anything fuzzy.

Hook it together as if you had it on. Throw it in the machine on normal. Lay it flat to dry

hand wash in the sink, hang to let air dry. No bleach. I used antibacterial hand soap...Also, as I wore a tank top under the binder, and had more than one binder so I could trade off, I didn't have to wash as often.

I'm not sure how often it should be washed, but I hand washed mine a few times. The only problem I found was that the soft side that goes against abdomen tended to shrink slightly leaving the rough side of the Velcro larger and abrasive against the skin after awhile.

Hi I always have a t-shirt on with this brace,i move lots of furniture and it gives me the support I need. You can hand wash it only with a mild detergent,then air dry. Hope this helps

Yes. I washed mine on the gentle cycle to get some sunscreen off it. Hang to dry.

I don't have the original packaging, and the tag doesn't say anything. I think a handwash or surface wash would work just fine based on the materials it's made of (and because of all the Velcro).

There are detailed (rather complicated) directions on the tag, however I just washed mine on gentle and it was fine. We don't know how we lived without ours.

Yes. I have washed mine, just not too often. I've washed it on delicate but might be better hand washed.

My daughter wears the brace all day especially during Track Meet days. She has not expressed any discomfort from extended use. She doesn't sleep in it.

I constantly wash with hot water and soap. It also goes in bath or shower with my child. I use germ x when in public and it gets dropped. I also make a necklace with yarn to keep it "on" him. Hope this helps.

The instructions I got say to wash it in cool water and mild soap. I do it by hand, not in the laundry.

I wash it with mild soap before and after use, and let it dry with air. So far everything is OK

We wash it after each use. It has never been a problem or concern with daily use but I suppose it happens.

I would hand wash with mild soap, warm water, but i believe it could be machine washed gentle cycle

I wash everything for baby before 1st use in dreft just to make sure it's clean, but if you absolutely don't want to wash it I would put it in dryer for a few minutes to make sure there is no dirt or dust on it!

Yes you can eat. Of course after a while food gets stuck in it and it has to be replaced. But it is the best for relieving brace irritation, making it possible to talk and eat without pain.

If you mean to wash the strap, it shouldn't be washed. But it can be removed to change slots and to remove the cover, which is washable.

I gave it as a gift to my granddaughter. She only wore it once. If it was me, I would contact the seller to find out the best way to care for them, if that's possible.

The answer is quite simple. If you keep the brace on it traps fluids which produces rashes bacterial fungal . The preventive measures consist of periodically opening the brace to drying it out . Using baby powder & or antiperspirant is helpful in keeping the brace & producing less skin irritation
