Quick answer
Wash Non-Stop Stretch Cotton underwear in cold water on a gentle cycle, then tumble dry on low or air dry to preserve the 4-way stretch and BallPark Pouch® shape.
Why gentle care matters for stretch cotton
The Non-Stop Stretch Cotton fabric uses lightweight cotton blended with elastane for 4-way stretch. High heat and harsh detergents can break down the elastane fibers, causing the fabric to lose its stretch and softness over time. Gentle washing and drying help the cotton stay soft without bagging out.
What to avoid
Bleach and fabric softeners can damage the cotton fibers and reduce the pouch's breathability. Skip them to keep the fabric feeling fresh. Also avoid overloading the washer, which can cause friction and pilling on the cotton surface.
Step-by-step care routine
- Step 1: Turn inside out and zip up: Turn each pair of Non-Stop Stretch Cotton boxer briefs inside out before washing. This protects the outer fabric and the BallPark Pouch® from friction. If you have a mesh laundry bag, use it for extra protection. Turning inside out reduces pilling and keeps the pouch shape intact.
- Step 2: Wash cold on gentle cycle: Set your machine to a cold water gentle or delicate cycle. Use a mild liquid detergent — avoid bleach and fabric softener. Wash with similar colors to prevent dye transfer. A common mistake: using hot water or a heavy-duty cycle, which can weaken the elastane and shrink the cotton. Cold water and gentle cycle preserve stretch and softness.
- Step 3: Dry on low heat or air dry: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry. High heat is the fastest way to damage stretch cotton. If using a dryer, remove the underwear while still slightly damp to avoid over-drying. Do not iron — the heat can melt the elastane fibers. Low heat or air drying extends the life of the 4-way stretch.
