Caring for your Lingerie

Caring for your Lingerie

With lockdowns in operation worldwide due to the Coronavirus pandemic, when there’s not much to do, people are using their time to organize and clear out their clothing.  Lingerie is different to other clothing because it features delicate materials, wires, lace, ribbon, and straps, you can’t just throw it into the washing machine with everything else and shove it away when it’s clean! We thought it would be a good idea to give you some tips on how to care for your Satin Boutique lingerie so that when you store it back in your wardrobe or dresser, it’s perfectly preserved for the next time you wear it.  Read on to know how to care for your lingerie.

• Wash Bras Every Other Day

While you must wash your panties every day, if you shower daily then you shouldn’t need to was your bras every day too.  Over-washing them will break them down so they won’t provide the best type of support, also too much washing can cause bras to fray as well as delicate lace to unravel.  For very dainty and decorative garments, it’s best to handwash.  However, if you find you just don’t have time, then fasten each of your bras and place in a net or a pillowcase and put them in the most delicate wash you have.  Always hang them out to dry (never use a dryer!).  Want to update your bras?  This extra-elegant Floral Mesh and extremely delicate bra and panty set is ideal for spring/summer! https://satin-boutique.com/products/li312-2pc-bra-set?_pos=4&_sid=0651a90d2&_ss=r

• Store Lingerie in Tissue

Rather than throwing everything into a dresser all higgledy-piggledy, it’s best to store your bras and panties in acid-free white tissue paper.  Gently fold them together and wrap the strap around the cups, then place in tissue and put away, alternatively, place each bra into a polythene food bag for protection.  Want to update your panties?

• Keep your Underwear in Color-Co-ordinated Sets

For ease, it’s best to keep your undies in colors so that you can grab something that matches your outfit quickly, especially when you’re in a rush.  So, keep your blacks together, your reds together, your pastels together, your nudes and your whites all in separate, neat piles.

• Hang your Babydolls!

Don’t fold your babydolls small, they easily crease. If you have space, hang them up in your closet on padded hangers.  If you just don’t have the space to keep them in your closet, then you can fold them carefully and place them in acid-free tissue to avoid creases.  Need a new babydoll for spring and summer?  We recommend this stunning, lacy ivory babydoll featuring a satin bow and tiny shoe-string straps, it also has a matching G-string, buy yours here: https://satin-boutique.com/products/stunning-lacy-babydoll-with-adorable-satin-bow-also-in-plus-sizes?_pos=6&_sid=efe355560&_ss=r
