ABSTRACT:
An intimate garment protector for protecting a garment or multiple garments, namely bras, during laundering. The device comprises first and second basket members that are designed and configured to receive the cup portions of at least one bra. Preferably, the basket members have a generally dome-like or conical-like shape. The device further includes first and second biasing members wherein the first biasing member is designed and configured to be received within the first basket member and the second biasing member is shaped and configured to be received within the second basket member. Accordingly, by placing the cup portions of the bra or bras in the basket members and then placing the biasing members thereupon, a sandwich-like configuration is formed that protects the shape and contours of the bra during the washing process. Preferably, the intimate garment protector further includes for hinge-like attachments between the first biasing member and first basket member, the second biasing member and second basket member and the first basket member and second basket member. Furthermore, the garment protector is preferably designed such that the basket members, while containing a bra or multiple bras disposed therein, may form a ball or football-like configuration and include means for detachably forming such configuration.
