How Do I Care for and Clean My Shapewear?

Proper care and cleaning of your shapewear can help it last longer and maintain its effectiveness. Here’s a super simple to help you keep your shapewear in top shape:

  1. Hand Wash: Gently hand wash your shapewear in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. This will preserve the elasticity and fabric.
  2. Avoid Fabric Softener: Fabric softeners can break down the materials, making your shapewear less effective. Instead, use a gentle detergent.
  3. Dry Naturally: Always air dry your shapewear by laying it flat on a towel. Avoid using a dryer as the heat can damage the fabric.
  4. Store Properly: Store your shapewear in a cool, dry place to avoid any stretching or damage.

How Often Should I Wash my Shapewear?

  • Daily Wear: If you wear your shapewear daily, it's a good idea to wash it after 1-2 wears to maintain hygiene and keep the fabric fresh. Sweat and body oils can accumulate, which might degrade the material over time.
  • Occasional Wear: For occasional use, washing it after every 2-3 wears should suffice, provided it isn’t exposed to excessive sweat or dirt.
  • Active Use: If you wear shapewear during workouts or in hot weather, wash it after each use to remove sweat and maintain elasticity.
  • By following these simple steps, your shapewear will maintain its form, providing you with long-lasting support and comfort.
