Lingerie Care

HAND WASHING 

We always recommend reading your garment care tags as many items require special cleaning instructions. 
  • Hand Washing is the key to increasing the lifespan and vibrancy of your delicates.
  • Wash after every wear.
  • Only hang your bras to dry (from the center) so they don't quickly lose their elasticity.
  • Use less abrasive detergents that don't break down the fibers. We love Soak and Forever New!
HERE'S HOW YOU DO IT!
  1. Fill your wash tub or sink with luke warm water.
  2. Add delicate wash detergent like Soak or Forever New.
  3. Drop in your delicates and make sure they are completely submerged.
  4. Soak for 15-20 minutes.
  5. Gently rub the fabric together to remove dirt. If you are using Forever New or other delicate detergents, gently rinse the items in cool water, but if you are using Soak, there's no need to rinse and you can remove the bras from the soapy water.
  6. Gently squeeze the fabric to remove excess water, but be sure not to not ring or twist the fabrics! We don't want your bra to lose shape or elasticity!
  7. Lay flat to dry on a towel or hang to dry on a dry rack. Do not hang your bra to dry by it's straps as that may cause them to stretch out too fast - only hang from the center.

MACHINE WASHING 

Although we do highly recommend you always hand wash your bras, we know that sometimes machine washing is the only option. So, if you must, here's the best way to do it!
  • Always use a lingerie bag to wash your delicates so items don't get tangled up and stretched out during wash.
  • Be sure to fasten the clasps of your bra to ensure fabrics don't get snagged while washing.
  • Again, only hang your bras to dry so they don't quickly lose their elasticity.
  • Use less abrasive detergents that don't break down the fibers. Soak & Forever New are perfect for machine washing and even work in your HE machines!
  • Use the most delicate cycle to wash your lingerie. The hand wash cycle is best! 
  • NEVER use fabric softener! This will break down the fibers in your intimates and cause wires to break, bands to come apart, and holes!

Storage:

For molded cups, NEVER fold the cups into each other. This will cause the cup to permanently wrinkle. For molded cups you should nest them together, unhooked and place inside of your drawer.
