Caring for Women's Silk Underwear

Women's silk underwear is something every woman deserves to have in her wardrobe. Unfortunately, many women deny themselves the pleasure of women's silk underwear because they believe silk is difficult to care for or must be dry-cleaned.

The good news is that caring for women's silk underwear doesn't have to be difficult or time-consuming, though silk does require gentle care. It is possible to hand wash or even wash silk in the washer. Dry cleaning women's silk underwear is no longer absolutely necessary, though.

Washing
Second, don't be afraid to put your women's silk underwear into the washer. Third, always use lukewarm water when washing silk undergarments. Never use hot water when washing and rinsing silk underwear.

Drying
Many silk undergarments are dryer-safe, but some are not. Never dry your silk underwear outside, as exposure to sun and extreme temperatures can weaken or discolor the silk.

Finally, once your silk women's underwear is dry, you will likely find it is wrinkled. Silk tends to wrinkle, and so you may want to press larger silk lingerie pieces, such as silk baby dolls or silk chemises.
