I am a huge fan of Forever New, the popular lingerie detergent for cleaning your delicate items. I mentioned this a few months ago (actually, my first article for The Lingerie Post!) It’s the only detergent I’ll use on my lingerie – it is specially formulated to restore spandex while delicately cleaning lacey and delicate fabrics.
We just got word from Forever New that they have redesigned the package of their “For a Friend†gift box. The new gift boxes come neatly packaged in a little pink box with a handle and swirling ribbon graphics. Inside, you’ll find an 8 ounce bottle of Forever New and an oversized lace lingerie wash bag. While the experts recommend hand washing your lingerie, we’ve all had times when we’re too busy (or just too tired!) to spend the time it takes to do that. This is where the lingerie bag comes in handy – you can use your Forever New detergent and your lingerie bag with your washing machine’s gentle cycle. The 17†x 17†bag can hold two large bras and is even roomy enough to accommodate a sweater (because we all do need to wear clothes over our pretty bras sometimes!)
This would definitely be a great gift at a bridal shower or bachelorette party, where your friend will be receiving loads of new delicate items! The lingerie bag would be especially handy in her newlywed days, when she’ll have a lot of pretty things and not much time to wash them! Of course it’s also a great present to give yourself, too. 😉
I am a huge fan of Forever New too. I acutally use it more during the winter. It is great to use on cashmere and wool sweaters in the washing machine. I am serious. My sweaters actually come out softer than before they went in. I like to use Forever new on my sheets as well. It helps protect the integrity of the elastic.
Plus, I have senstive skin so it is even better for that. It also has a really light, but nice scent.
I know that bathing suit season is over, but they make a product for compression garments and bathing suit material. It is called Varience…in case anyone is intersested.
I think Forever New is all about protecting your investment. Lingerie and swimwear are special and can be expensive, being eduacted about the right products and why they are better will allow you to enjoy the things you love even longer.
I sell it at my store, http://www.gigiscloset.com if anybodys needs some.
