Cotton Lingerie Care
Qualities
Well-known for its comfort and breath ability, cotton is also durable and easy
to care for. Beware of excessive shrinkage. Sometimes, taking
a larger size is suggested. No matter what material your panties are
made from, a cotton gusset is always recommended. Elastic, supple,
absorbs warmth and humidity.
Care
No restrictions, withstands high temperatures and
can be machine washed. Washing shrinkage between 3 and 5%. Creases
therefore require ironing.
LYCRA/SPANDEX Care Guidelines
Qualities
Usually blended with nylon, polyester, silk or cotton, it gives garments stretch
and flexibility. Don’t get discouraged if your garment is not
100% cotton, a touch of Spandex is beneficial for fit and shape retention.
Care
Machine washable at medium temperature. Does not
crease easily, no ironing. Cannot withstand hot irons ( they
melt! ).
Polyester Lingerie Care Guidelines
Qualities
Strong and quick drying attributes make this a very popular lingerie material. Higher
quality polyester and those blended with Lycra tend to feel better next to
the skin and fit the body well.
Care
Machine washable at medium temperature. Does not crease easily,
no ironing. Cannot withstand hot irons ( they melt! ).
Silk Lingerie Care Guidelines

drapes beautifully and feels great against the body. Extreme softness
and shine. Produces fabrics with incomparable beauty and hang. Thermo
protective.
Care
Gentle in order to preserve its qualities. Hand wash in
cool water: use mild soap powders. Sensitive to heat (therefore
colourfast problems) and rough treatment. Wash colour separately. Prints:
dry flat. Do not soak. Creases.
lingerie care guide
Hand washing lingerie with mild soap is highly recommended. Machine washing may be too harsh on delicate embroideries. Hooks may snag intricate laces. Hang to dry or reshape and dry flat. We're sure you will treasure your fine lingerie for years to come.
Fabric does more that make your lingerie look beautiful, it determines how it feels next to your skin and how well it fits your body.
