As you know, most of the part of waist trainer is made of 100% natural latex. Unlike cotton clothes, materials such as polyester, spandex, and latex will literally melt or shrink in a washing machine and dryer. So you don’t need to wash your waist trainer vigorously, as heavy soaking and violently cleaning can easily discolor your waist trainer and rupture the fabric, as well as damage the steel bones used in many waist trainers.

2. Dry For 2 – 4 Hours

After washing your product, be sure to dry it thoroughly before storing or wearing it because latex is a natural material that can quickly rot with a little moisture. In addition, if the waist trainer is not well dried, it will discolor or even damaged. Just make sure it can be appropriately dried naturally for at least 2-4 hours to maintain its shape before storage or usage, also, if your trainer is made of leather, cotton, denim, satin, or PVC, a professional dry cleaner is the best helper.

3. Never Use a Sponge to Clean

It has been suggested that you should not use any hard material or sponge on your waist trainer. Use something soft to clean it which will also not destroy its latex which will be helpful for maintaining its durability and quality.

• Wash the towel with soap or shampoo and water, then rub it on your waist trainer till then you will able to remove residue and odor.

By wearing a layer underneath your trainer can create a barrier between your body and the trainer, preventing natural oils and sweat from breaking the fibers of your waist trainer.

2. Wash Regularly

It is important to note that, you should not wear your waist trainer twice a day without washing it. Your shapewear should be cleaned daily for best results.

Use detergents which are specially formed for washing of these shape wears. You can also make use of baby shampoo or mild shampoo for all the garments which contain latex.

For Other Garments

Garments with the non-latex material can be washed in a washing machine by using cold water. It is important to check whether your product consists latex or not. If it does not contain latex then, you can easily wash it with cold water and washing machine. Excessive use of hot water and agitation may damage the material so make sure to use warm water. Keep your waist trainer in a neat and clean bag so that it will be protected from dust or anything.

If you have some trainers you like to wear every day, do you aware that latex needs a break to maintain its function? So we recommend you buy at least two high-quality waist trainers and alternate them, so every trainer doesn’t wear out too fast.
