How to wash period panties correctly? 6 simple maintenance tips
Menstrual panties must be washed the first time you buy them, before they are used for the first time. To be able to wear them, wash them by hand or use a gentle cycle in the washing machine, but at a temperature of no more than 40 degrees. After each use, it is important that you follow the steps below and follow the care instructions.
1. Rinse them in cold water
You've worn your underwear for your period and it's time to change it. After use, wash them with cold water to remove menstrual blood. You know the absorbent area is completely clean when the water you rinse them in remains completely clear. The most important thing is to rinse them before the blood hardens, so that the absorbent layers are thoroughly cleaned. Do not soak your underpants in cold water for more than 15 minutes.
2. Wash them by hand or in the machine at a maximum of 40 degrees Celsius
After rinsing in cold water, wash the menstrual underwear as normal, as is the case with all other underwear. We recommend that you use a mild, perfume-free detergent that thoroughly cleans the absorbent layers without damaging them in any way. Use an underwear bag to put them in before putting them in the washing machine. Very important! Do not wash menstrual underwear at temperatures above 40 degrees, and choose a program with fewer revolutions. Do not squeeze them hard with your hand, as you can damage the layers.
3. Do not use bleach or conditioner
When washing your period panties, use only detergent. Balm or bleach is not recommended as they can destroy the absorbent layers and also lead to irritation in the intimate area.
4. Use Femi.Eko menstrual panties cleaning gel
You can use the special cleaning gel developed by the Femi.Eko specialists when you're on the go, and it's not as convenient to wash your menstrual underwear as at home. We are talking about a product made from natural ingredients that is suitable for all reusable menstrual products. To clean menstrual underwear, rinse it with cold water and then soak it in warm water to make it easier to wash. Then add the gel and rinse until the water runs clear.
5. Dry them naturally
Menstrual panties dry naturally, not in the dryer or on the radiator. Temperatures above 40 degrees damage the waterproof coating, so if you want to enjoy them as long as possible without having to replace them, you must let them dry freely and thoroughly. Invest in a combination that includes several pairs of panties in different patterns and colors that you can change during your period. It is important to let the panties dry thoroughly so that the layers are not damp before putting them on, otherwise they will give off odors and excessive moisture, making them a bad environment for unwanted bacteria.
6. Don't iron them
Menstrual panties are not ironed. If you use an iron, the high temperature will melt the waterproof layer and ruin the underwear.
7. Sanitation
If you have used your panties while you have had a vaginal infection, you can do a disinfecting rinse by washing them quickly at 60 degrees. You can also do this ritual if you feel that they have developed an unpleasant smell. Do it no more than twice a year if you want a long period of effective absorption.
Here you can you see the Femi.Eko specialists' recommendations explained in detail, which will help you keep your menstrual underwear in good condition for as long as possible. At the same time, you can add new designs to your collection, e.g. Smilla or Freja, which have lace inserts and will make you feel good in your sexy, feminine and strong skin.

Cleaning a pair of period panties is a very simple and quick process. You can wash them by hand or in the washing machine as long as you follow the instructions above. Not only does it not take long to wash them, but proper cleaning also extends their life. Buy them once and use them for at least 2 years. Pretty cost effective, right?
