Washing, drying, ironing: the ultimate guide to protecting your delicate men's underwear

Introduction
At PetitQ, we know that your lace, fine nylon, modal, bamboo, and sheer mesh underwear deserves special care. This expert guide reveals the mistakes to avoid and best practices to maintain their quality for a long time.

1. Why do these subjects require so much attention?

• Men's lace : Fragile patterns, risk of snagging

• Ultra-thin nylon : Sensitive to heat and friction

• Modal/Bamboo : Tendency to shrink or relax

• Transparent Mesh : Vulnerable Mesh

2. The 5 catastrophic errors

1. Machine in "bulldozer" mode → Use a net and delicate cycle at 30°C

2. Fabric softener → Choose white vinegar

3. Tumble dryer → Air drying required

4. Washing with jeans/zippers → Always separate

5. Ironing → Do not use on nylon or mesh

3. Hand washing: the ultimate method

• Warm water + mild detergent or soap

• Soak for 10 minutes without rubbing

• Gentle rinse with cold water to tighten the fibers

• Dry flat on a bath towel for example
