Quick Answer
To keep your Bio High Waist Brief soft and supportive, hand wash it in cold water with a gentle detergent, lay it flat to dry, and store it folded in a drawer.
Why gentle care matters for mesh and organza
The Bio High Waist Brief features a mesh lining through the front and smooth organza waistband and leg trims. These delicate materials can snag or lose their shape if treated roughly.
Machine washing and tumble drying put stress on the elastic and mesh, which can cause the waistband to twist or the fabric to pill. A little extra care goes a long way in maintaining the brief's comfort and fit.
Step-by-Step Care Routine
- Hand wash in cold water: Fill a basin with cold water and add a small amount of gentle detergent. Submerge the brief and gently squeeze the water through the fabric. Avoid scrubbing or twisting, which can stretch the mesh. Check the care label first—some detergents are too harsh for delicate fabrics.
- Rinse thoroughly: Drain the soapy water and refill with clean cold water. Swish the brief gently to remove all detergent residue. Repeat if needed. Residue can irritate skin and break down elastic over time. Rinse until the water runs clear to prevent buildup.
- Press out excess water: Lay the brief on a clean, dry towel and roll it up. Press gently to absorb moisture. Do not wring or twist the fabric, as this can damage the mesh and organza trims. Rolling in a towel speeds up drying without stressing the fibers.
- Dry flat, away from heat: Place the brief flat on a drying rack or towel in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight and never use a tumble dryer, as heat can shrink the fabric and damage the elastic. Hanging by the waistband can stretch it out—always dry flat.
- Store folded in a drawer: Once completely dry, fold the brief neatly and place it in a drawer with other delicates. Avoid cramming it into tight spaces or hanging it, which can distort the waistband and leg trims. Keep it separate from items with hooks or zippers to prevent snags.
