How to take care of your lingerie ?
The golden rules for maintaining your lingerie
Are you a fan of beautiful lingerie? Do you want to keep your underwear in good condition for as long as possible? Then there's no secret: you have to take care of it! Indeed, your underwear is often made of fine and delicate materials, such as lace, which require certain precautions. Here are some tips to pamper your lingerie and avoid those common mistakes.
The basic rules
Before anything else, remember to check the label sewn inside your lingerie and look at the care symbols to avoid any damage or unpleasant surprises.
Prefer hand washing
Wash your lingerie in lukewarm water, carefully separating colors, and using a detergent for delicate fabrics. Rinse thoroughly afterward.
Keep the temperature low
When washing by hand, soak your lingerie in lukewarm water to avoid damaging the fabric.
If using a washing machine, always select a delicate cycle (30°C / 86°F).
Gently wring out
Be careful not to twist the fabric when wringing your lingerie. Instead, gently press out the water to prevent distortion or loss of elasticity.
Air dry your lingerie
Never put your lingerie in the dryer, as it can cause serious damage!
Instead, air dry it by hanging it on a drying rack, away from direct sunlight.
WARNING: Never iron your lingerie! The fabrics are too delicate and will be permanently damaged.

Have you remembered to close the hooks?
When washing your lingerie in the machine, make sure to fasten the hooks on your bras to avoid damaging other garments. Place everything in a mesh laundry bag to better protect your lingerie.

How often should I wash my lingerie?
Your underwear (panties, briefs, etc.) should be washed after every use.
For bras, we recommend washing after every 2 to 3 wears, though the frequency is up to you.
How to care for your bra?
To properly care for your bra, wash it by hand or in the machine inside a mesh laundry bag, on a low-temperature cycle (30°C / 86°F max), using a gentle detergent.
Avoid the dryer — instead, air dry it on a rack and store it flat without twisting.
Also, remember to close the hooks to prevent damaging your other garments.
Can I wash my underwear in the machine?
Yes, you can — but make sure to: use a detergent for delicate fabrics, place your lingerie in a mesh laundry bag (and close bra hooks), choose a low-temperature cycle (30°C / 86°F) and use a gentle spin cycle.
How to store your lingerie
To protect your bras even in your drawer, don’t fold them — lay them flat instead.
This is especially important for padded bras to keep their shape and prevent damage.
How to care for your swimsuit
After each use, rinse your swimsuit with clean water to remove chlorine or salt residue, which can affect the colors.
Once your vacation is over, or whenever needed, wash it by hand or in the machine on a low-temperature cycle (30°C / 86°F).
TIP: Do not leave your swimsuit soaking in water, as this may cause the colors to bleed.
