OK, show of hands....be honest.....
how many of you do this????????
"Tip#310"
"Brassieres are easy to iron. Iron toward the center of each cup, turning the brassiere on the board until each area is smooth and dry. Then iron the flat sections and the straps."
I was laughing so hard I could bareley type this tip!!!
Honest to gosh this is a tip I found in a little 1948 booklet called "1003 Household Hints & Work Savers."
I don't ever remember my mom doing this....but I do remember the term... "Torpedo Bra".... yikes! did I just 'age' myself???

LOLOLOL! that is too funny and yep it sounds like a "guy thing"...hahaha!
I asked my mother, who is 74, if she ever ironed her under-mentionables and she said no, but she did "stuff" her bras with old dish rags, & set on a sunny window to dry. Stuffing helped keep the bras shape...now to think, I thought "stuffing" is something members of the "IBTC" (itty bitty tity club)did to enhance their appearence in sweaters! lololol!
Ho Ho Ho

I bet Martha Stewart Irons her "unmentionables." I can totally see HER doing that-- she's what some would call "Anal Explosive!" (seriously! It REALLY is a "politcally correct" term!) "Anal RETENTIVE" people are very particular about CERTAIN things. (Minor OCD -- like with me and how my bed has to be made a certain way or the dishes stacked "just so" in the dish rack when they get washed) "Anal EXPLOSIVE" people, on the other hand, are very particular about EVERYTHING!!! (MAJOR OCD!!!)
This thread is too funny. I nearly peed myself I was laughing so hard reading everyone's response! As for ironing myself? Well, I only iron fabric when I'm sewing or quilting. I have 4 boys (including the husband) and they could CARE LESS if they look like they've slept in their clothes-- and chances are-- they HAVE! My oldest boy used to wear the next days school clothes to bed at night so he could sleep in til the very last second before we had to leave. I swear, I never COULD break him of that habit!!! ~~~ Tracy

As a kid I ironed my dad's business shirts most every Saturday morning it gave a good excuse to watch cartoons
these days???
the dryer method works hands down coundl't tell ya the last time I ironed anything
And this time of year it's nice to warm just about everything before having to brace for the cold! |

Oh, Kat mom you are so funny, but you lie! You look lovely. My mom used a mangler to iron.....no of course not bras!! You sillies, just the sheets! I was well versed on it, however, the only thing I iron are napkins and tablecloths. I saw a mangler at a garage sale this fall and some man and child bought it, I so wanted to ask him what he was going to use it for but I didn't. Somehow I was sure it was not to iron sheets. Ha. Any ideas?

THANKS!
I never had boobs until I had a baby. Now I have enough for all of us. Just kidding, I'm not "Dolly" sized for heavens sake! How I wish I could lose my bra...... oH! I could drink my martini from my "cups". Since they'd be ironed (starch anyone?) they'd hold water right??? Well, not water....vodka....you know!!!

No, Misty, I haven't found my bra - You know, small breasted women like myself have, by extension, small bras and little things like that are hard to find! Good news though, I did find a martini...

I think this is the funniest thread I have ever read!!! Can you imagine ironing a bra....
My grandmother is 101 (no kidding) and she always says " who says the good old days. I lived through the old days and I say to heck with them...I like my washer and dryer!" Next time I call her I'll have to ask her if she's ever heard of ironing a bra. So...Karin (Chessie) did ya find your bra? LOL |

so should we call it:
1-Brassiere Ironing for Dummys
2-Brassiere Ironing for the Not so Chest Challenged
3-101 Ways to iron Your Brassiere
or should we toss out our Brasseires and irons & go have a Martini!!!! ROTFL!!!!!!!!

ROTHF This is tooooo Funny.. My first thought was WHY? Second thought was "I have too many other things to do and Ironing is Not one of them." (I do own one though I remember moving it one day...somewhere)

I am laughing so hard I can hardly type!
For those of you with not enough material to iron....PHOOEY! Wish I had THAT problem!
Amanda and AmyGrace: I'm all for warm garments! I haven't ironed mine, but I have tossed them into the dryer for a warm up before going out to the barn! Toasty! And if I'm allowed to say.....no 'headlights'.

LOL~Thank you for the good laugh. I am ironing now but never would think to iron a bra. I hate ironing and only do hubby's good work clothes. Mine get shake outs instead of ironing. That seems to get enough of the wrinkles out for me.
I'm with some of you girls. There isn't enough material to iron.
Karen~Too funny!!
