Bra care: How to make your bra last longer!

Before washing...

1. Check the care label (if it has a hand-wash label, hand-wash it). 2. If it has padding, remove it. 3. Fasten the hook. 4. Place it in a laundry net. Ready to go.

Tips on how to wash

Machine wash

Wash with a weak water flow. (The time from washing to rinsing should be about 5 to 6 minutes.)
If you are using a fully automatic washing machine, use the "soft" or "lingerie" cycle and avoid washing for too long.

Hand washing (recommended!)

If the item contains wires or bones, we recommend hand washing. (Machine washing may cause the wires or bones to break or become deformed.)

Put water or lukewarm water into a large container and dissolve the detergent thoroughly. Try adding your favorite fabric softener! Rinse thoroughly!

* Rubbing or twisting the garment may cause it to lose its shape or damage the material.

Things to note

After towel drying or spin-drying (briefly), dry in the shade immediately. Do not leave the item wet.
While still damp, shape the cups. The delicate lace and fabric are carefully stretched between the palms of your hands.
Dry in a well-ventilated, shady place (on both sides). Direct sunlight can cause yellowing, fading, and damage to the material.

How to fold and store your bra

How to fold

*If you fold a bra with a urethane cup in half, the cup will be crushed, so be sure to fold it in this way.

How to store

To maintain the functionality and feel of your bra for a long time, it is important to handle it carefully when storing it, paying attention to the following points.

Even the slightest bit of moisture remaining can cause wrinkles, discoloration, and mold, so be sure to dry it thoroughly before storing it.
Ideally, you should store your underwear in a drawer that is dedicated to underwear, so that you can easily access them. If you pack your bras too tightly, the cups of the bras may become misshapen or wrinkled, so fold them correctly and store them loosely.
If you are storing it until the next season, make sure it is well ventilated and dry so that no moisture remains. Avoid storing it for a long period of time in a sealed plastic bag, as this can cause it to become stuffy. For silk and wool, use an insect repellent. Wool does not like moisture, so store it with a desiccant as well.

How to care for your cotton underwear to make it comfortable to wear!

Before washing...

Check the washing instructions (if there is a hand wash instruction, hand wash it)

Tips on how to wash

Wash as soon as possible!

Even if it doesn't look dirty at first glance, underwear worn all day will have absorbed sweat and dust. The longer you leave the dirt on it, the harder it will be to remove, so we recommend washing it as soon as possible after taking it off (this is important!)
Shape it and hang it out to dry!

First, stretch the fabric vertically, which is less likely to stretch, then horizontally, which is more likely to stretch, carefully adjusting the shape before hanging it up to dry. This will help prevent wrinkles and deformation.
Give it a few days off!

Let your underwear rest for a few days after wearing it to allow the threads to recover sufficiently. Rotating your favorite underwear will make it last longer than wearing it every day. For this reason, keep several pairs of underwear on hand.
When using bleach...

If you use chlorine bleach, dissolve it in lukewarm water or cold water before washing your laundry.

*Chlorine bleach will whiten the fabric, but it will also remove the cotton wax (a natural wax that cotton naturally has), which can damage the fabric and shorten the lifespan of the product, so please be careful!

*When using bleach, be sure to check the washing instructions.

Replacement sign

Underwear also has a lifespan. The sign is when the fabric starts to thin and become thinner! You might think, "But it's not torn yet...", but the comfort and moisture absorption properties are decreasing, so it's time to replace it with a new one.

Tips on how to wash

Can be washed at home

If you use a washing machine, we recommend that you wash it in a laundry net.

*If you use a drum-type washing machine, we recommend using the "hand wash mode" as the fabric is more likely to shrink or lose its shape.
We recommend using additive-free detergents.

In order to enjoy the soft texture of the beige for as long as possible, we recommend using detergents that do not contain additives. We do not recommend detergents that contain chlorine bleach or fluorescent whitening agents, as they can cause the color to fade and damage the texture of the fabric.

*Please refrain from using bleach or fabric softener as they may damage the fabric and cause pilling.
Dry in a shady, well-ventilated place

Since the product is not shrink-proofed, it may shrink slightly after washing. We recommend that you adjust the shape of the product and hang it out to dry in a shady, well-ventilated place.
