Underwear made of the following materials is usually not suitable for machine washing. Hand washing or special care is recommended to avoid damaging the fabric, affecting the wearing effect, or shortening the service life:
1. Lace material
Reason: Lace has a fine and fragile texture, and is prone to snagging, deformation, or breakage during high-speed rotation during machine washing. Edge decorations (such as beads and embroidery) may also fall off.
Suggestion: Wash with cold water or warm water at around 30 ℃, gently squeeze, avoid rubbing with force, and lay flat when drying to prevent stretching and deformation.
2. Silk/real silk material
Reason: Silk fibers are delicate, and the friction and pulling during machine washing can cause the fabric to become fuzzy, fade, or break, and the chemicals in the detergent may damage the fiber structure.
Suggestion: Hand wash with specialized silk detergent, gently rinse, avoid wringing out, lay flat and dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight.
3. Underwear with special decorations
Type: Underwear decorated with diamonds, rhinestones, sequins, three-dimensional flowers, metal buckles, etc.
Reason: Decorations are prone to friction and detachment with other clothes during machine washing, and metal accessories may scratch fabrics or hook laundry bags.
Suggestion: Hand wash and avoid decorative areas, and avoid squeezing decorative areas when drying.
4. Underwear without steel rings or lightweight design
Reason: The support structure of underclothing without steel rings is relatively fragile, and machine washing may cause deformation and displacement of the cups; Lightweight fabrics (such as one-piece or ice silk materials) are thin and transparent, and are easily torn by other clothing.
Suggestion: Hand wash and gently rub, or put it in a laundry bag and choose "gentle mode" for machine washing to reduce pulling.
5. Wool/cashmere material
Reason: Wool fibers are prone to shrinkage and felting (hardening and clumping) when exposed to water and mechanical forces. Machine washing can cause deformation and shrinkage of underwear.
Suggestion: Hand wash with specialized neutral detergent, keep the water temperature below 30 ℃, gently squeeze and lay flat to dry, avoid hanging and stretching.
Summary and Suggestions
Must be hand washed: lace, silk, underwear with complex decorations.
Caution in machine washing: If choosing machine washing, be sure to put the underwear in a laundry bag, choose gentle mode, and wash separately (avoid mixing with high friction clothes such as jeans and sweaters).
Key principle: The finer the material and the more complex the structure, the more it needs to be hand washed and cared for to avoid mechanical damage.
