Gentle wash or delicate cycle: To ensure your shapewear stays in great condition, it’s essential to treat it gently. Hand washing is the safest option, but if using a washing machine, select a delicate cycle to minimize wear. Opt for mild detergent: Strong detergents can damage the fabric of shapewear, so always go with a gentle detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as they can harm the material and affect the fit. Air dry only: After washing, skip the dryer. Lay your shapewear flat or hang it to air dry naturally. Keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and fabric damage. Store properly: To avoid stretching, fold your shapewear neatly and store it in a drawer or hang it up. Make sure to keep it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or humidity. Replace when needed: Shapewear offers support and shaping, but over time, it can lose its elasticity. If it no longer provides the support you need or shows signs of wear, it’s time for a replacement.
