DIY Shapewear Care: Tips to Extend the Life of Your Favorite Pieces

Your shapewear works hard to keep you looking and feeling fantastic. Show it some love with these simple care tips to ensure your favorite pieces stay in top shape for longer.

Gentle Washing is Key

Always hand wash your shapewear in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can break down elastic fibers. Gently squeeze out excess water – never wring or twist.

Air Dry for Best Results

Heat is the enemy of elasticity. Skip the dryer and lay your shapewear flat to air dry. This preserves the shape and stretch of your garments.

Rotate Your Collection

Just like your favorite shoes, shapewear benefits from a day off. Rotate between pieces to allow the elastic to recover its shape fully.

Store with Care

Fold your shapewear gently and store it in a drawer. Avoid hanging, which can stretch out the fabric over time.

Address Snags Immediately

If you notice a snag, don't pull it! Carefully trim any loose threads to prevent further damage.

Avoid Fabric Softeners

While they make clothes feel soft, fabric softeners can leave a coating that reduces your shapewear's ability to wick moisture and breathe.

By following these simple care tips, you'll extend the life of your shapewear, ensuring it continues to enhance your silhouette and boost your confidence for many wears to come.
