I just properly handwashed a bra for the first time! I feel like an adult. One thing I'm not sure about though is drying. I get that it's supposed to air dry, but what about all the excess water? Is there a way a proper way to gently squeeze it from the cup? I just fold the bra along the seams and carefully pressed to get most of it out, then propped the cups up and put it on a towel to finish drying. I was just afraid it would take forever if I didn't get rid of some excess water first.

That's pretty much what I do, I think as long as you don't significantly deform moulded cups they should be OK. Go nuts with unlined bras. You could also try putting moulded bras on top of a towel and blotting them with another towel to soak up excess water. I've heard good things about using salad spinners to remove water from bras as well.
The salad spinner seems like a great idea! I went delicate with this one because I was washing it to sell, but next time I'll try the blotting technique. Our common area gets pretty warm so I'm sure it won't take too too long to dry.
