Washing in cold & air drying has done it for me! Even my most used Lululemon apparel has lasted me going on 3 years now..let it live on

Hi Lauren,
Your running tanks shouldn’t be snagging on the fabrics of your run bottoms. My recommendation is take your gear to your local store so we can chat about our suggestions for running gear. I tend to layer tanks like the Cool Racerback with a medium support bra for my runs and I don’t find they snag on bonded seaming. If you’re not near a local store, be sure to give us a call at the GEC (1.877.263.9300) in regards to this.

I’ve had a couple of tanks (105, Back on Track) very badly snagged from the bonded trim on the bonded turbo run shorts and the track time crops. The bonded trim seems to stick to the tops and snag them. What Lululemon fabrics is it safe to wear over the bonded Lululemon shorts/crops?

Hi Natasha,
We do not recommend using fabric softer in your gear as it coats the technical fabric and inhibits its wicking capabilities.

Could you please clarify whether or not we should use fabric softener on these clothes? I always add it to my rinse cycle, but I just saw Ellie’s post above and now I’m not so sure. Thank you in advance.

Hi Jessica,
If you’re near a local store, certainly take in your pants so we can take a look at them. If heading into a store isn’t an option, you can give us a call at the GEC (1.877.263.9300) with more details so we can chat about a solution.

Just like Clare said I also get pilling in the crotch area of my Wunder Unders. I would love to know if there is a way to prevent this becuase other than that they are the best pants I own!

I recently bought my first pair of running pants and I love them! But I’ve wore them once, and they already have snagg fuzz balls on the top thigh.. I don’t know what todo! I love these but I’m alittle upset since I just bought these. Please help

Hi Ashley,
We haven’t tested for bleach on our gear so it’s not something I recommend. I have tried soaking my gear in liquid soap and water before a wash.

Is it safe to bleach my white reversible tank? I accidentally washed it with all my dark clothing, and it isn’t looking as white and bright as it used to!

And no fabric softener right?! That’s how we educate in our store

Hi Meghan,
We recommend washing your Wunder Unders on a cold cycle and air to dry. I tend to switch which side is on the outside during the wash myself. Here’s also a quick link to our product care page: http://bit.ly/tR1GrT

If my Wunder Unders are reversible, what’s the best way to wash them? As I don’t want the black or bright purple to fade.

Thanks for posting about washing inside out. I was my wunder unders inside out and haven’t had any problems. Love those pants!
