Sexy lingerie must simultaneously fit the body closely, maintain its shape and color after washing, and withstand regular wear without deforming. The material determines how long a piece will remain neat, comfortable, and attractive. Brands like Mariemur choose high-quality fabrics that combine aesthetics, durability, and practicality. The main requirement is resistance to stretching, color preservation, and elasticity even after numerous washes.
Which fabrics hold their shape and color
Many would be surprised, but the fabrics that suffer the least after washing are not the thickest ones, but those with well-designed elasticity. For example, soft mesh or a stretchy combination of nylon and elastane almost does not change its shape if washed in cool water. At the same time, high-quality lace also performs well, though it requires a slightly more delicate approach.
It’s important to consider fabric density and how it feels to the touch. If the material is resilient, returns to its original shape, and does not “drift” between the fingers, the chances of long service are much higher.
Before buying, take a look at the composition. The most durable include:
-
stretch mesh – almost does not deform after handwashing;
-
nylon + elastane – maintains color well and doesn’t stretch out on straps or waistbands;
-
high-quality lace – especially if it is elastic rather than “paper-like”;
-
vinyl or latex coating – provided the care is maximally delicate.
These materials are most often used by brands that focus on combining aesthetics and durability.
Comfort and delicate design
In models with transparent inserts or open elements – including crotchless lingeries – the question of retaining shape after washing becomes especially important. Such sets often combine lace and mesh, as they gently follow the body’s curves and do not lose elasticity. Mariemur creates such designs using stretchy materials that hold color well and do not loosen at the seams. This is their strength – delicate in appearance but sturdy in wear.
In everyday life, this becomes clear very quickly: after washing, such lingerie does not turn into a “shapeless gauze” but continues to fit just as confidently.
How care helps preserve color and shape: simple tips
Even the strongest fabrics require proper care. This doesn’t involve complicated steps – just a few simple habits:
-
Hand-wash only or use the “delicate / hand wash” mode (if the machine allows it).
-
Use gentle, liquid detergents for delicate fabrics rather than harsh powders.
-
Water temperature should be cool or slightly warm; hot water damages fibers and dyes.
-
Do not rub or wring, dry on a flat surface or hang carefully, away from direct heat sources.
-
Latex – wash separately, apply talc or special powder after drying, store “laid flat / neatly folded,” avoiding sharp creases.
If you choose materials that hold their shape and color, and wash them delicately, the sets will maintain their fit and richness much longer.
