Lingerie Care: Tips To Make Your Lingerie Last Longer
Your lingerie should love you for a long time — and that means taking care of it the right way. At Brief Essentials, we know quality lingerie is an investment in your comfort, confidence, and everyday glam. So, if you want those lace details, silky textures, and supportive fits to stay fabulous, here’s the low-effort, high-reward care routine you need:
1.Hand wash when you can
We totally get that busy days don’t always allow for delicate care. But when you do have the time, hand washing is the gold standard. It’s gentler than the machine and protects those delicate fabrics, underwires, and elastic bands from wear and tear.
2. Cold water + mild detergent
Stick to cold water and a mild, lingerie-safe detergent. Harsh soaps and hot water can ruin the fibers and fade those pretty hues. If your lingerie has lace, mesh, or embroidery, this is a non-negotiable!
3. Air dry like a queen
Tumble dryers might be fast, but the heat breaks down elastic and weakens the fabric. Air drying is the gentlest way to go. Lay your lingerie flat on a towel or hang it carefully.
4. Rotate your bras
Yes, we all have that one favorite bra, but wearing it every day isn’t ideal. Give your bras time to breathe and bounce back by rotating them. This helps maintain their shape and elasticity especially if you’re wearing them all day.
5. Use lingerie bags on machine days
Let’s be honest, sometimes we toss things in the machine (no shame). But when you do, protect your lingerie with a mesh lingerie bag. It minimizes tangling, snagging, and stretching. Your delicates stay safe, even on busy laundry days.
The goal? Make every piece last longer, fit better, and feel just as amazing as the first wear.
Caring for your lingerie is a little act of self-love that keeps on giving.
Your bras, panties, and nightwear will thank you with years of comfort and flawless fits.
