1. Use the delicate cycle: Keep your shapewear in top shape by treating it gently! Hand washing is the best, but if you’re going for the washing machine, make sure to use the delicate cycle.
2. Opt for mild detergent: Strong detergents are a no-go! Stick to a gentle cleanser to protect those delicate fabrics. And skip the fabric softeners and bleach—they’ll mess with the material.
3. Air dry only: After washing, ditch the dryer! Lay your shapewear flat or hang it up to air dry. Just keep it out of direct sunlight to avoid fading.
4. Store properly: Don’t stretch out the fabric! Fold your shapewear neatly and stash it in a drawer or hang it up. Make sure to keep it away from direct sunlight and humid spots.
5. Replace as needed: Your shapewear is all about support and contouring, but it won’t last forever. If it starts losing its shape or doesn’t give you the support you need, it’s time for a refresh!
