Underwear is a part of clothing that is in direct and continuous contact with our skin.
Therefore, proper maintenance is essential, not only to make the underwear last longer, but also to make it completely safe for sensitive skin.
Improper hygiene can cause irritation, allergic reactions or even more serious infections.
Below, I will give you proven tips to keep your underwear clean, fresh and comfortable to wear.

Choosing the right material for sensitive skin
The first and most important step is the choice of quality material.
Underwear made of natural fibers, such as cotton or bamboo, is most suitable for everyday use because it allows the skin to breathe, absorbs moisture and reduces the risk of irritation.
Synthetic materials, such as microfiber or elastane, are justified during sports activities because they have better elasticity and dry faster, but it is important to maintain them properly.
If you are looking for models that combine comfort and safety, take a look at all our models. For extra softness and antibacterial properties, bamboo underwear is an excellent choice, suitable for people prone to allergies and redness.
Proper washing: the key to safety and durability
Wash your underwear at low temperatures and dry naturally to preserve its softness and durability
Proper washing of underwear does not only mean the removal of unpleasant odors, but also the elimination of bacteria and mites that accumulate during wear.
It is ideal to wash underwear at temperatures from 40 to 60 °C, because these are the limits at which microorganisms are most effectively destroyed. Too high a temperature can damage the fibers and reduce elasticity.
Use mild detergents without aggressive chemicals and fragrances, especially if you have sensitive skin. It is mandatory to rinse multiple times, in order to remove all traces of the powder, which often causes redness and itching.
Special tip: never use fabric softener when washing sportswear as it can clog the pores of the material and reduce its ability to absorb moisture.
Table of washing and maintenance recommendations
| Material | Washing temperature | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 40–60 °C | Without fabric softener |
| Bamboo | 30–40 °C | Mild detergent |
| Synthetics | 30–40 °C | Detergent for sports laundry |
Drying and storage of laundry
Many people wonder whether it is better to dry underwear in the dryer or in the air.
Drying in natural air is definitely more recommended because it is less aggressive towards the fibers.
Underwear should always be completely dry before storage to prevent mold and odors from forming.
Store underwear in airy drawers or boxes, away from sources of moisture.
If you want extra freshness, you can insert bags with lavender or cedar wood, which naturally repel moths.
How often to change underwear?
In addition to regular washing, it is very important to renew your wardrobe from time to time.
Underwear thins over time, fibers weaken, and elasticity is lost, making it more susceptible to harboring bacteria.
General recommendations are to change underwear every 6 to 12 months, depending on the frequency of wear and the quality of the material.
Underwear for special occasions and sensitive skin
Not all models are equally suitable for all occasions. Seamless models are a real lifesaver when you want to avoid marks under your clothes or friction when moving.
For maximum comfort and discretion, we recommend the Slip collection. These models are also ideal for wearing at night, because they minimally burden the skin.
If you do sports or training, men’s slip models with antibacterial fibers are an excellent choice.
They enable quick drying and prevent the development of unpleasant odors.
Special care for delicate and children's skin
Children and people with particularly sensitive skin require extra attention. Washing at higher temperatures (60 °C) with detergents intended for children’s clothing is recommended.
Takođe, odlaganje mora biti u potpuno suvim i čistim fiokama, kako bi se izbegla bilo kakva kontaminacija.
Tips for a longer underwear life
If you want your underwear to last as long as possible, follow these rules:
- Sort underwear by color and material.
- Do not overcrowd the machine – laundry needs enough space for efficient washing and rinsing.
- Use bags for washing fine pieces, especially brush holders and models with lace.
Conclusion and recommendations
Proper maintenance of underwear is much more than an aesthetic issue – it is a prerequisite for the health and well-being of your skin.
Choose breathable, high-quality materials, wash them at appropriate temperatures and change clothes regularly.
