How to wash underwear?

Women's and men's underwear are items that come into direct contact with the skin and, for this reason, are washed more frequently than other garments . Proper care during washing is essential to keep fabrics hygienic, fresh, and durable over time, without compromising comfort and elasticity.

How to wash underwear in the washing machine and at what degrees?

Washing underwear in the washing machine is quick and easy, but it requires some care to avoid damaging the garments. To protect delicate fabrics like lace, microfibers, or seamless garments, it's recommended to use a laundry bag . Choose a delicate cycle , with short cycles and a low spin speed, so as not to stress the fabric. Additionally, always use a neutral detergent or one specifically designed for underwear, avoiding harsh bleaches.

Choosing the right temperature is also crucial to keeping underwear in good condition for a long time. Stretchy fibers, like those found in seamless underwear, require lower temperatures to maintain their shape and comfort. In general:

  • 30-40°C : ideal for preserving the elasticity and shape of the most delicate fabrics.

  • 60°C : recommended only for cotton underwear or items that require greater sanitization, and always following the instructions on the label.

How to hand wash underwear?

Hand washing is the most delicate and suitable choice for those who want to preserve their intimate items for longer.

  • Warm water : do not exceed 30°C to avoid damaging the elastic fibres and colours.
  • Mild soap : choose neutral detergents, preferably liquid, which do not leave aggressive residues.
  • Gentle movements : leave the garments to soak for a few minutes, then rub them lightly without twisting them.
  • Rinse thoroughly : remove all traces of soap to avoid irritation on contact with the skin.

Finally, when drying, avoid using the dryer : hang your underwear out to air, away from direct heat sources, to preserve elasticity and comfort.
