I have joined the Valetta fan club, and now wear these every day with great results. I am interested in hearing from other happy users how you launder and care for these. I have been washing on gentle cycle and letting it air dry, actually over a heating outlet. And, it just takes forever to dry these things. I can't imagine how line drying would ever work successfully in summer.

I am starting a new exercise class and would love to wear this, but it the thought of washing and drying these after exercise means I'm going to need to invest in a lot more of them. Do any of those put these in the dryer and still get a satisfactory life out of them?

This site and this thread is just invaluable to share with others. Thanks for replies.

    I wash mine on gentle cycle with the same special detergent I use for bras (Forever New, bought it at what had been Intimacy, now Rigby & Peller--it’s also on Amazon). Before I line dry them I put them between towels for abt. 1-2 hr. to blot up excess water. I line dry indoors. You might try a blow dryer set on high flow/warm abt. 8-12” away to accelerate the process.

    Hi Itzy and ChiSandy : I have been wearing them for about 4 years. With so many problems with my nerve tissue I wanted something that would not dig in. Anyway, I gentle was them too. Hugs....

    Mine always dry over night on a line, so it must depend on where we live. If you watch, Metro Medical Online has sales, I got 4 for $25 each

    last summer, not the best choice of colors usually, but that is fine with me.

    Thank you all for your input. I can put your ideas into practice and cut down dry time.

    And thanks for the Metro Medical sales tip. $25 each sounds great
