Quick answer
Hand wash your String Thong 2.0 in cold water with a gentle detergent, then lay it flat to dry. Avoid wringing and machine drying to keep the elastic and soft TENCEL™ fibers intact.
Why gentle care matters
The String Thong 2.0 is made with super-soft TENCEL™ fibers and a soft, stretchy elasticated waistband. Aggressive washing or high heat can break down these delicate materials, leading to stretching, loss of shape, and reduced comfort.
Even if the care label allows machine washing, the safest way to preserve the fit and feel is by hand. This is especially important for a minimal style like a thong, where every inch of fabric and elastic matters.
Common mistakes to avoid
Wringing or twisting the thong to remove water is a top cause of stretching. Instead, press the water out gently with a towel.
Machine drying is another culprit. The heat can damage the elastic and cause the fibers to lose their softness. Always air dry flat, away from direct sunlight.
Using fabric softener or bleach can coat or weaken the fibers. Stick to a mild detergent designed for delicates.
Step-by-step washing guide
- Prepare the wash: Fill a clean sink or basin with cold water and add a small amount of gentle detergent. Swirl to mix. Avoid hot water, which can shrink or weaken the fibers. Check the care label first—if it says hand wash only, follow this method exactly.
- Soak and gently clean: Submerge the thong and gently agitate it with your fingers for a few minutes. Pay attention to the gusset area, but avoid scrubbing or twisting the fabric. Rinse thoroughly in cold water until no suds remain. Never wring or twist the thong—this can permanently stretch the elastic.
- Remove excess water: Lay the thong flat on a clean, dry towel. Roll the towel up and press gently to absorb water. Do not twist or squeeze hard. If the towel is very wet, repeat with a fresh dry towel to speed up drying.
- Dry flat: Place the thong on a drying rack or a clean towel in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Reshape it gently to its original form. Allow it to air dry completely before wearing or storing. Avoid hanging the thong by the waistband—this can stretch it out over time.
