FAQ
I saw news—are period underwear safe to use?
It’s understandable to have questions after seeing headlines. If you’re considering period underwear, focus on informed, comfortable use:
- Review the product details: Check the product page for materials, care instructions, and intended absorbency.
- Wash before first wear: A gentle, cold wash can help remove residues from manufacturing.
- Match absorbency to your needs: Use lighter or heavier options based on your flow and activity.
- Change as needed: Refresh during the day according to comfort and the item’s guidelines.
- Skin sensitivity: If you notice irritation, discontinue use and consider speaking with a healthcare professional.
- Extra peace of mind: Some people layer with other protection, especially when trying a new style at home.
How do I prevent odor in period underwear?
Odor is often caused by residue, delayed washing, or not drying fully. These steps can help:
- Rinse after wear: Rinse in cold water until it runs clear.
- Pre-soak if needed: A short cold-water soak can loosen buildup.
- Use mild detergent: Wash on cold; avoid fabric softeners and bleach, which can trap odors.
- Try an extra rinse: This can help remove leftover detergent.
- Air dry completely: Hang or lay flat; ensure they’re fully dry before storing.
- Occasional refresh: A brief cold soak with a small amount of white vinegar or a baking soda rinse may help (spot test for colorfastness first).
Results can vary based on water type and detergent. Persistent odor may suggest it’s time to replace older pairs.
How do I choose the right size and absorbency?
Start with fit, then pick absorbency that matches your day-to-day needs:
- Measure at home: Use a soft tape around the fullest part of your hips and compare to the size chart on the product page.
- Between sizes? Consider your fit preference (snug vs. relaxed) and check customer reviews for fit notes.
- Absorbency levels: Look for labels like light, moderate, or heavy. Match your typical flow and activity (e.g., office days vs. workouts).
- Test at home first: For a new style, try it on a lighter day or when you’re close to a bathroom to learn your ideal change cadence.
If you need more guidance, the product Q&A and size chart on the item page can offer helpful specifics.
How should I wash period underwear so they last?
Good care can help maintain performance and feel:
- Before first wear: Wash on cold with a mild detergent.
- After each use: Rinse in cold water until clear to prevent set-in stains.
- Machine wash cold: Gentle cycle is often preferred; consider a mesh laundry bag.
- Avoid additives: Skip bleach and fabric softeners, which can affect absorbency.
- Dry gently: Air dry flat or hang; high heat may reduce longevity.
- Store fully dry: Ensure items are completely dry before putting away.
Always follow the care tag on the specific item. Care routines can vary by fabric blend, and results may differ based on your water and detergent.
Why are some period underwear styles out of stock?
Availability can change due to demand, seasonality, and inventory updates across online and store locations. A few tips that may help:
- Check multiple options: Try different colors or sizes of the same style.
- Browse online and in-store: Availability can vary by location; enter your ZIP code to view nearby pickup or delivery options where offered.
- Use filters: Narrow by size, absorbency, and style to find similar items.
- Check back: Items may return as new shipments arrive, and new styles are added regularly.
- Order help: For questions about an order or returns, visit your account’s order history or the Help Center.
Selection may vary, so exploring similar products can be a useful backup.
