10 Lingerie Mistakes You’re Probably Making And How to Fix Them
Lingerie is one of those things that seems simple—until you realize you’ve been doing it all wrong. Ever wondered why your bras stretch out too fast? Or why your lace underwear suddenly looks like a tangled mess? It’s not you, bestie—it’s the tiny mistakes you don’t even realize you’re making.
No worries! We’re here to spill the tea on the biggest lingerie mistakes and how to fix them. Let’s get into it.
1. You’re Probably Wearing the Wrong Bra Size (Like, Right Now)
If you:
Have straps that slip or dig into your shoulders.
Get that annoying under boob gap or spillage.
Rip your bra off ASAP because it’s uncomfortable.
Then congrats, you’re part of the 80% of people wearing the wrong bra size. (Yes, really!)
Fix it: Get professionally measured! Or, if you’re too busy for that, use an online bra calculator. Your bra should hug, not suffocate.
2. You’re Washing Your Lingerie Like It’s a Regular T-Shirt
Lingerie is delicate, and if you’re tossing your lace bras and silky panties in the regular wash cycle with your jeans, Houston, we have a problem.
Fix it:
Hand-wash your lingerie when possible (we know, it’s annoying, but it’s worth it!).
If you must use a machine, put your bras in a lingerie bag and use the delicate cycle with cold water.
NEVER throw them in the dryer. Air dry only!
3. You’re Fastening Your Bra on the Tightest Hook First
It seems logical, if it fits, it fits, right? Wrong! Starting on the tightest hook means your bra will stretch out faster, leaving you with a sad, loose band before you know it.
Fix it: Always start on the loosest hook and tighten it as your bra naturally stretches over time. It’ll last way longer.
4. You’re Folding or Scrunching Padded Bras
Ever wondered why your bra cups have weird dents? It’s because you’re folding them in half (gasp!). This ruins the shape and support.
Fix it: Stack bras with molded cups inside each other, or lay them flat in your drawer. It keeps their shape perfect for longer.
5. You’re Ignoring Fabric Care Labels
Yes, those tiny, confusing tags actually mean something! If your lace set suddenly looks sad and frayed, you probably ignored the care instructions.
Fix it: Check the label before you wash anything. Hand wash only? Believe it. No bleach? Obey it. Your lingerie will thank you.
Final Thoughts: Love Your Lingerie, and It’ll Love You Back
Lingerie is an investment, and taking care of it properly means you get to enjoy your favorite pieces for way longer. Fix these mistakes, and your bras, undies, and bodysuits will stay looking fresh, fitting perfectly, and making you feel amazing.
Now go forth and treat your lingerie right!
