Lingerie Care 101: How to Wash and Store Your Sets Like a Pro

Your lingerie isn’t just a wardrobe essential — it’s a confidence booster, a comfort piece, and sometimes even a style statement. But are you caring for your delicate sets the way they deserve? Whether you’ve just bought a luxurious MiEstilo lingerie set or have a drawer full of favorites, lingerie care is key to keeping them looking beautiful and lasting longer.

Here’s your ultimate guide on how to wash and store lingerie like a pro.

Why Proper Lingerie Care Matters

Lingerie is often made from delicate fabrics like lace, silk, and satin, which are not only sensitive to rough handling but also prone to wear and tear if not cared for properly. Proper washing and storage help maintain their shape, elasticity, and color — so your intimate wear remains as gorgeous and comfy as the day you bought it.

🧺 How to Wash Lingerie the Right Way

1. Hand Wash Is Always Best

• Fill a basin with lukewarm water.
• Add a gentle detergent (preferably lingerie-specific).
• Soak for 5–10 minutes.
• Gently rub areas like straps or underwires.
• Rinse thoroughly in cool water.

Pro Tip: Avoid harsh wringing. Gently press out the water instead.

2. Machine Wash? Use a Lingerie Bag!

If you’re short on time:

• Use a mesh lingerie bag.
• Select the delicate or gentle cycle.
• Wash with cold water and mild detergent.
• Skip the spin cycle if possible.

3. Avoid the Dryer at All Costs

• Heat can destroy elastic and distort fabric.
• Lay your lingerie flat on a towel to air dry.
• For bras, always reshape the cups before drying.

🧦 How to Store Lingerie to Prevent Damage

1. Lay Bras Flat

• Never fold one cup into the other.
• Stack them in a drawer to keep their shape.
• Use drawer dividers for better organization.

2. Use Soft Drawer Liners

• Prevents snagging on wood or other surfaces.
• Keeps lace and silk in pristine condition.

3. Separate by Type

• Keep bras, panties, shapewear, and loungewear in separate sections.
• Helps with quick access and prevents stretching or tangling.

💡 Bonus Tips

• Rotate your lingerie sets. Frequent use shortens their lifespan.
• Avoid fabric softeners. They can break down delicate fibers.
• Traveling? Use a padded lingerie pouch to avoid crushing cups or tearing lace.
