You probably paid a lot of money for that little triangle of fabric with the almost-not-there waistband; but even if you buy your thongs by the dozen at Walmart(r) you might as well keep them looking better for longer. After all, thongs aren't just underwear, they're a statement! Thongs are a bit more delicate than the cotton "granny panties" that you keep around for, um, periodic purposes, so it's important to treat them with the care that they deserve. You don't really have to be concerned about the fabric content, or even read the care and handling tag, because no company that I have ever heard of has ever made a pair of "Dry Clean Only" underwear. You can bet that your thongs are washable. We all know that the term "washable" has different meanings to different people. To guys in general, and most college students regardless of gender, washable means to stuff as many garments as possible into the washing machine without regard to water temperature, color or fabric. Well, when it comes to thongs, washable means "hand wash only" even if the fabric care label tells you otherwise. Even on the most delicate cycle a washing machine puts a lot of stress on fabric. Here's how to keep your thongs coming back for more:
If you absolutely must wash your thongs in a washing machine then use the cold water setting and the ultra-gentle cycle. My advice is to put your thongs into lingerie bag and toss the bag into the washing machine. If you think that washing machines love to eats socks, which are rather thick and meaty as fabrics go, just imagine how many pairs of thongs will get snatched up by a killer washing machine with a bad attitude!
