WE CARE. YOU CARE. PERIOD PANT CARE.
Did you know that by correctly washing and caring for your period underwear you can extend their life and ensure their effectiveness? By following these simple steps, you can keep your period pants in the best working condition for ultimate comfort and protection.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
〰️ Rinse in cool water: After each use, rinse your period pants in cool water to remove any excess blood.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
〰️ Wash on a cool, delicate cycle: Once rinsed, put your period pants in the washing machine in the mesh laundry bag provided. This helps to protect the delicate modal fabric. Washing at 30 degrees is better for the planet and the fabric too. Make sure to wash them with similar colours to avoid any potential colour bleeding.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
〰️ Hang dry only: After washing, it's important to hang your period pants to dry. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as the heat can potentially damage the protective gusset layers inside our pants. Hang drying will help maintain the quality and absorbency of the fabric.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now let’s look at some things to avoid:
〰️ Avoid using softener and bleach: To maintain the absorbency and integrity of your period pants, avoid using fabric softener or bleach during washing. These harsh chemicals can affect the performance and lifespan of the fabric.
〰️Avoid soaking for extended periods: While it's essential to rinse your period pants after use avoid soaking them for extended periods. Prolonged soaking can lead to deterioration of the fabric.
〰️ Avoid tumble drying- Remember, looks can be deceiving: Even if your period pants appear fine on the outside after tumble drying, the internal layers may suffer from heat damage. So, be safe and opt for hang drying.
