Underwear Washing Instructions.   

Hand Wash Your Underwear
Hand washing your panties will make them last longer. Though hand-washing is time-consuming, it increases the lifespan of your panties and also kills the bacteria and germs. So, hand wash your underwear if you want it to stay in good shape.

How to Hand Wash Underwear Correctly? 

        
  • Some panties will shed colours while washing, so make sure to wash your panties separately. 
(Note: Washing your panties separately or altogether is all your personal preference)  
  • Fill a bucket with lukewarm water. 
  • Add mild detergent or mild laundry sanitiser.  
     
  • Put your underwear on and let them soak for 30 minutes. 
  • Rinse your panties for several minutes and make sure all the detergent has been removed. 
       
  •    Now gently squeeze out the water and hang it up to dry. 

Machine Wash Your Underwear 

        If time is your main concern, you can wash your underwear in the machine. But remember, washing machines are not underwear-friendly. Swishing around the drum can damage your underwear as they are made with soft fabrics. After several machine washes, panties will have holes in them. Machine washes also require a lot of water, which is an added disadvantage. The only advantage of machine washing your panties is that it saves time.

How to Machine Wash Underwear?

         Different panties need different washing cycles. 
  • Avoid washing your underwear with other clothes. If you’re doing so, use a laundry bag.
  •  If there are any stains, pre-treat them immediately before putting your underwear into the washing machine.
  • Use mild detergent or mild laundry sanitize.
       
  • Turn your underwear inside out. 
  • Keep the washing machine on the gentle/delicate cycle. 
  • Now gently squeeze out the water and hang it up to dry. 
Pro Tip: Avoid using your panties till they get holes because of wear and tear. Make sure you replace them every 6 months or so, depending on the frequency of usage.
