Would you like to know how to wash and care for your MyBelly clothing so it keeps its shape, colour, and elasticity for as long as possible? Whether you’re wearing our activewear, swimwear, or maternity pieces, proper garment care is essential for both durability and comfort.
When you invest in MyBelly clothing, you’re choosing quality, support, and functionality designed to follow you through an active everyday life – both during and after pregnancy. To help your clothing stay beautiful and functional, we’ve created a detailed care guide that shows you how to look after your favourite pieces.
These tips apply to our entire collection, including activewear, swimwear, and upcoming styles made from soft, elastic, and technical materials.
1. Air out your clothing after use
After a workout or a busy day, your garments benefit from fresh air.
Hang them up so moisture and heat can escape – this reduces odours and prevents unnecessary wear on the fibres. This is especially important for technical fabrics designed to wick away moisture.
2. Always wash in cold water
Cold water is one of the most effective ways to protect elastic fibres.
It helps preserve:
- colour
- fit
- compression and elasticity of the fabric
Choose a gentle cycle and avoid hot temperatures, which can break down the material over time.
3. Use a mild detergent – and feel free to add white vinegar
A mild, fragrance-free detergent is all you need to keep your MyBelly clothing clean.
We also recommend adding half a cup of white vinegar occasionally during the rinse cycle.
Vinegar neutralises odours, dissolves soap residue, and leaves the fabric soft without damaging its elasticity.
4. Avoid fabric softener
Fabric softener can coat the material, reducing breathability and wearing down elastic fibres.
We suggest skipping it altogether – especially when washing technical fabrics, swimwear, or garments with compression zones.
5. Let your clothing dry naturally
Hang your garments to dry, preferably flat or on a wide hanger.
Tumble drying and direct heat (like radiators or strong sunlight) can damage both fibres and colour.
Air-drying helps maintain the shape, support, and fit that MyBelly is known for.
6. Wash separately from rough materials
To prevent pilling and friction, wash your MyBelly pieces separately from rough textiles such as jeans, towels, or items with zippers.
This protects the surface of the fabric and keeps it looking smooth and fresh.
7. Rinse swimwear after each use
If your MyBelly swimwear has been in chlorinated or saltwater, rinse it in clean cold water right away.
This preserves the fabric’s elasticity and helps maintain vibrant colours.
Take care of your clothes – and yourself
By following these simple yet effective care tips, you can enjoy your MyBelly clothing for a long time – with the same support, softness, and comfort as the day you bought it.
