Handwashing lingerie

[MichelleL]

Do any of you gurls have suggestions on how to best wash lingerie; such as stockings, bras, and panties? When I was a kid, my mother always hand washed her 'unmentionables' in Woolite. Is that still a good thing to use, or have things progressed in the past 50+ years? Never, ever, let your man see you in worn or dirty lingerie is a rule; like never sitting with your knees apart......
Love, Michelle

Michelle,
Go to Target or Walmart and buy yourself mesh bags for doing laundry.  They even have specific bags for bras.  Use the mesh bags for washing your bras and nicer things.  The mesh bags will protect bras from tangling with each other and possibly tearing/ruining your nice blouses.  I use regular laundry detergent for washing my things and have had no problems....but then I don't have any sweaters so I am not sure if you would still need Woolite for that.

Bras and nice blouses....I wash those on the gentle cycle.
