How Often to Change Panty/Underwear

Our panty drawer can easily transform into a vault of comfy, cherished favorites. We all have those go-to pairs that feel like an extension of ourselves, but just like that trusty spatula you would not dare cook with after years of scraping and flipping, your panties deserve some love and attention too!

Signs Your Panties Have Reached Their Expiration Date 

Unlike milk cartons, panties do not come with a clear expiration date. But there are some telltale signs that it is time to say goodbye and invest in some fresh new pairs. Here are five to watch out for:

• Looseness and Loss of Elasticity 

Remember how your favorite pair used to hug your curves perfectly? If the elastic has stretched out and they are sagging, it is time to retire them. 

 

• Frayed Fabric or Holes 

Rips, tears, and pilling are not only uncomfortable, but they can also irritate delicate skin. 

Making Your Panties Last Longer 

Let's face it, Wacoal panties are an investment, and you want them to last! Here are a few tips to extend the lifespan of your favorite pairs: 

• Wash with care 

Always follow the care instructions on the label. Opt for gentle detergents and avoid harsh bleaches or fabric softeners. A delicate cycle and air drying will go a long way in preserving the elasticity and shape of your panties. 

 

• Handwashing for Delicates 

For your most precious lace or silk panties, consider handwashing with a gentle lingerie soap like Wacoal's Luxury Lingerie Soap. This will help maintain the quality and vibrancy of the fabric.

• Staining and Discoloration 

While a little sweat is normal, stubborn stains or overall discoloration are a sign your panties have seen better days. 

 

• Itchiness and Irritation 

If your panties are causing discomfort, it could be a sign of fabric breakdown or trapped bacteria. 

 

• Not Feeling Confident 

Underwear is the foundation of a good outfit and feeling confident in what you're wearing underneath translates to feeling great all over.

The Impact of Not Replacing Old Panties 

Beyond aesthetics, there are some practical reasons to keep your panty drawer fresh. Here is what can happen if you hold onto old, worn-out panties: 

• Increased Risk of Infections 

Yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis thrive in moist environments. Old panties that are not breathable can trap moisture and create a breeding ground for unwanted guests. 

 

• Skin Irritation 

Worn-out fabrics can be scratchy and irritating, especially for those with sensitive skin. 

 

• Embarrassment 

Nobody wants a wardrobe malfunction, especially when it comes to your undergarments. 

 

• Self-Doubt 

Holding onto old, worn-out panties can affect your confidence and make you feel less than your best. 

 

• Rotate your panty drawer 

Having a good selection of panties allows you to rotate them throughout the week, preventing any single pair from wearing out too quickly. 

Giving Your Old Panties a Second Life 

We all love a good deal, and Wacoal is committed to sustainability. Here is what you can do with your old, gently used Wacoal panties:
