How to hand wash period pants?

Hand washing is the gentlest and safest way to care for your period panties, preserving their absorbency for a long time. Just follow a few simple steps to ensure hygiene, durability, and maximum absorbency.

  1. Rinse immediately : As soon as you remove your underwear, rinse it thoroughly with cold water until the water runs clear. This step is essential to remove residue and preserve the fabric's absorbency.

  2. Delicate wash : Hand wash your briefs using a neutral detergent, preferably without harsh fragrances. Avoid bleach and fabric softener, as they can damage the technical fibers and reduce the product's effectiveness.

  3. Water temperature : Choose cold or lukewarm water (no higher than 30°C). High temperatures can compromise the absorbency and shorten the life of the garment.

  4. Natural drying : After washing, gently wring out the underwear without twisting it and let it air dry in a ventilated, shaded area. Do not use a dryer or place it directly on a radiator or heat source, as this can damage the fibers.
