Quick Answer

Hand wash your fishnet lingerie in cool water with a mild detergent, then lay it flat to dry. Store it folded in a drawer or hung by the waistband to prevent snags and stretching.

Why Fishnet Needs Special Care

Fishnet lingerie is made from delicate mesh fabric—often a blend of nylon and spandex like the 92% nylon and 8% spandex used in the Women's Naughty Fishnet Lingerie Set. This construction gives it stretch and a seductive look, but the open weave is prone to snagging on rough surfaces, jewelry, or even other laundry. A little extra attention during washing and storage keeps the fabric smooth and the fit consistent.

The high-waisted Fishnet Bodystocking is designed to hug your curves, but if you toss it in a washing machine or wring it out, the elastic can lose its shape. Treat fishnet pieces like the delicate garments they are, and they will last through many wears.

How to Wash and Store Fishnet Lingerie

  1. Hand Wash in Cool Water: Fill a basin with cool water and add a small amount of mild detergent (baby shampoo or lingerie wash works well). Submerge the fishnet piece and gently swish it for 2–3 minutes. Do not rub or scrub the fabric. Common mistake: using hot water or regular detergent can weaken the spandex fibers. Stick to cool water and a gentle soap.
  2. Rinse and Press Out Water: Drain the soapy water and refill with cool clean water. Swish again to remove all detergent. Lift the garment out and gently press it between your palms or against the side of the basin to remove excess water. Checkpoint: never wring or twist the fabric. Wringing can break the mesh threads and distort the shape permanently.
  3. Dry Flat on a Towel: Lay a clean, dry towel on a flat surface and place the wet fishnet on top. Roll the towel up with the garment inside and press gently to absorb moisture. Then unroll and let the fishnet air dry flat, away from direct sunlight and heat. Common mistake: hanging fishnet to dry. The weight of the wet fabric can stretch out the waistband and leg openings. Always dry flat.
  4. Store Folded or Hung by the Waistband: Once completely dry, fold the fishnet piece loosely and place it in a drawer. If you prefer hanging, use a padded hanger and clip it by the waistband only—never by the mesh body. Checkpoint: avoid storing fishnet near rough zippers or hooks. A separate lingerie bag or drawer compartment prevents accidental snags.
