For the Laundry-Challenged:

I’m not great at laundry: I don’t separate my whites out so I’m always looking to buy a white shirt or blouse because the one I own is fuchsia on the sleeve. But still, I’m better than other people—I’ve learned the importance of using hot water versus cold water (answer: one causes close to shrink over time, the other doesn’t). Still there’s a lot to the world of laundry to discover. One such wonder I discovered randomly while meandering around a store, because when do you ever see the words “bra” and “baby” together outside of learning about the birds and the bees?

Where to go:
Bed Bath & Beyond and the TV (i.e. infomercials) have a product that resolves the issue of washing your undergarments into oblivion, the Bra Baby™! (Ha ha, it’s even fun to type)

By encasing a bra in the Bra Baby™ it can help keep the bra from losing its shape or getting snagged on other clothes. Deciding who would be a good candidate for this gift may be tricky since most people don’t share their undergarment washing woes, so in general for people with bras it may be a good fit…figuratively and literally.
