General Care Instructions

Always Check Labels

Read care labels carefully before washing. Different materials may have specific requirements for optimal care.

Separate by Color

Wash light and dark colors separately to prevent bleeding and maintain the vibrancy of your garments.

Use Gentle Detergents

Choose mild, fragrance-free detergents to protect delicate fabrics and maintain skin comfort.

Underwear Care

1

Pre-wash Preparation

Turn underwear inside out to protect the outer surface and any decorative elements during washing.

2

Water Temperature

Use cold water (30°C or below) to prevent shrinking and maintain elasticity of elastic bands.

3

Washing Cycle

Select a gentle or delicate cycle with reduced agitation to minimize wear and tear on delicate fabrics.

4

Drying

Air dry by laying flat or hanging. Avoid direct sunlight and never use high heat settings in the dryer.

Tights & Hosiery Care

Before Wearing

  • Check for any snags or rough surfaces on nails and jewelry
  • Put on tights when sitting down to reduce stress on the fabric
  • Roll tights up from the toe, then gradually unroll up the leg

Washing Instructions

  • Hand wash in cool water with gentle detergent when possible
  • If machine washing, use a mesh laundry bag for protection
  • Never wring or twist tights - gently squeeze out excess water
  • Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue

Drying & Storage

  • Lay flat on a towel to air dry away from direct heat
  • Store flat in drawers or hanging on specialized hosiery hangers
  • Keep away from rough surfaces that could cause snags

Sock Care

Washing Guidelines

Socks are generally more durable than other intimate apparel, but proper care extends their life significantly:

  • Turn socks inside out before washing to clean the interior thoroughly
  • Wash in warm water (40°C) for cotton socks, cool for synthetic blends
  • Use regular detergent but avoid fabric softeners on athletic socks
  • Machine dry on medium heat or air dry for best results

Special Care for Different Materials

Wool Socks

Use wool-specific detergent and cold water. Air dry only to prevent shrinking.

Athletic/Performance Socks

Wash after each wear. Use antibacterial detergent if available. Avoid fabric softeners.

Compression Socks

Hand wash or use gentle cycle. Air dry to maintain compression properties.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Elastic Band Stretching

Cause: Hot water washing or high-heat drying

Prevention: Always use cold water and air dry elastic garments

Solution: Unfortunately, stretched elastic cannot be restored. Replace when comfort is compromised.

Fabric Pilling

Cause: Friction during washing or wearing

Prevention: Wash inside out, use gentle cycles, avoid over-washing

Solution: Use a fabric shaver or pill remover carefully on affected areas

Color Fading

Cause: Hot water, harsh detergents, or sun exposure

Prevention: Cold water washing, mild detergents, indoor drying

Solution: Color-safe bleach alternatives may help restore some vibrancy

Tights Running

Cause: Snags from rough surfaces or improper handling

Prevention: Careful application, nail maintenance, proper storage

Solution: Clear nail polish on small runs can prevent further damage
