If you like your onesie as much as we love ours, then you’ll want to take proper care of it. Just follow our instructions, and you won’t have to worry!
So, your onesie just arrived, and all you want is to put it on and flounce your new loungewear. Well, if you want to have it for a long time, maybe you should read our maintenance advice, and know the facts about extending onesie’s life.
Recommended care
If you like how your new onesie fits straight out of the box, and you don’t want it to stretch or shrink, you need to wash it only in cold water. Also, never place it in a hot dryer. You can either hang your onesie to dry or set the dryer on the fluff setting. We have detailed shrinking levels for each onesie material and size right here. It might help you choose the right size of onesie when buying. Taking care of onesies is not that hard. As a matter of fact, it’s the same care you need in caring for your waist trainers for workout.
*Cotton Flannel Onesie
Our flannel onesies are made of 100% double brushed cotton. Essentially, that means that these should be washed like colors do, in cold water. These onesies aren’t pre-shrunk, so you can expect that they will shrink a bit after washing. In normal washer/dryer cycles, you can expect about 7% of overall shrinking.
When you calculate it, that means that your onesie will lose:
– Approx. 1 ½ – 2 inches in length and width if it is XS or S size
– Approx. 2 ¼ – 2 ½ inches in length and width if it is M size
– Approx. 2 ¾ inches in length and width if it is L size
– Approx. 3-3 ¼ inches in length and width if it is XL size
Your onesie will not shrink this much at once, but after two or three washer/dryer cycles. To minimize shrinking, wash your onesie in cold water, and hang it to dry.
*Cotton Jersey Knit Onesie
Our jersey onesies are made of 100% sateen cotton. That means that you should wash them in cold water, like colored clothing. Again, these models aren’t pre-shrunk, so you can expect them to shrink up to 7% in normal washer/dryer cycles.
When you calculate it, that means that your onesie will lose:
– Approx. 1 ½ – 2 inches in length and width if it is XS or S size
– Approx. 2 ¼ – 2 ½ inches in length and width if it is M size
– Approx. 2 ¾ inches in length and width if it is L size
– Approx. 3-3 ¼ inches in length and width if it is XL size
Your onesie will not shrink this much at once, but after two or three washer/dryer cycles. To minimize shrinking, wash your onesie in cold water, and hang it to dry.
*Polar Fleece Onesies
All our fleece onesies are made of 100% polyester, and they won’t pill if provided normal care. So, we recommend that you wash them like other colored clothing, in cold water, and tumble dry. A great thing about polar fleece onesies is that they don’t shrink. So, if you don’t want to have to worry about that aspect, fleece is the safest onesie material you can choose.
In the end, whichever of our onesies you choose, you will love it, and wear it for a long time.
