FAQs
How much fluid can these knickers hold?
These knickers are designed for medium leaks and have been tested to hold up to 15ml, which is equivalent to the absorbency of 2-3 tampons.
How do I wash my NIXI Body knickers?
Wash them in your washing machine at 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid using fabric conditioner and do not tumble dry them. Allow them to dry naturally.
Can I wear these on my heaviest period days?
These knickers are recommended for medium leaks. For your heaviest period days, you may need to use additional protection or opt for a product designed for higher absorbency.
What is the lifespan of these reusable knickers?
With proper care, NIXI Body knickers can be used, washed, and reused for up to 2 years.
What materials are the knickers made from?
The main body is made from 88% nylon and 12% elastane. The gusset is a mix of 95% cotton and 5% elastane, with an absorbent middle layer made of 80% polyester and 20% nylon, backed by breathable TPU.
Are these suitable for incontinence?
Yes, they are suitable for medium leaks, which includes light incontinence.
What does 'No VPL' mean?
'No VPL' stands for 'No Visible Panty Line'. The seamless edging is designed to be invisible under clothing, ensuring a smooth look.
Troubleshooting
Knicker not absorbing effectively
Ensure the absorbent middle layer is not blocked by any residue. Proper washing without fabric conditioner is crucial for maintaining absorbency. For heavier than medium flows, consider layering with a pad or using a product designed for heavier days.
Visible panty line still present
Ensure the knickers are the correct size and are sitting smoothly against the skin. Try adjusting the positioning of the waistband and leg seams.
Waterproof layer feels damaged
This is likely due to incorrect washing. Avoid fabric conditioner and high heat. If damage is significant, the product's lifespan may be reduced.
Discomfort or irritation
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Wash the garment before first use. If irritation persists, discontinue use.
