A Chouchou Girl Guide to:
Caring for your Intimates
At Chouchou Intimates, we know a lot of thought goes into curating the perfect collection of bralettes and knickers, so whether it's your first time trying our pieces or you're already a loyal fan, we truly appreciate your choice!
To make sure every wear feels as good as the first, we have put together some easy tips to help you take care of your Chouchou pieces and help them last longer.
Tip 1: Always use a Lingerie Wash Bag
Our Lingerie Wash Bag is specifically designed to keep your knickers twist, tear and tangle-free. Made from a durable, protective mesh and featuring a secure zipper fastening, you can feel confident your delicates will come out snag-free!
Tip 2: Wash with Cold Water
Using cold water to wash your intimates is highly recommended because it helps preserve delicate fabrics. Cold water is gentler on materials like lace, silk, and spandex, reducing the risk of stretching, shrinking, or warping the fabric. It also prevents colours from fading and bleeding, helping your intimates maintain their original appearance and vibrant colours for longer!
Tip 3: Air Dry Them
Avoid the temptation to tumble dry, instead lay your intimates flat on a towel to air dry. The gentle process of air drying prevents the harsh effects of heat from a dryer, such as stretching, shrinking, and fabric weakening.
Tip 4: Skip the Iron
Ironing your intimates is unnecessary and can be harmful to the delicate fabrics they are made from. Ironing can lead to accidental burns or melting of synthetic fibres.
Tip 5: Pre-treat Stains Before Washing
Before washing, it's essential to address any stains from blood, lotions, self-tanners etc. This pretreatment step ensures that your Chouchou Intimates underwear remains fresh and stain-free.
Tip 8: Organising your Intimate Drawer
To prevent mildew and maintain the quality of your lingerie, ensure your underwear drawer is completely dry before storing. Ideally, store your lingerie in a lined drawer to prevent snags, or use specially-designed fabric bags. Remember to hook the closures on bras to avoid any unwanted snags.
By following these simple tips, you can ensure that your Chouchou pieces stay comfortable and last longer, making them a worthwhile investment for your wardrobe.
Happy Washing!
