Washing absorbent panties is super easy! We have prepared a detailed step-by-step guide to help you with this process:
1. Keep your used panties in the waterproof bag:
First of all, keep your used panties in a clean place until they can be washed (or left to soak). We recommend Korui waterproof bags as they keep the panties moist, which makes washing them easier. Remember, the sooner your underwear is washed (or left to soak), the easier it will be to clean.
2. Machine or hand wash:
Absorbent panties can be washed in the machine along with your clothes and you can use the amount of soap recommended by the manufacturer. You can choose to soak it for half an hour and/or remove excess blood in cold water before placing it in the machine. You can also wash your panties by hand (even while showering), just remember to remove excess soap. You can use neutral soap or the Sanitizer for menstrual accessories, all made with vegan ingredients, super safe for your body and zero impact on the planet. Just washing is enough to disinfect your panties but, if you wish, you can dip them in a solution of tea tree oil, eucalyptus or any other mild disinfectant. The sun also has natural disinfectant power.
3. Dry in the Sun:
Dry your panties in the sun on the wrong side, this way you preserve the print and always leave them dry and with that sunny smell! On rainy days you can also dry the shade, but it is important to make sure it is dry before storing. Never iron.
Attention: You can use your panties after the first wash, but remember that they will only reach maximum absorption capacity after around 8 to 10 washes.
The fabrics on its inner layer may fade. This happens because it has an inner layer made of cotton, a natural fiber that reacts to the pH of the blood.
We do not recommend boiling or ironing.
4. Store your panties in a cool, dry place:
At the end of your menstrual cycle, store your underwear in a cool, dry place for your next cycle.
