How To Wash And Care For Your Shapewear

How to wear your shapewear?

For those embracing shapewear as part of their daily attire, consider having a trio in your wardrobe: one to wear, one in the wash, and one spare. Remember, even if it’s worn over your undergarments, it's in direct contact with your skin, so aim to wash it after two uses.

Consider matching sets of shapewear pieces for those unexpected occasions. Having a minimum of two matching body-shaping panties/shorts and tops/bras ensures you’re always prepared for any occasion that may arise.

How to wash your shapewear?

• 1. Use cold or warm water, as hot water can harm the fabric.
• 2. Use a mild detergent, avoiding bleach or fabric softener whenever possible.
• 3. Handle with care - avoid excessive scrubbing, as friction can damage the fabric and affect elasticity.
• 4. Air Dry - too much heat can permanently damage the fabric’s elasticity.

Machine Washing Process:

• 1. Set the cycle - the number 1 rule: gentle cycle only.
• 2. Use cold or warm water - hot water can damage your shapewear’s fabric. Use mild detergent too.
• 3. Place them inside a washbag - this helps protect your shapewear’s fabric.
• 4. Air Dry - too much heat can permanently damage the fabric’s elasticity.

Caring for your shapewear isn’t really that hard. If you take all of these tips into consideration your shapewear’s going to last much, MUCH longer. So it’s not really just about taking care of your shapewear - it’s your pocket we’re also thinking about!
