The Ultimate Lingerie Care Guide
Let’s be real—your lingerie is too fabulous (and probably too expensive) to be tossed in with gym socks and hope for the best. Whether it’s silk, lace, or something a little more scandalous, your intimates deserve VIP treatment.
Welcome to our Ultimate Lingerie Care Guide: your cheat sheet to keeping your beloved boudoir pieces looking as flawless as the day you fell for them. Stick with us, and we'll spill the tea on washing, storing, and pampering your lingerie—because your intimates are far too fabulous for laundry mishaps.
By following these simple lingerie care tips, you’ll ensure that your favorite pieces remain as luxurious and seductive as the day you first wore them.
Wash with Love: Hand Wash vs. Machine Wash
For delicate lace, silk, and embroidered lingerie, hand washing is the safest and most effective method. Here’s how:
Step 1. Fill a basin with cold or lukewarm water and add a mild, lingerie-friendly detergent.
Step 2. Gently swirl your lingerie in the water, allowing it to soak for 5–10 minutes.
Step 3. Lightly rub any areas that need extra cleaning.
Step 4. Rinse with cool water until all detergent is removed.
Step 5. Gently press out excess water using a towel (never wring!).
If you’re short on time and must use a washing machine, always use a lingerie bag and follow these rules:
Use the delicate cycle with cold water.
Fasten hooks on bras to prevent snagging.
Separate colors to avoid color bleeding.
NEVER wash lingerie with heavy fabrics like jeans or towels.
Drying: The One Rule You Should Never Break
Never, EVER put lingerie in the dryer! Heat is the enemy of delicate fabrics—it can shrink lace, damage elastic, and ruin the softness of silk.
Best Drying Method:
Lay lingerie flat on a clean, dry towel and gently roll it to absorb excess moisture.
Reshape your pieces and let them air dry on a flat surface or hang them by the gusset (not the straps).
Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading.
Your lingerie deserves to breathe—let it dry naturally!
Storage: Keep It Organized
How you store your lingerie affects its longevity, shape, and elasticity. Follow these storage tips to maintain its beauty:
Bras: Stack them flat in a drawer—never fold cups into each other as this ruins their shape.
Lace & Silk: Store separately in a lingerie bag or silk pouch to prevent snagging.
Bodysuits & Delicates: Hang lightly on velvet hangers or fold neatly in a drawer.
Satin & Silk Robes: Keep them hung up in a cool, dry place to avoid wrinkles.
A well-organized lingerie drawer isn’t just aesthetic—it keeps your pieces flawless.
Say No to These Lingerie Mistakes!
Using harsh detergents: Stick to mild, pH-balanced detergents to protect delicate fabrics.
Ignoring stains: Treat stains immediately with gentle soap and cold water.
Wearing the same bra every day: Rotate your bras to prevent stretching and loss of shape.
Ironing lingerie: Heat can damage delicate fibers—if needed, use a steamer instead.
Skipping lingerie care altogether: The more love you give your lingerie, the longer it will last!
Special Care for Different Fabrics
Each fabric needs customized care to maintain its beauty:
Lace & Mesh: Hand wash only, never wring, air dry flat.
Silk & Satin: Wash with silk-safe detergent, avoid prolonged soaking.
Cotton: Machine wash on delicate, tumble dry on low (if necessary).
Embroidered Pieces: Spot clean gently or hand wash carefully to protect detailing.
When in doubt, check the care label—it’s there to help you!
Love Your Lingerie, and It Will Love You Back!
And there you have it—your intimate essentials officially have a better self-care routine than most of us!
Your lingerie is made from delicate, high-quality materials that require special attention. Unlike everyday clothing, improper care can cause lace to fray, silk to lose its softness, and elastic to stretch out.
Treat your intimates like the luxe treasures they are, and they'll return the favor by doing their job making you look stunning, confident, and effortlessly sexy.
