Many people do not know how to fold underwear. Taking the time to learn the best folding techniques for panties and bras can help you organize your underwear drawer and make packing for trips easier. Folding bras properly can also retain the shape of molded cups. Learn more about the best techniques for folding all types of underwear.
Folding Panties In a Square
One of the easiest ways to organize panties is to fold these undergarments into a compact square. Lay underwear out on a flat surface with the front side up. Fold the crotch up to the waistband. Next, fold the right side of the underwear to the center and fold the left side over the right side. Last, fold the resulting rectangle in half to form a square.
This folding method can work for most styles of underwear for women, including bikini underwear, hipsters, thongs or briefs. Folding underwear into a square can make pairs easier to stack or align in a drawer, underwear organizer or suitcase compartment.
Nestling Your Bras
Nestling is a useful technique for storing bras that minimizes damage. Place a bra near the back of a drawer and position a second bra in front so that the cups of the first bra nestle into the cups of the next bra. Repeat this process with all of your bras that have molded cups, such as a tshirt bra with thin memory foam cups.
You can fold bras with unlined cups in half, but you should avoid inverting or folding the cups of lined bras into each other. This method damages bras with molded cups. Nestling any type of lined bra, including no underwire bra styles, can make it easier to organize your underwear drawer.
Two Ways To Roll Underwear
If you prefer not to fold underwear into squares or wear a style of underwear that is hard to fold into neat squares, you may prefer to roll your underwear. Lay out a pair of underwear on a flat surface turned vertically with the front side up. Fold the crotch up to the top of the waistband and then fold the underwear in half before rolling up the underwear away from you.
Another rolling method that is sometimes referred to as the egg roll method involves laying underwear out horizontally face up and folding each pair over three times and leaving about an inch of material. Turn the underwear over and fold the sides toward the center and the bottom up. The folded underwear will form a pocket into which you can insert your thumbs and flip the underwear inside out.
Learn the Best Folding Techniques
Whether you prefer neatly folded panties or a rolling method, there’s a way to organize various styles like bikini, thong, or hipster panties, as well as boyshorts or briefs. And when it comes to bras, nestling them properly not only makes it easier to find what you need but also helps maintain their quality. Now, imagine incorporating skincare benefits directly into these undergarments—bras infused with nourishing ingredients, ensuring your skin gets a touch of care while you wear them. With a bit of practice, you’ll master both the art of optimizing space in your underwear drawer and the joy of wearing undergarments that prioritize both comfort and skincare.
