subject: Lingerie Bags: Transporting Delicates [print this page] Lingerie Bags are Laundry Bags specially designed for the transport of lingerie laundry, whether downstairs to the basement of your house or down the block to the laundromat in your neighborhood. They are available in many colors and styles, for example with drawstrings and without, or in demure white or see-through mesh. Lingerie bags, like almost all laundry bags, can be made of many different materials, like nylon or cotton, and can even be used for purposes other than simply laundry.
Nylon lingerie bags are inexpensive and can be rather strong, which means they may even be used for the carrying of anything and everything. Nylon can also be engineered to feel silky soft, a particularly fitting characteristic for lingerie bags. Those made of cotton can also feel soft and delicate to the touch, of course, but not with the same silky smoothness, nor that sexy silky sheen.
While most laundry sacks can admit multiple applications, these bags for lingerie in are probably best left to the simple holding and transport of delicate undergarments. Again, it all depends on how things were engineered - nylon can be quite soft and vulnerable, as in silk-like nylon stockings, whereas cotton can be woven extra thick and tough, as they were in the old days before the invention of nylon fabric. But generally speaking, cotton is a very soft material, and though not constructed of clothing-grade fabric, the cotton used for laundry and lingerie bags can still be much more susceptible to rips and tears if used for heavy duty applications - such as that aforementioned transport of anything and everything.
In any case, there is one exception to the above statement that lingerie bags are best left to laundering duties, and that is the various arts and crafts applications for which they may be used. It all depends on your own ingenuity, your own imagination and creativity. With just a few careful alterations here and there, such bags can even be turned into costumes for Purim or Halloween! Or maybe a simple sock puppet or two. Some lingerie bags are even accordion-shaped - lots of ideas there.
Such ideas may be amusing, but they can really work, as long as you have the right materials to work with. And, of course, it boils down to your imagination in the end. Of course, you can just leave the sacks alone and use them only for the one obvious thing! But why shouldn't they multitask like everything else in the 21st Century?
