How to keep your period underwear hygienic and durable
Period underwear is a sustainable alternative to disposable products such as tampons and pads. However, to ensure that it lasts as long as possible and maintains its absorbency, proper care is crucial. Here are the most important tips for cleaning and caring for your period underwear.
1. Rinse immediately with cold water
After wearing your period underwear, you should immediately rinse it with cold water. This will help to remove the blood from the fabric and prevent stains.
2. Wash gently in the washing machine
Wash your period underwear in the washing machine at a maximum of 30°C. Use a mild, enzyme-free detergent and avoid fabric softener, as this can impair absorbency.
3. Hand wash for particularly sensitive models
If your period underwear is made of particularly sensitive materials, we recommend hand washing it with lukewarm water and a gentle detergent.
4. Do not put in the dryer
Let your period underwear air dry. The dryer can damage the fibers and shorten the life of the product.
5. Regular inspection and proper storage
Store your period underwear in a dry, well-ventilated place. Check regularly for signs of wear and tear so you can replace them in time.
Why is proper care so important?
Good care extends the life of your period underwear and ensures that it continues to absorb reliably. It also remains hygienic and comfortable to wear.
