We all know this little simple pleasure of life that consists in finding the ideal piece of lingerie, whether it is a lace shorty or an effective bra. Unfortunately, if you do not take special care, this grail can quickly end out of use, as the lingerie can be fragile and delicate.

To avoid any drama in the drawer below, we follow these gold tips provided by Sarah Shotton , artistic director of the sultry lingerie agent Agent Provocateur.

  • Hang the staples of your bra before washing. This prevents it from relaxing and losing shape.

  • If you wash your underwear in the machine, be sure to put them in a suitable bag that will protect them and preserve their radiance from the first days.

  • If possible, put on gloves when you put on your stockings or your fine tights : holes and taper are really not tolerable. Unless you wear a glamorous pair of fishnet ...

  • When you buy a set, take the panty double see triple: it will avoid using the one and only copy that tends to necessarily wash more than the bra.
