Easy-to-wash menstrual panties !
1. Rinse in Cold Water
After wearing your period underwear, take them off and rinse them under COLD water until the water runs clear.
Don’t soak! Squeezing the gusset part as you’re rinsing is much more effective to get the deposit of blood out of the underwear. Soaking period underwear does not work as well to get the blood out of the gusset.
If you’ve bled into the underwear, you will be able to see that when you rinse them and squeeze them, the blood will run out with the water. You will know they are pretty well rinsed once the water is running clear.
Does period underwear stain? No, period underwear doesn’t stain. This underwear is literally designed to be bled into, so it makes sense that it is made to be stain resistant.
2. Gentle Cold Machine Wash
After rinsing, put them in with your next load of washing. Yes, you can wash period underwear with the rest of your clothes! Keep them extra safe by placing them in a delicates bag if you can.
Your best bet is to run a cold machine wash. You don’t want to use hot water as this can set in the blood. This is a good tip for how to wash out period blood stains in general, always use cold water! (Not that you’ll need to worry about period blood stains if you’re using period underwear!)
Do not use any fabric softener or harsh stain removers as these can interfere with the special technology of the fabric.
3. Hang out to Dry
The best way to dry period underwear is in the good old sun. Hang your period underwear to dry out on the clothesline and if you’re lucky to have some sun, make sure they’re in the sun too. This will help freshen them and dry them quickly.
Can you tumble dry period underwear? No! Please don’t tumble dry your period underwear. This may break down the high-tech function of the period underwear and reduce durability, meaning they won’t last as long.
Just be patient and allow them to air dry.
4. Extra Care Tips
If you want to go the extra mile in caring for your period underwear, store them in a dry laundry bag to stop any little bugs from eating at the natural fibres. Little closet bugs can be drawn to the natural fibres, so you want to ensure they are kept safely stored away from for extra protection.
Underwear is delicate and period underwear is no different. Be sure to follow the care instructions provided to you when you purchase your period underwear. Look after them and they’ll last longer!
