How do I wash period and leak proof underwear?
- Rinse your period underwear in cold water as soon as you can after removal and rinse until the water starts to run clear.
- Wash in a wash bag (this is not essential, but will help your underwear last longer).
- Wash on a cold cycle – max up to 85 degrees. If you’re hand-washing, the water should feel close to room temperature. Do not bleach. Do not soak
- Line dry only – we recommend drying in the sun if you can, sunlight has natural anti-microbial properties that are good for your undies. Do not tumble dry. Do not Iron.
Tip: Hold the softener! Fabric softener is your period undies worst enemy. It leaves a “water-proof” film on textiles that can counteract the natural bamboo absorbing properties of your period undies
Do I need to wash them before wear?
Yes, we recommend putting them through the wash before the first time you wear them to help to activate the technology in the gusset.
How often should I replace period and leak proof underwear?
If you take good care of your period underwear, during and after you use them, by washing them in a cold wash and line drying them, they will last for up to 20 washes. We have conducted a third-party wash test to ensure this, with the testing verified following the global standard for domestic washing - ISO6330.
Can I wash with my other clothes?
Washing with the rest of your laundry is perfectly hygienic and won’t stain your other clothes. Washing machines will dilute the blood almost immediately, and other garments will not stain if you're washing on cold.
