Lingerie & Nightwear Care Mistakes

Machine wash, dryer, hot water — these care mistakes destroy fabric life.

Proper care can extend your lingerie's life by years. Learn these 6 common washing mistakes and avoid them from today.

6 Common Care Mistakes

01
🫧
Putting a bra directly in the machine
Fabric Killer

Regular machine washing bends the underwire, stretches the elastic and ruins the cup shape. Damage can happen in just one wash.

🔍 Signs to look for
Underwire starting to poke out
Cups wrinkling or flattening
Elastic loosening quickly
What to do
Always hand wash bras or use a mesh lingerie bag on a delicate cycle with cold water.
02
🌡️
Washing in hot water
Elastic Killer

Hot water permanently damages elastic, shrinks cotton and fades colours. People think hot washing is cleaner — this is wrong.

🔍 Signs to look for
Fabric has shrunk after washing
Colours starting to fade
Elastic has lost its stretch
What to do
Always use cold or lukewarm water. Use a gentle liquid detergent — powder is harsh on delicate fabric.
03
🔥
Putting in the dryer
Worst of All

Heat is the worst enemy of both elastic and synthetic fabric. One dryer cycle can permanently destroy the elasticity of a bra or night suit.

🔍 Signs to look for
Elastic and fabric have shrunk
Synthetic fabric has warped or melted
Shape permanently ruined
What to do
Always air dry flat or in an inverted position. Direct sunlight also fades colour — dry in the shade.
04
🌀
Wringing out the water
Shape Ruiner

Twisting a bra permanently distorts the cups and bends the underwire. Twisting also weakens the fabric of a night suit.

🔍 Signs to look for
Cups have lost their shape
Underwire bent more on one side
Seams have loosened
What to do
Gently press with both hands to remove water. Then wrap in a clean towel and gently dab — never twist.
05
⚗️
Using bleach or harsh detergent
Fabric Destroyer

Bleach permanently weakens fabric fibres — even for white pieces. Harsh powder detergent creates micro-tears in delicate fabric.

🔍 Signs to look for
Fabric has become thin and see-through
Holes or tears appearing
Colour has become uneven
What to do
Always use lingerie-specific or gentle baby detergent. Baking soda + cold water is a safe alternative for white pieces.
06
🔁
Washing after every single wear
Over-washing

Too much washing also shortens fabric life. A bra should be washed after 2-3 wears. A night suit after 1-2 wears.

🔍 Signs to look for
Fabric wearing out unusually fast
Colours fading quickly
Fabric losing its softness
What to do
Bra: wash after 2-3 wears. Night suit: after 1-2 wears. Air out a bra for 24 hours between wears.

Quick Checklist

Hand washed or used mesh bag
Used cold water
Avoided the dryer
Did not twist

Did not over-wash
