How do you clean menstrual underwear?

To keep your menstrual underwear clean, wash them immediately after use in cold water, machine wash without fabric softener, and air dry. Proper care ensures that your underwear will continue to absorb and keep you clean and safe for a long time.

Steps for cleaning menstrual underwear

1. Initial rinse: Immediately after use, rinse the underwear in cold water until the water runs clear. You can soak for a few minutes. Do not rub hard.
2. Washing: Hand or machine wash with mild soap only, no fabric softener or bleach. It is recommended to wash separately or in a laundry net.
3. Drying: Hang to air dry (preferably in the shade). Do not put in the dryer, to preserve the fabric and absorbency.

Tips for keeping menstrual underwear for a long time

• Wash your underwear after each use, especially on hot days.
• If you cannot wash immediately, rinse and store in a ventilated cloth bag until washing.
• Once every few months, you can soak it in cold water with a drop of natural vinegar - to maintain freshness.
• Avoid hanging directly in strong sunlight or wringing the fabric vigorously.

Mistakes to avoid

• Do not use fabric softener or bleach – they impair the absorbency of the fabric.
• Washing in hot water can destroy the fibers – always choose cold or lukewarm water.
• Do not dry in a tumble dryer – the heat damages flexibility and absorption.
• Do not rub hard – gentleness preserves the absorbent layers.
• First wash – it is best not to mix with white clothes.
