Lingerie is fragile by nature — and when loved, it can remain gorgeous and supportive for years. Whether it’s your go-to lace bralette or a satin luxe set, here’s how to keep your pieces looking (and feeling) like new.
1. Hand Wash When You Can
Machine washing is a bit harsh for delicate fabrics. Hand washing, cold water, and mild detergent are the way to go in order to be gentle with lace, mesh, and underwire details.
Fast Tip: Soak 10-15 minutes, swirl softly, then rinse.
2. If You Need to Use a Machine.
Add a mesh lingerie bag and never fail to take the delicate cycle with cold water. Hook bras first before machine washing to prevent snags.
❌ 3. Don’t Use a Dryer
Heat destroys elasticity and weakens fragile fibers. Always dry your lingerie flat or hang it in a shaded area. Never wring or twist the fabric.
4. Wash with a Gentle, Lingerie-Friendly Detergent
Harsh chemicals degrade fabrics. Use a pH-balanced, fragrance-free detergent designed for delicates.
5. Store with Care
Don’t squish bras into drawers — pile molded cups to keep shape. Utilize dividers to prevent lace and straps from tangling or snagging.
6. Rotate Your Favorites
Wearing the same bra daily wears it out quicker. Rotate your lingerie to provide elastic with time to recover and keep its shape.
Final Thought:
Great lingerie deserves great care. A little extra attention can go a long way in keeping your pieces soft, supportive, and stunning for years to come
