Yes, Your Underwear Needs TLC Too

Wearing premium innerwear is great—but how you take care of it makes all the difference. Wash it wrong, and you’ll deal with loose waistbands, faded colors, and saggy fits.

The good news? Keeping your underwear and vests in top shape is easier than you think. Let’s break down how to wash and care for your essentials—especially those Big Eye cotton briefs and vests you love.

1. Don’t Mix Dirty Laundry

First rule? Treat your underwear like VIPs.

• Separate colors from whites: No one wants grey briefs that used to be white.
• Keep delicates apart: Wash underwear separately from jeans, towels, or heavy fabrics.

This helps prevent fabric damage and keeps your briefs and vests looking fresh.

2. Cold Wash Is Your Friend

Cotton loves cooler water. Washing at lower temps:

• Protects elastic from breaking down.
• Prevents shrinkage.
• Helps preserve color and shape.

Most underwear (including your Big Eye gear) stays happier and lasts longer when washed in cold to lukewarm water.

3. Choose Gentle Detergent

Skip the harsh stuff. Go for:

• Mild, fragrance-free detergent.
• No bleach.
• No fabric softener (trust us—it clogs fabric pores).

This keeps your innerwear breathable and skin-friendly.

4. Mesh Wash Bags Are Game-Changers

Toss your briefs and vests into a mesh laundry bag before washing. This:

• Prevents stretching and tangling.
• Stops waistbands from getting ruined.
• Adds years to your gear’s lifespan.

Big Eye pieces are stitched to last—but giving them a little help never hurts.

5. Air Dry > Machine Dry

We get it—tossing everything in the dryer is easy. But that heat?

• Kills elastic faster.
• Fades color.
• Can warp shape.

Best move? Hang dry your underwear and vests indoors or in shade. They’ll stay looking and feeling new.

6. Wash Often, But Not Aggressively

Yes, you should change your underwear daily. But no need to scrub the life out of them.

• Use gentle or delicate cycle.
• Hand-washing? Even better for delicate styles.
• Flip them inside out before washing.

Pro tip: Big Eye undies are designed to hold their shape—even after multiple washes.

7. Know When to Say Goodbye

Even the best pair has a shelf life. Time to replace if:

• The waistband is loose or stretched out.
• Fabric feels thin or see-through.
• There are stains or tears that don’t come out.

Rotating 7–10 pairs in your drawer will keep things fresher longer.
