Learn how to fit and care for the Oleander Thong in organic dyed marigold yellow silk charmeuse, from choosing your size to hand washing and drying.
Quick answer
Choose your usual size using the size chart, selecting custom sizing if your measurements fall between sizes. Then hand wash the thong in cool water with a gentle detergent, avoid wringing, and lay it flat to dry away from direct sun.
Why the scrunch cut and silk charmeuse change how you size
The Oleander Thong is a classic scrunch style, which means the back is designed to gather rather than lie flat. That cut gives some flexibility, but the silk charmeuse fabric has little stretch, so the waist and leg openings need to fit correctly from the start. If you are between sizes, custom sizing is available and can be selected in the sizing drop-down menu. Do not size up hoping the silk will relax; it will not.
The thong also uses latex-free elastic and merrow edges. These finishes are comfortable but can be damaged by heat or rough handling, so your care routine matters as much as your size choice.
What to avoid when washing organic dyed silk
Organic dyed silk charmeuse is sensitive to heat, harsh detergents, and prolonged soaking. Hot water can cause the dye to fade or bleed, and chlorine or bleach will damage the silk fibers. Even gentle machine cycles can stretch the delicate merrow edges and elastic. Treat this thong as a hand-wash-only item to keep the marigold yellow color and the silk’s smooth finish intact.
How to fit and care for your Oleander Thong
- Check the size chart before ordering: Compare your hip and waist measurements to the size chart. If you fall between sizes, choose the custom sizing option in the drop-down menu rather than guessing. A thong that is too small will pull at the merrow edges and stress the silk; too large will not stay in place.
- Hand wash in cool water: Fill a basin with cool water and a small amount of gentle detergent. Submerge the thong and gently squeeze the water through the fabric for about a minute. Do not rub, twist, or leave it to soak. Never use hot water or chlorine bleach, which can fade the marigold yellow dye and weaken the silk.
- Rinse thoroughly and remove excess water: Rinse with cool water until no suds remain. Press the thong between your palms or roll it in a clean towel to absorb water. Do not wring or twist the fabric. Wringing can stretch the silk and distort the scrunch back.
- Lay flat to dry away from heat and sun: Shape the thong and lay it flat on a clean towel or drying rack. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from radiators or other heat sources. Hanging the thong can stretch it out of shape; direct sun may fade the organic dye.
