How to care for and wash your women's bodysuit to keep it looking new for a long time?
Kristel Naman A good bodysuit is like a good song: you want to be able to keep it for a long time.
But be careful, even the most resistant of bodysuits deserves a minimum of care!
Here are the right reflexes to ensure your body remains your best ally .
1. Prefer a delicate wash
Yes, your bodysuit is strong, but it is not armor.
π Lebodi advice:
- Wash your bodysuit at 30Β°C maximum , delicate cycle.
- Place it in a small laundry bag to avoid snags with unruly jeans zippers.
2. Always turn it upside down
Turning your bodysuit inside out before washing helps protect :
- The fibers,
- The colors,
- The little details like gathers and seams.
And bonus: it also reduces pilling.
3. Ban the dryer (really)
The clothes dryer is a bit like an overly violent guitar solo: it ends up breaking what you love.
Heat damages elastics and fibers.
π Lebodi Tip: Dry your bodysuit flat , away from a direct heat source. (Yes, even if it's tempting to put it on the radiator in winter.)
4. Iron at low temperature (or not at all)
Our bodysuits are made to be almost wrinkle-free (thanks to the elastane).
But if you really want to get out your iron:
π Use the gentlest temperature , without hot steam.
5. Store it lovingly
A bodysuit folded correctly (without crushing it) will last much longer than a bodysuit rolled into a ball in the corner of a closet.
Respect is also textile.
The final word:
A well-maintained bodysuit is a bodysuit that lasts through the years without aging (a bit like certain rock stars).
