Let’s talk lingerie and bras –
the unsung heroes of our wardrobe! These delicate pieces deserve some extra TLC to keep them looking and feeling fabulous.
Hand Washing Is The Way To Go:
Skip the harsh spin cycle of the washing machine and treat your lingerie to a spa day with some gentle hand washing.
No Machine Mishaps, Please
We’ve all heard horror stories of underwires making a grand escape during a wild spin cycle. Let’s avoid that drama, shall we? Keep those hooks from snagging on anything by sticking to hand washing. Your bras will thank you!
Say Goodbye to Softeners:
Softeners may sound lovely, but they’re the frenemies of our bras. They sneakily break down elastic fibers, leaving our once perky pals feeling less than supportive. Give ’em the boot and avoid 3-in-1 soap powders as well as detergents designed for wool.
Gentle Detergents for the Win:
When it comes to soap, think pure and gentle. We’re talking about a cleanser that’ll treat your intimates with the respect they deserve. In fact, we designed a lingerie wash specifically for you which you can find here
Rinse and Dry Like a Pro:
Once your bras and undies have had their spa day, give ’em a thorough rinse to wash away any lingering suds. Then, lay them flat to dry on a cozy towel. Just remember to keep them out of direct sunlight to avoid fading those gorgeous colours!
Rotate Those Bras, Darling:
Variety is the spice of life, right? Well, the same goes for bras! Rotate your bras. This way, each bra gets its time to shine, and you’ll keep them supportive and beautiful for longer.
Store Smart, Not Hard:
Your lingerie drawer is like a VIP lounge for your bras and panties. Treat them like the queens they are by storing them with care. Dedicated organizers or a special section of your drawer will keep them feeling pampered and prevent any mix-ups with your Monday socks.
Know When to Say Goodbye:
Like all good things, bras and lingerie eventually reach their expiration date. Keep an eye out for signs of wear and tear – stretched-out elastic, fraying fabric, or underwires trying to go MIA. When the time comes, bid them adieu and welcome a new member to your lingerie family!
