Quick Answer
To keep your sugarplum high-rise undies vibrant and fitting well, wash them inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle and always air dry. Avoid bleach and high heat.
Why Sugarplum Needs Special Care
The sugarplum color is a rich, deep plum that can fade if not handled correctly. Because these undies are made from 92% organic cotton with a touch of spandex, they are prone to color loss in hot water and can lose their shape in a dryer. The bound-edge construction also needs gentle treatment to prevent fraying.
5 Steps to Care for Sugarplum High-Rise Undies
- 1. Turn Inside Out: Before washing, turn your undies inside out. This protects the outer color from friction and keeps the bound edges from pilling. Common mistake: Washing right-side out can cause the vibrant sugarplum color to fade faster.
- 2. Use Cold Water & Gentle Cycle: Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild, color-safe detergent. Hot water can cause the deep plum dye to run or fade. Checkpoint: Avoid bleach or fabric softeners—they can damage the cotton fibers and spandex.
- 3. Skip the Dryer: Air dry your undies flat or on a drying rack. The heat from a dryer can shrink the cotton and break down the spandex, ruining the high-rise fit. Common mistake: Tumble drying on low heat still risks damage over time; air drying is safest.
- 4. Wash with Similar Colors: Always wash your sugarplum undies with other dark or colored items. Washing with whites or lights can cause color transfer. Checkpoint: A first wash with a color-catching sheet can help set the dye.
- 5. Store Gently: Fold your undies and store them in a drawer away from direct sunlight, which can bleach the color over time. Checkpoint: Avoid hanging them by the elastic band, as gravity can stretch it out.
