Your innerwear is the first layer of comfort you wear every day — yet, it’s often the most neglected when it comes to care. Whether it’s cotton briefs, modal trunks, or bamboo vests, proper washing and storage not only extend their life but also maintain hygiene and softness.

At VIP Clothing, we design premium men’s innerwear that lasts longer — but even the best innerwear needs the right care routine. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to care for your innerwear to keep it fresh, durable, and hygienic.

1. Wash Innerwear Separately for Hygiene

Your underwear and vests should always be washed separately from other clothes to prevent bacterial transfer.

Best Practice:

·         Use mild detergent for innerwear to maintain fabric softness.

·         Wash dark and light colors separately to avoid bleeding.

·         Always check the innerwear fabric label before washing — especially for modal and bamboo innerwear.

2. Choose the Right Water Temperature

Using very hot water can damage elastic waistbands and shrink delicate fabrics like cotton and modal.

Recommended:

·         Cold or lukewarm water works best for men’s cotton underwear.

·         For gym or activewear underwear, use a gentle cycle with disinfectant to remove sweat and odor.

Pro Tip: If you wear VIP Cotton Briefs, rinse in cold water first to prevent sweat stains from setting.

3. Avoid Bleach and Harsh Chemicals

Many people use bleach to make clothes look “cleaner”, but bleach can ruin elastic fibers and fade innerwear colors.

Instead, try:

·         A gentle fabric sanitizer made for delicate garments.

·         A tablespoon of baking soda for odor control.

This keeps your innerwear for men soft, hygienic, and long-lasting.

4. Dry Innerwear the Right Way

Sun-drying is great for killing germs, but excessive heat can weaken the elastic waistband and cause innerwear fabric to stiffen.

Best Practices:

·         Hang in a shaded, well-ventilated area.

·         Avoid direct sunlight for modal, bamboo, and polyester underwear.

·         Do not use high-heat tumble dryers — they reduce stretchability.

5. Store Innerwear Properly

Even after washing and drying, improper storage can affect freshness and fabric quality.

Storage Tips:

·         Always store men’s briefs, trunks, and vests in a cool, dry drawer.

·         Avoid damp spaces to prevent mildew.

·         Fold neatly and avoid crumpling — it helps maintain the waistband’s elasticity.

You can also organize by innerwear type (briefs, trunks, boxers) to make your morning routine smoother.

6. Replace Old Innerwear Regularly

Even with good care, innerwear lifespan is limited. On average, men’s underwear should be replaced every 6–12 months depending on fabric and usage.

Replace if you notice:

·         Faded color or stretched elastic

·         Holes or rough texture

·         Persistent odor even after washing
