Line dry is a must for anything with lycra. The fibers disintegrate in the heat of a dryer. as for spray and wash, some ladies who are sensitive will need to be careful about that. If you add an extra rinse cycle, then any detergent or extras should be fine and not irritate the sensitive skin down there. I don't know for sure about fabric softeners but they are harmful to many fabrics, especially those with any waterproofing. read your labels because fabric softener might be bad for lycra too.
Who knew washing could be so difficult?!
fabric softeners affect wicking and water repellent properties of the high tech polyesters found specifically in fleeces.
