These briefs are ready to wear immediately. For compatibility, they are designed to be paired with other items from the Ann Summers Sexy Lace collection, especially matching bras, to complete a cohesive lingerie set. While versatile for various outfits, ensure your outer clothing allows for the high-waist and Brazilian cut to lay smoothly. For care, proper maintenance is key to preserving the delicate lace and recycled fabrics. It is recommended to hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. If machine washing, use a lingerie bag on a delicate cycle with similar colors. Avoid harsh bleaches or strong detergents. Always air dry flat or hang dry; do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the elastic and lace. Store flat to prevent snagging or stretching.
