How To Properly Care For Your Organic Period Underwear
To properly care for and prolong the life of your organic period underwear, follow these simple washing instructions:
Rinse: After use, rinse the underwear in cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove any excess blood before washing. If you are not ready to wash them immediately, hang them some where in the meantime; over a faucet works well.
Wash: Hand wash the underwear using a mild detergent in cold water, or place them in a laundry bag and machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softener or bleach.
Dry: Hang the underwear to air dry, preferably in direct sunlight. You can dry them in a dryer on a low heat. Always ensure your underwear are completely dry before putting them away.
Stain removal: If you rinse them well immediately, there should not be any staining. If staining does occur, you can use a gentle stain remover or create a baking soda paste (mix baking soda with water) and gently rub it onto the affected area before washing.
Storage: Store your clean and dry period underwear in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Avoid soaking as this may break down the natural fibers.
By following these washing instructions, you'll ensure your period underwear stays in optimal condition, providing you with reliable and long-lasting protection.
