Quick Answer

Hand wash your Minna Bodysuit in cool water with a gentle lingerie detergent, then lay it flat to dry to preserve the floral lace and mesh panels.

Why Gentle Care Matters for the Minna Bodysuit

The Minna Bodysuit combines sleek microfiber panels with delicate floral lace and stretch mesh. These materials need a softer touch than your everyday laundry. Machine washing or harsh detergents can snag the lace, stretch out the mesh, or cause the microfiber to pill. Taking a few extra minutes for hand washing keeps the fit snug and the details sharp.

Step-by-Step Minna Bodysuit Care Routine

  1. Prepare the Wash: Fill a basin with cool or lukewarm water and add a capful of gentle lingerie detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softener — they break down elastic fibers and dull the lace. Hot water can shrink the microfiber panels, so always use cool water.
  2. Submerge and Gently Swish: Place the bodysuit in the water and gently swish it for 2-3 minutes. Pay extra attention to the gusset area but do not rub or twist the lace. Let it soak for up to 10 minutes if needed. Rubbing or twisting can stretch the mesh and distort the floral lace pattern.
  3. Rinse Thoroughly: Drain the soapy water and refill with cool, clean water. Swish the bodysuit again until no suds remain. Repeat if necessary — leftover detergent can irritate skin and attract dirt. Residual detergent is a common cause of skin irritation from lingerie.
  4. Remove Excess Water Without Wringing: Lift the bodysuit out of the water and gently press it against the side of the basin to release water. Then roll it in a clean, dry towel and press to absorb moisture. Never wring or twist. Wringing breaks the elastic threads, leading to a loose fit over time.
  5. Dry Flat, Away from Heat: Lay the bodysuit flat on a drying rack or a clean towel, reshaping the lace and straps as needed. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from radiators. Do not hang it — the weight of wet fabric can stretch the bodysuit out of shape. Hanging wet lingerie is the fastest way to lose the snug fit you paid for.
  6. Store with Care: Once fully dry, fold the bodysuit and store it in a drawer with other delicates. Avoid hanging it on a thin hanger, which can leave marks on the mesh and stretch the straps over time. A dedicated lingerie drawer or fabric-lined box keeps the lace from snagging on other items.
