How to Care for Your Men’s Underwear to Extend Its Life

Men’s underwear is more than just a basic wardrobe item, it’s a daily essential that combines comfort, support, and performance. Proper care keeps your underwear looking and feeling great and extends its lifespan, ensuring you get the most out of your investment.

Whether it's boxers or briefs, here's how to care for your men’s underwear and socks the right way.

Washing Your Underwear

Crossfly underwear is designed to handle standard washing conditions, but following a few simple steps can help maintain its quality. Wash your underwear at temperatures up to 40 degrees Celsius. This keeps the fabric soft, breathable, and supportive without risking shrinkage or damage.

Avoid washing Crossfly underwear with abrasive fabrics like towels. These can cause friction, which may weaken the fibers and reduce comfort. For the best results, wash your underwear with similar fabrics to preserve their shape and finish.

Drying Tips

When it comes to drying, natural air drying is ideal. Hang your underwear in a well-ventilated space, away from direct sunlight, to avoid fading or weakening the fabric. If you need to use a tumble dryer, keep the heat on low. High temperatures can compromise the elasticity of the waistband and the integrity of the fabric.

The same care applies to your Crossfly socks. Wash them in low to mid temperatures and allow them to dry naturally whenever possible. Proper drying preserves the cushioning and moisture-wicking properties, keeping your socks performing at their best for longer.

Storing Your Underwear

Storing your underwear properly also plays a role in its longevity. Fold them neatly to avoid unnecessary stretching or creasing. Avoid overcrowding drawers, as this can distort the shape over time. A clean, organized storage space helps maintain the comfort and fit of your underwear and socks.

Additional Tips for Longevity

  • Avoid bleach or harsh detergents, as these can weaken fibers.

  • Minimize contact with Velcro or rough surfaces that can snag fabric.

  • Rotate your underwear and socks regularly to reduce wear on any single piece.

By following these simple care routines, your Crossfly underwear and socks will maintain their softness, support, and performance for months, even with daily use.

Proper care makes a difference. Keep your Crossfly underwear and socks in top condition by following these steps and enjoy lasting comfort every day. Explore the full range of Crossfly underwear for styles that combine innovation, performance, and comfort.
