Quick answer
Wash your EcoSurplus EveryMan boxer briefs in cold water on a gentle cycle, then air dry flat to protect the bamboo rayon fabric and waistband elasticity.
Why care matters for EcoSurplus
EcoSurplus garments use 1st grade surplus fabric and waistband, so production quality is identical to regular production. However, the bamboo rayon/lycra blend requires gentle handling to maintain its 4-way stretch and soft feel. Harsh washing or high heat can break down the fibers faster.
Step-by-step care routine
- Turn inside out before washing: Turn the boxer briefs inside out to reduce friction on the outer fabric and protect the printed care label from abrasion. Common mistake: washing right-side out can cause pilling on the bamboo rayon surface.
- Wash in cold water on gentle cycle: Use a mesh laundry bag if possible. Cold water preserves the 4-way stretch and prevents shrinkage. Skip fabric softener—it coats the fibers and reduces moisture-wicking ability. Checkpoint: if you must use warm water, keep it below 86°F (30°C) to avoid damaging the lycra.
- Air dry flat, never tumble dry: Lay the boxer briefs flat on a drying rack away from direct sunlight. Tumble drying on high heat will break down the elastic waistband and shorten the garment's life. Common mistake: hanging by the waistband can stretch it out. Always lay flat.
