Care guide
How to wash, dry and store bras, panties and silk so they keep their shape and last longer.
Bras
- Hand wash cold with a gentle detergent; never wring the cups.
- Fasten the hooks before washing to stop snagging.
- Reshape the cups and dry flat, away from direct sun and radiators.
- Give each bra a rest day; elastic recovers between wears.
Panties
- Machine wash cold in a laundry bag, or hand wash.
- Do not use fabric softener on cotton gussets.
- Dry flat or line dry; avoid the tumble dryer.
- Replace when the gusset or elastic starts to go — usually 9–12 months of regular wear.
Silk
- Hand wash cold with a pH-neutral silk detergent, or dry clean.
- Do not soak, bleach or wring. Roll in a towel to remove water.
- Dry flat in shade; iron on low inside out while slightly damp.
Storage
Store bras flat with the cups nested, not one cup inside the other. Keep panties folded in a drawer; do not hang by the elastic.
Rotation
Three bras in rotation will last far longer than one worn every day. Wash after 2–3 wears, not every wear, unless you have been sweating heavily.
