Purchase and Care Tips for Leather Lingerie
Fine leather lingerie is sexy, erotic and easy to care for. Once you locate a good retailer, you can select a piece by hand or by the attractiveness of the garment. When speaking in terms of leather, the "hand" refers to the actual feel of the leather to your skin. The softer and more pliable the leather is, the more expensive it is. The "hand" of the leather lingerie doesn't affect the care of the fabric as much as you might think. It is more important to keep fine leather lingerie in good condition. You can do this yourself or you can take it to a dry cleaner and have your leather lingerie cleaned by a professional. If you take it to a dry cleaner, be sure that they specialize in leather care. Traditional dry cleaning techniques dry and crack leather, a leather care specialist will use a gentler method to care for your leather lingerie.
If you spill a drink or if water on your leather lingerie, blot it dry with a soft dry towel. You can purchase leather lotion for your garment which replaces natural oils that protect your leather. Remember that your leather lingerie is a by-product of beef cattle. The leather needs body oils to stay in good shape. You can pick up the leather lotions at most outlets that sell fine leathers. The leather lotion contains lanolin, which will protect your lingerie.
You shouldn't apply perfumes, scented oils or hair care products while you are wearing your leather lingerie. If you have to apply them after you have the leather lingerie on, wear a bath robe over your garment before you apply the hairspray or perfumes. This will prevent the oils and acrylics from staining or discoloring your lingerie. These tips will help your leather lingerie last in great shape.
