You've already chosen your lingerie sets to go with your vacation outfits: invisible under your evening dresses, lace for dinners, or ultra-comfortable for walks, not to mention your swimsuits. We've created the complete bra guide so you can learn everything there is to know about this essential piece of lingerie. And to make sure it lasts as long as possible, we've designed a care guide dedicated to bras. With smart storage, storage accessories, and care techniques, you can extend the life of your lingerie with these useful tips.
1. Arrange your lingerie and swimsuits in your suitcase
A smart tip is to fill the cups of bras and swimsuit tops with panties and other body bottoms. In addition to saving space, this prevents the cups from folding in on themselves during travel.
Also remember to put your lingerie and swimsuits last in your suitcase. For lower body, suitcases are generally equipped with a pocket that can be closed with a zipper. As for your large cup bras, it's best to make sure you leave enough space at the top so they don't get crushed.
2. Maintain your lingerie every day
Proper storage of your lingerie is accompanied by good maintenance. Knowing how to properly wash your underwear and swimsuits is essential to ensure their longevity. The care of lingerie for generous breasts and large sizes requires the greatest attention and compliance with certain rules. Here are the most important ones:
- Look at the washing labels on your underwear and follow the directions.
- Prefer washing by hand. If you machine wash your lingerie, use a laundry bag.
- Let your underwear air dry. The dryer and iron should be avoided.
- Do not expose your bras and panties to light as they risk altering their colors.
- Nest your bras one inside the other in your lingerie drawer.
Above all, avoid making the most common mistakes, which can damage your bras!
3. Essential accessories
If you have any doubts about how to store your underwear, don't be afraid to call on accessories, they are there to help you.
• Individual lingerie bags
Slipping your lingerie into an individual bag guarantees you additional protection from other objects that can damage it.
• Portable boxes for bras and bikini tops
Portable boxes can hold up to 3 plus size lingerie tops. Inside the box, the bras should be stacked flat, with the cups on top of each other to preserve their shape.
• Waterproof swimsuit bags
A waterproof swimsuit bag is very useful for preserving your outfits, because it allows you to separate your wet swimsuits from the rest of your belongings.
