Caring for Your Intimates

A Little Love Goes a Long Way
We believe that your Unndr sets are more than just beautiful layers; they're investments in your comfort and confidence. Just like your favourite sweater or that cherished piece of jewellery, your lingerie deserves a little TLC to keep it looking and feeling its best for longer. Proper care preserves the delicate fabrics and intricate details and ensures your intimates continue to provide the support and comfort you love.
So, how can you show your Unndr pieces the care they deserve? It’s simpler than you might think!
The Gentle Hand Wash:
While the washing machine might seem like a convenient option, hand washing is undoubtedly the gentlest way to clean your delicate lingerie. The friction and harshness of a machine cycle can damage delicate lace, stretch elastic, and snag embellishments.
-
Fill a clean basin or sink with lukewarm water.
-
Add a mild detergent specifically designed for delicates. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can break down delicate fibres and fade colours.
-
Submerge your lingerie and gently swirl it in the water. Allow it to soak for a few minutes, but no longer than 30 minutes.
-
Gently massage the fabric to release any dirt or oils. Pay extra attention to areas that come into direct contact with your skin.
-
Rinse thoroughly under cool, running water until all traces of detergent are gone. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric, as this can damage its shape and elasticity.
The Art of Drying:
Drying your lingerie correctly is just as crucial as washing it gently.
-
Never put your lingerie in the dryer! The high heat will cause elastic to break down, lace to lose its shape, and delicate fabrics to shrink or become brittle.
-
Gently press out excess water without twisting.
-
Lay your lingerie flat on a clean, absorbent towel. Roll the towel up to absorb more moisture, then unroll and lay the lingerie flat to air dry completely.
-
Alternatively, you can hang delicate items like bras by their centre gore (the small piece between the cups) or lay them flat on a drying rack. Avoid hanging them by the straps, as this can stretch them out.
-
Keep your lingerie away from direct sunlight or heat sources while drying, as this can cause colours to fade and damage the fibres.
Storage Savvy:
How you store your lingerie can also impact its longevity.
-
Ideally, store bras flat in a drawer to maintain their shape. If space is limited, you can stack them with one cup inside the other, ensuring the cups retain their form. Avoid folding or crushing the cups.
-
Fold panties neatly and store them in a separate drawer or compartment.
-
Keep delicate lace items separate from pieces with hooks or embellishments that could snag them. Consider using individual lingerie bags for extra protection.
A Little Extra Love:
-
Be mindful when wearing: Avoid snagging your lingerie on jewellery or rough surfaces.
-
Rotate your pieces: Don't wear the same set every day. Giving your lingerie a break allows the elastic to recover and prolongs its lifespan.
-
Treat stains promptly: If you notice a stain, address it as soon as possible with a gentle stain remover designed for delicates.
Caring for your Unndr intimates might seem like a little extra effort, but the reward is lingerie that continues to look and feel beautiful, supporting you in your self-care journey for longer. By following these simple steps, you’re not just cleaning fabric; you’re preserving the comfort, the confidence, and the little moments of self-love that your Unndr sets represent. So, treat your delicates with kindness, and they’ll continue to make you feel amazing, inside and out.
