Lingerie is made up of fragile components and delicate fabrics so caring for it properly is very important (especially if you are a gel bra wearer). Caring for your smalls will mean that they will not wear out as quickly and in the long term will save you money. It will also reduce the chance of your lingerie becoming damaged. So here are a few hints and tips on how to best take care of your undies.
I would recommend that you always hand wash your bras. Washing machines wash quite vigorously and will not only weaken stitching but also wear fabric. Wash using a gentle, chlorine free, washing detergent preferably one specifically meant for lingerie because they tend to be less damaging. Hand washing will make your bras last that bit longer.
When you buy moulded or gel/liquid filled bras store them individually, perhaps in small boxes, to prevent the cups getting dented or distorted. Denting can ruin a garment completely if severe. If you really want to go 'all out' with protecting your lingerie then wrapping them in tissue paper or fabric can stop them snagging or fading. It depends how much you love that bra!!
If any creases or dents appear then you can try the steaming method. Using a hand held steamer or carefully holding over the top of a boiling kettle will make the bra cups more malleable enabling you to tease out any minor creases or dents. It could save your much loved bra.
Dry your underwear naturally! It is better not to expose your delicate's to direct heat which can damage fabrics and fade colours, so putting them on the radiator or in the tumble dryer is not a good idea. Use the trusty washing line or clothes horse.
I know it all seems like quite hard work but it will be worth it Ladies, I promise.
