Learn practical tips to wash, dry, and store your Softskin Shorty Almond so it stays soft, smooth, and supportive for longer.
Quick answer
To keep your Softskin Shorty Almond soft and supportive, wash it in cold water on a delicate cycle (or by hand) and let it air dry. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat, which can break down the fibres and reduce the smoothing effect.
Why gentle care matters
The Softskin Shorty Almond is designed to hug your body like a second skin, with a deep cuff and waistband that smooth without digging in. That soft, smoothing effect depends on the integrity of the fibres and the elastic. Harsh washing or high-heat drying can stretch or degrade them, making the shorty lose its shape and support faster.
Because this is a seamless style, it has fewer stitches and seams to hold everything together. That means the fabric itself does more of the work, so treating it gently is even more important than with a traditionally sewn underwear style.
Softskin Shorty Almond care FAQ
- How should I wash my Softskin Shorty Almond?
- Machine wash on a cold, delicate cycle with similar colours, or hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibres and reduce breathability and softness.
- Can I put it in the dryer?
- No. High heat can damage the elastic and cause shrinkage. Instead, lay it flat or hang it to air dry away from direct sunlight. This helps the shorty keep its shape and smoothing fit. Air drying is the single best habit to extend the life of your seamless underwear.
- How often should I wash it?
- Wash after every wear, as you would with any underwear. Because the Softskin Shorty is made for everyday wear, regular washing is expected, but gentle care will keep it soft and supportive for many more wears. If you rotate between a few pairs, each one lasts longer between washes.
- How should I store it?
- Fold it gently and store it in a drawer away from direct sunlight or heat. Avoid hanging it by the waistband, which can stretch the elastic over time. Folding, not hanging, preserves the waistband's snug fit.
