Your Underwear FAQs: Answered!
Once you’ve made the decision to invest in truly comfortable, stylish underwear, you might still be left with some questions. We all want to know how to keep our lingerie looking great for longer and everyone knows the nightmare of trying to find the right bra size for your body.
We’re here to help! We’ve answered some of the most frequently asked questions relating to underwear care, comfort and sizing to keep your lingerie looking and feeling its best.
What is the best way to wash my delicate underwear?Always wash your underwear on a delicate or handwash setting and at a low temperature. If you have the time, washing your underwear by hand with a delicate detergent is even better! If you need to put your underwear in the washing machine, place it inside a mesh laundry bag to ensure that it doesn’t catch on other clothes. When it comes to bras, make sure the hook-and-eye clasps are closed to prevent a stray hook from damaging delicate fabrics.
What’s the best way to fold my underwear?Contrary to popular belief, you shouldn’t fold your bra into itself. Instead, lay your bras flat and unfolded, one on top of the other, inside a mesh laundry bag or drawer. Never hang your bra up on a hanger as its own weight will stretch the straps and lead to an uncomfortable fit. Your knickers should also be laid flat inside a mesh laundry bag or drawer and stacked one on top of the other. Store your bras away from your knickers to prevent the hook-and-eye closure from snagging on delicate lace or soft mesh.
Which style of knickers is the most comfortable?We believe the most comfortable style of knickers is the type that makes you feel the most confident! If you love the sexiness of a thong, your confidence will shine through, while the fuller coverage of a high-waisted style will help you feel supported and happy. At Lemonade Dolls, all our knickers are made from soft jersey material or kind-to-skin mesh, complete with delicate lace detailing. This ensures that all our knicker styles are comfortable and supportive for all bodies. We don’t believe in restrictive elastic or scratchy, irritating material, so you can be confident that all our knickers are comfortable, no matter the occasion!
How many bras should I own?It’s a good idea to build a varied collection of bras, so you have the right colour, pattern and style for every occasion. You also need a good rotation to ensure that you can wash your bras regularly and that you’re never left without the right support for your day. Start building your underwear wardrobe by prioritising bras that will work for everyday events and then invest in some more exciting items that will sit perfectly under form-fitting clothes for fun nights out and special events.
How do I know what size bra I should be wearing?Bra sizing can often be confusing and restrictive, which is why we do things a little differently! Check out our handy size guide to convert your standard size to our Lemonade Dolls sizing for the perfect, supportive fit.
