How to Care for Lace Briefs and Thongs

Quick answer

Hand wash your lace briefs and thongs in cold water with a gentle detergent, then lay them flat to air dry away from direct heat.

Step-by-step lace care routine

1. 1. Hand wash in cold water: Fill a basin with cold water and add a small amount of mild detergent. Submerge your lace brief or thong and gently swish it around. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric. Do not use hot water or bleach — they can weaken the lace fibers and fade the color.
2. 2. Rinse and remove excess water: Drain the soapy water and refill with clean cold water. Swish the lace again until all detergent is gone. Press the fabric against the side of the basin to remove water — never wring or twist. Roll the lace in a clean, dry towel to absorb remaining moisture before laying it flat to dry.
3. 3. Lay flat to air dry: Place the lace brief or thong on a drying rack or a clean towel, reshaping it to its original form. Keep it away from direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers. Never hang lace by the elastic band — the weight of wet fabric can stretch it out of shape.
4. 4. Store with care: Fold lace briefs and thongs loosely and place them in a drawer. Avoid cramming them into tight spaces or hanging them on hooks that could snag the fabric. Store similar colors together to prevent dye transfer, and keep lace away from rough zippers or Velcro.
