Quick answer
Machine wash your Oleander Thong in cold water on a gentle cycle and air dry flat to preserve the soft tencel modal jersey fabric and picot edge elastic.
Why tencel modal jersey needs special care
Tencel modal jersey is prized for its ultra-soft feel and stretch, but it can lose shape or pill if handled roughly. The Oleander Thong uses our stretchiest fabric with merrow edges and picot elastic—both details that benefit from gentle washing. Hot water and high heat can break down the fibers and degrade the elastic over time.
How to wash and care for your Oleander Thong
- Step 1: Turn inside out and fasten any closures: Turn the thong inside out to protect the outer fabric and elastic. If there are any snaps or hooks, fasten them to prevent snagging. Turning inside out also helps reduce pilling on the jersey surface.
- Step 2: Machine wash on cold gentle cycle: Use cold water (max 30°C / 86°F) and a mild detergent. Select the delicate or hand-wash cycle on your machine. Avoid bleach and fabric softener, which can break down tencel fibers and elastic. Hot water can shrink the jersey and weaken the picot elastic—stick to cold.
- Step 3: Air dry flat away from direct heat: Lay the thong flat on a drying rack or towel. Do not wring or twist. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from radiators or dryers. Tumble drying or hanging by the waistband can stretch the elastic out of shape.
