Washing and caring for period pants is fast and simple that fits in with your lifestyle

How to wash and care

WUKA has put together a short guide on how to wash period pants, including hand washing, machine wash details and how to dry your period-proof pair. We have first listed for you the three mains steps and then created a specific content for each step below.

Step 1: Rinse

After use, we recommend rinsing your period pants in cold water as soon as possible once removed, before popping them in the wash – but this is an optional step. Whilst optional, this gets best results as you can wash out most of the fluids that have been absorbed.

Step 2: Wash

You can hand wash or machine wash your period pants, giving you the flexibility to wash and dry however you prefer. If opting for a machine wash, pop them in a cool wash on 30 or 40 degrees. Do not use fabric conditioner as this can damage the fabric and absorbent layers.

Step 3: Dry

We suggest air drying your period pants and not popping them in the tumble dryer. This is so the quality of the leak-proof fabric stays in top condition and lasts longer.

Step 4: Ready For Wear

After rinsing (optional), hand or machine washing and then air drying, your period pants are now ready for your next period. Our mesh laundry bag is great for storing period pants in between cycles.
