We get this question all the time…
“How do I actually wash my period underwear?”
And the good news is, it’s really simple 🤍
Once you’ve done it once, it just becomes part of your normal routine.
Your simple care routine
After wearing your period undies:
1. Rinse in cold water
Give them a quick rinse until the water runs clear. This helps remove any blood before washing. We like to do this in the shower, or in the laundry sink.
2. Pop them in the wash
Wash in your machine on a cycle that is 40°C or less. put your period undies in with your regular dark colour load using a mild detergent.
3. Skip the extras
No fabric softener. No bleach. No stain remover. These can affect how well your undies absorb.
4. Air dry
Hang them out to dry, ideally in the sunshine ☀️
Fresh air and warmth help keep them feeling soft and smelling fresh.
A couple of extra tips
- Do not soak for days, this can cause bacteria growth and damage the material and absorbent layers
- Do not tumble dry, this could damage the water-proof layer inside the gusset. I mean, if you're travelling and you need to do a quick tumble, once or twice, this is fine.
-
You can wash them with your other clothes 👍
If you rinse the underwear out before your wash, there is no blood that can stain your clothes and your machine will do all the cleaning work for you. - Having a few pairs of period underwear on rotation makes life easier.
The most common question asked-
What do I do if I'm not washing clothes everyday?
Easy- rinse your underwear out well and just hang them in an airy spot until you are ready to do a load of washing. Don't leave them wet or damp in a bucket or in the sink, airflow is so important to avoid bacteria or the fabric going mouldy.
That’s it.
Simple, easy care so your period undies stay feeling comfortable, absorbent, and ready to go whenever you need them.
