 Ways To Reuse Old Padded Or Wired Bra

If you have a collection of old padded bras that have become wrinkled and dull from frequent washing, it's time to repurpose them instead of letting them collect dust in the back of your cupboard. We’ve curated a list of five simple ways to reuse an old padded or wired bra. Keep reading to learn more.

5 Ways To Reuse An Old Padded Or Wired Bra

From nipple covers to shoe inserts, an old padded or wired bra has multiple uses. Here are five of them:

1. Use The Pads As Nipple Covers

If you have an old padded bra lying around in the back of your cupboard, you can cut out the pads and use them as nipple covers. Nipple covers are small, detachable padded inserts that can be used for coverage when wearing backless or sleeveless clothes that wouldn’t go with normal bras. Just cut out circles as big or as small as you require from the old bra pads and use those as nipple covers.

2. Use The Bra As Shoe Inserts

Another great way to repurpose an old padded or wired bra is by using its pads as shoe inserts. If you have a flat shoe with a hard sole that is uncomfortable to walk in, simply cut out the old bra pads and use them as shoe inserts to create a soft and comfortable alternative sole. Secure the shoe insert with cloth glue or tape to ensure it stays in place when you're walking.

3. Stitch The Pads Into Tops

If you have a spaghetti(spaghetti strop blouse designs) or camisole-style top or bralette that's a bit risqué and you lack the perfect bra to wear with it, your old bras can come in handy. Repurpose the pads from your old bras by stitching them into the bust area of these tops. This simple DIY trick transforms your tops into padded versions, eliminating the need for a separate bra.

4. Reuse The Straps For Other Bras Or Tops

Old padded bras become dull and lose their elasticity, but the bra straps often stay intact. You can save the straps of old padded or wired bras and use them for different bras, or you can even turn a strapless bra into a strapped one. You can also attach the straps to different spaghetti and camisole-type tops for better support and coverage.

5. Use The Bra Pads As Knee Pads

Another great way to reuse old padded or wired bras is by using the pads as knee pads for protection. If you do heavy weightlifting at the gym or do adventure sports like rock climbing, then protection should be your priority. You can make DIY knee pads from old bra pads for temporary use until you purchase actual knee pads.
