8 ways to take care of your undies at home

To take care of your underwear at home, you should follow these steps:

1. Sort your underwear by color and fabric type before washing.
2. Use a mild detergent and wash on a gentle cycle, using cold water.
3. Avoid using bleach, as it can damage the fabric and color of your underwear.
4. Avoid using fabric softener, as it can make the fabric less absorbent.
5. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
6. Fold or hang your underwear to avoid stretching or misshaping them.
7. Avoid ironing your underwear, as it can damage the fabric.
8. Always hang to dry.

Whatever you do, don’t put underwear or bras in the dryer. If there is one thing we hope you’ve learnt from this, it’s that the heat is one of the worst things you can do for those wires, elastics, and delicate fabrics. 

It's also important to make sure you're wearing the right size of underwear, as ill-fitting underwear can cause discomfort and chafing.

Handwashing or washing machine?

Apparently, so many prefer the easy life, we would rather choose a washing machine over the former for a couple of reasons. One being, it saves time. 

While it may look cool and fancy, we are here to burst your bubble because it is preferable to handwash than wash in a machine. 

Although, there is an exception – cotton material (Only cotton underwear actually benefits from getting washed in the washing machine). 

While washing machines can be harsh, leading to rips, bent wires, and faded fabrics and the dryer isn't left out too.

Note: It is not totally dangerous to wash your undies in a washing machine. Only that extra care and caution that can be neglected during hand washing needs to be taken note of.
