Storage Solutions to Make Your Lingerie Last Longer

How you store your lingerie can significantly affect its lifespan, keeping delicate fabrics, laces, and structures in beautiful condition for years to come. At Hidden Lace Lingerie in Subiaco, Perth, we believe that every piece of lingerie deserves thoughtful care, right down to how it's stored at home.

Whether you’re organising everyday essentials or luxury pieces for special occasions, these smart storage tips will help preserve the quality and fit of your collection.

1. Use Dedicated Lingerie Storage

Invest in storage solutions specifically for your lingerie. Use soft drawer dividers, shallow baskets, or even fabric-lined boxes. Keeping bras, briefs, and delicate pieces separate from heavier clothing items like jeans or sweaters prevents snagging, crushing, and fabric damage.

2. How to Store Bras Properly

Bras, especially those with structured cups, need a little extra love when it comes to storage. Instead of folding one cup inside the other (which can distort the shape), lay bras flat with the cups nested into one another.

Here are some more useful tips:

• Close the hook-and-eye closures to prevent snagging on lace or mesh.
  

• Line bras side-by-side, like a file system, to easily see your options without damaging them.
  

• For padded bras, maintain their natural shape by avoiding heavy pressure from above.
  
  

3. Protect Delicate Fabrics

Silks, laces, and embroidered details are particularly fragile. To protect them:

• Use soft cotton garment bags or tissue paper to separate delicate items within drawers.
  

• Avoid overcrowding. Delicate lingerie needs room to breathe and maintain its structure.
  

• Keep pieces away from direct sunlight inside wardrobes or drawers to prevent fading.
  
  

4. Avoid Wire and Molding Damage

Wired and molded bras can lose their support structure if stored incorrectly. Never ball them up or crush them into tight spaces. If you’re short on drawer space, consider a hanging organiser designed for lingerie, with individual pockets for each item. Hanging silk camisoles or slips can also prevent creasing and keep fabrics looking fresh and luxurious.

5. Rotate Your Lingerie

Just like shoes, lingerie lasts longer when you don't wear the same pieces every day. Rotating your bras and briefs allows the elastic and fabric to rest and recover, keeping them supportive and comfortable for longer.
