Lingerie - Swimsuit Care Part 2

When washing your bras, lingerie, panties or other delicates, we suggest you use a delicate soda-based fabric wash. Regular detergents contain harsh chemicals that breakdown fabrics. You may also hand wash your bras if you wish.

Do not put any bras, lingerie or panties in the dryer. The heat of the dryer will break down the lycra, spandex and elastic, so you will find yourself replacing your all items on more of a regular basis.

Bras do not need to be washed after every wear. However, you should avoid wearing a bra two days in a row. The bra will require a day of rest after wearing to return to its original fit and to breathe. Wearing one bra constantly puts a lot of stress on the fabrics and causes it to rapidly stretch out of shape and to lose its fit.

Replace your bras every several months. Most bras get worn out and do not function as they should after about six months. Panties will last a little longer depending on the material used.

Swimsuit Care

Hand wash the swimsuit prior to the first wear to set the colors

After wearing the swimsuit, hand wash the suit in a mild detergent, rinse well, hang or lay flat to dry out of direct sunlight

Make sure that ALL body and suntan oils are removed from the swimsuit. If not, these oils will destroy the elasticity of the swimsuit!

Don’t leave the suit soaking overnight, bundled, wadded up, or rolled in a towel. This will cause the colors to bleed.

Don’t use Woolite, bleach, or dry the swimsuit in a dryer. All will destroy the elasticity of the suit.
