Underwear is the one piece of clothing we wear every single day, yet it’s often the one we take least care of. Many people wonder why their favorite panties lose shape, softness, or elasticity after just a few washes. The truth is, proper lingerie care is simple—it’s all about understanding fabrics, using gentle washing methods, and giving your underwear the attention it deserves.
At Prismoro, we believe that every woman deserves lingerie that stays soft, beautiful, and comfortable over time. Whether your underwear is made from breathable cotton, silky modal, or delicate lace, the way you wash and dry it makes all the difference. The first step is to understand your fabric. Cotton underwear is durable and naturally breathable, but it can shrink or stiffen when washed in hot water. Modal and bamboo blends are known for their silky smooth texture, but they need a gentle cycle to stay that way. Lace panties are the most delicate; their fine fibers can easily snag or lose shape if handled roughly. Knowing the right care routine for each fabric helps preserve softness, color, and stretch.
Hand washing is always the best option for keeping your underwear in its best condition. Fill a small basin with lukewarm water, add a mild detergent, and gently swirl your panties for a few minutes. Avoid rubbing or wringing them—simply squeeze the water out gently. If you prefer to use a washing machine, place your underwear in a mesh laundry bag, use a gentle or delicate cycle, and wash with cold or warm water. Avoid bleach or strong detergents, as they can damage the lace and elastic over time. For mixed loads, avoid washing delicate panties with rough fabrics like jeans or towels, which can cause friction and wear.
After washing, always air dry. Heat is the number one enemy of lingerie; it breaks down the elastic fibers that make your underwear comfortable and flexible. Gently press out excess water with a clean towel and reshape your panties before hanging them or laying them flat to dry in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight, as UV exposure can fade colors and weaken the material. Air drying may take longer, but it will help your underwear stay soft, breathable, and beautifully shaped for much longer.
Keeping your lingerie fresh doesn’t stop at washing. Store clean underwear in a dry, well-ventilated drawer lined with cotton fabric. Adding a lavender sachet or a cedar block can keep things smelling pleasant while naturally absorbing moisture. Small touches like these give your drawer a luxurious, boutique feel and help extend the freshness of your pieces between wears.
There are also a few common mistakes that can shorten the lifespan of your underwear. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they leave a coating that reduces breathability. Don’t tumble dry or use high spin cycles, since they stretch the elastic. Skip hanging lace lingerie by the straps, as it can deform the shape. And try to separate your delicate fabrics from rougher clothing to avoid unnecessary abrasion.
Taking care of your underwear isn’t just about maintaining fabric—it’s also about maintaining confidence. When your lingerie feels soft, fits perfectly, and looks as beautiful as the day you bought it, it changes how you feel about yourself. At Prismoro, we create underwear that celebrates both comfort and confidence, using premium breathable cotton blends, soft lace, and thoughtful stitching. But even the best-made panties need gentle care to stay perfect.
By adopting small, consistent care habits, you can make your lingerie last much longer and keep it feeling like new. Hand wash when you can, air dry always, and treat your delicate fabrics kindly. Whether you love your cotton panties, lace briefs, or modal bikinis, a little extra care will go a long way. Prismoro believes that comfort and confidence start from within—and that begins with how you care for the pieces closest to you.
