Would You Bring Worn Underwear to a Dry Cleaner?

Nah! That's what lingerie bags are for!

Ew. No way. I don't want a stranger handling my delicate things.

No, I would not. I just bring coats and expensive dresses to the dry cleaners, but not my lingerie.

I agree completely with this one. Corsets, bustiers, things like that can be sent, but actual lingerie? I'll dry clean at home

Nope. Hand washing is good enough for me.

Dry cleaning is expensive, and there are plenty of other methods. Hand washing, or the use of those dryer kits (put the dryer on No Heat for silk), the lingerie bag or pillow case method, the powder it with baking soda and vacuum it method (which I wouldn't try for undies, but it works great on dry-clean only suits), or for some things, use the dishwasher instead of the washing machine, to avoid the tumbling part of the experience. That last does not work for anything that's not supposed to get wet, of course, and most dishwashers don't have the cold only option, but it's fantastic for washing hats that need to hold their shape.

I wouldn't take panties to the dry cleaners, but I would definitely take a custom-made corset or bustier.

You can by-pass taking them by buying a home dry cleaning kit for your dryer. You should be able to find it at Wal-Mart, Target, and other such stores.

I think hand washing or a lingerie bag on delicate cycle would be best. My washing machine also has a hand wash setting in addition to the delicate setting.

No way! I think I'd stick with hand washing, or using a lingerie bag on the delicate cycle. For me though, no way would I take them to a dry cleaner!

I would do the same thing. I can't remember the last time I took anything to the dry cleaners, but I really try not to get dry clean only clothes. It's such a pain!

No. I'd either handwash, wash it in a lingerie bag, or buy one of those products that lets you dry clean your clothes at home. Pretty much if I wouldn't wear it out in public, I wouldn't bring it to the dry cleaners!

I chose other because I'm actually in the same dilemma. I have 2 lingerie pieces. One a corset, the other a 3 piece garter set that says dry clean! I really, really don't do dry clean except with my nice jackets. I have dresses that are silk and other delicates that I handwash even though it says dry clean and it works. I think I'd rather handwash my lingerie and undies. If it's going to hurt the pieces though, I guess I'd consider dry clean. I don't care for the prices, but I am a major cheapie

Bras & bustiers, if I needed to, but panties no way! I'd prefer to handwash if desperate.

I think hand washing would work. I've hand washed silk blouse. It shouldn't ruin the panties tbh.
