Care

Handwashing your lingerie is always the preferred option, we all know that. Alas life is tough and our lingerie must be too. If you must machine-wash your items, select Delicate Wash mode - this is a low agitation wash with a lower speed spin. If you're unsure, use lukewarm water (no more than 30ºC) and select a low spin to protect the elasticity of fibres. Always place your garments in lingerie bags (hit up Daiso for affordable options).

Never use the dryer. Always air-dry and if space permits, lay your lingerie flat on racks. If you're clipping lingerie on laundry lines, do not clip on bra straps as the weight of the wet garments overstretches the item; instead clip the bras at their 'bones' by the side (rigid support right under the pits).

For rough days and tricky stains, soak your lingerie for 30 minutes - save time if you do this while you're in the shower - before placing them in the machine.
