How often should I wash my VIP underwear?

Ans. Best practice: after every use. Underwear is in direct contact with skin and sweat—washing each time maintains hygiene and fabric life.

Can I machine wash VIP tees and underwear together?

Ans. Yes—but ensure the settings are gentle, cold water, and avoid mixing with heavy items like jeans that can damage shape.

Will the elastic in VIP trunks stretch out if I tumble dry?

Ans. Yes. High heat from tumble drying can degrade elastic faster and cause loss of shape. Prefer air‑drying or use tumble low.

My VIP tee is fading—what’s going wrong?

Ans. It could be due to frequent high‑heat drying, direct sunlight exposure or mixing colours improperly during washing. Follow care instructions.

How do I know when to replace my VIP underwear or tee?

Ans. Look for signs: loose waistband, fabric thinning or transparency, obvious sagging or loss of fit. When comfort or appearance drops, it's time.

Care & Maintenance of Your Innerwear: Make It Last Longer

How to wash, dry, store your VIP underwear & tees so they maintain fit, fabric quality and longevity

Introduction

Your innerwear and basic tees are the foundational layers of your wardrobe. Whether it’s the VIP trunks you wear daily or a VIP tee you reach for repeatedly, taking proper care means better comfort, better fit and longer lifespan. Neglecting care might lead to fading, stretching, loss of shape or discomfort. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to wash, how to dry, and how to store your VIP innerwear and tees—so you maximise value and remain comfortable every day.

Why Care Matters for Quality Basics

VIP emphasises premium fabrics like cotton, Tencel Micro Modal and moisture‐control blends.
The fabric and fit are only as good as the maintenance they get: elastic fatigue, fabric pilling and fading all reduce the comfort and appearance.
Indian climates (heat, humidity, sweat) place extra demands on innerwear and tees—proper care helps manage them.
A well‑maintained piece stays sharper, looks better, and feels better on you.

How to Wash Your VIP Innerwear & Tees

1. Read the care label

Always check the specific tag on your VIP piece—many show “machine wash cold”, “do not bleach”, “tumble dry low”.

2. Use cold or lukewarm water

Hot water may cause shrinkage, colour fading, and damage to elastic. Cold water retains fabric integrity.

3. Choose a gentle/ mild detergent

Avoid harsh bleach or strong fabric‐softeners which may degrade elastic or reduce fabric’s moisture‑wicking features.

4. Wash inside‐out

Especially for tees or trunks with prints or coloured fabric—turning inside out protects the outer layer.

5. Use the right load size

Don’t overload the machine—ensure items have room to move so fabric doesn’t stretch abnormally.

6. Separate whites/darks

Especially with first few washes—VIP’s coloured lines still benefit from separate washing to prevent colour transfer.

How to Dry & Preserve Fabric & Shape

1. Avoid high‑heat tumble dry

High heat can degrade elastic, distort shape, and make fabric stiffer. Use tumble dry low setting if necessary or better: air‑dry.

2. Air‑dry when possible

Hang in the shade rather than direct sunlight—UV can fade colours and weaken fibres over time.

3. Dry flat for tees

For heavier cotton tees, consider drying flat or on a hanger so they don’t sag and lose shape.

4. Avoid hanging heavy bottoms by waistband

This can stretch the waistband on trunks or shorts—fold or use clips at legs to avoid undue stress.

5. Quick wrinkle fix

For tees that look slightly crumpled, low‑heat ironing inside‑out or steam can freshen them without damage.

How to Store Your Innerwear & Tees

1. Fold neatly rather than cram

Avoid random stuffing of drawers—folded, sorted items retain shape better.

2. Organise by type & colour

Keep your VIP underwear separated from outerwear tees to avoid mixing elastic wear.

3. Use breathable drawer/organiser

Ensure air flow—especially in humid areas to avoid mildew or musty smells.

4. Rotate regularly

Wearing the same piece day after day accelerates wear. Rotate your basics so each piece gets recovery time.

5. Replace when required

When you notice loose elastic, faded fabric, or permanent shape distortion—it’s time to retire or repurpose the piece.

Quick Care Checklist

Step	Best Practice
Wash	Cold or lukewarm water, mild detergent
Dry	Air‑dry or tumble low, avoid direct sun
