Most underwear can be washed in a light load in the washer - if they're your everyday cotton or synthetic material, then it's best to wash them in hot water to kill any germs, including E. coli, that may linger in them. Swimwear should be washed either in the lingerie bag on cold and hung to dry, or washed by hand. An easy way to get the chlorine and salt out of swimwear is to wear it into the shower after you get home from the beach or pool. Rinse the suit thoroughly under the shower and hang to dry. Shapewear can be put in the washing machine on a gentle, cold cycle and dried on low in the dryer. Treat shapewear that has underwires or hooks as you would a bra, putting it in the mesh bag before washing. If your delicates have appliqués, crystals, fine lace or other embellishments, then it's best to launder them by hand.
