How well does it wash ?

I never wore it against my skin because the fabric irritated my skin and the Velcro poked me. I always wore it over a tank top or maternity pants that fully cover my abdomen. Therefore, I've not yet felt the need to clean it. Given the quality, I imagine if you hand wash it then you won't have any problems.

Following a surgical procedure I have to wear this binder for a year. I realized after only a few days that I couldn't wear it against my skin because of irritation, so I always wear it over a shell or undergarment of some kind and then a shirt over that. Have said that, I haven't really gotten it dirty so I haven't had cause to wash it, but I HAVE worn one out (the velcro receiver pad deteriorated after four months of daily wear) and this is the second one. In general I am very pleased that it is as "wearable" as it is . . .

I don't know. Maybe I should have tried that first, but the velcro continually poked into me. I actually just gave it away today. I don't have a very long torso, and maybe that would have made a difference.

I personally have not washed mine yet, but it says it is. I plan to wash mine in cold water on the gentle cycle & air dry it.

Yes, it washes beautifully. I put it in a large front load washer, then I dried it on medium temperature for awhile until it was just damp and hung it outside to finish drying it smelled great from hanging outside! There was no shrinkage at all. Looks brand new.

I have washed this by hand and also in the dishwasher when I have space. It seems to be dishwasher safe.

It washes very easily with a scrubby sponge and dish detergent. I find it comes clean and looks like new.

Hand washing does a fine job. Soapy water and a few shakes and a rinse is about all it really needs.

I'm speaking only based on experience, but I wash it every other time I use my vacuum (so about once or twice a month). I bought this more than a year ago and so far, I've only gone through one and it's still good.

Yes it does wash well - I have three dogs and have to wash it about every three weeks. I alternate with another one though so it is not always the one getting washed.

I wash mine on the delicate cycle, dry on low heat, and have not had any problems.

Yes,So far so good. I have only washed it once though. I really like it. I'm ordering one for my daughter in law for Christmas.

We have had ours for a year. Use it 2-3 times a year and hand wash. So far no problems.

I think it's supposed to be handwashed--at any rate, handwashing is what I do to it. It cleans very easily.

I haven't tried washing it yet but from personal experience on things like this, I can imagine one can wash it on gentle cycle and it should be fine.

I have washed and dried it (on cold & low heat) 10+ times and it works like a charm, cleans up really nice.

I have pretty good success just rinsing it out. I don't wash it with soap and water very often.

I haven't washed it. If it needed cleaning I'd have it dry cleaned to prevent that sort of thing.

I have washed mine a couple of times. It's stainless steel so I don't anticipate that being problem.
