FAQs
How much fluid can these knickers hold?
The NIXI Body Sporty Hip Hugger knickers are designed to hold up to 15ml of fluid, which is approximately equivalent to 2-3 standard tampons. This makes them suitable for medium menstrual flow or light incontinence.
How often should I change them?
Like any period product, they should be changed when they feel saturated or at regular intervals similar to how you would change a pad or tampon. For medium flow, this might be every 4-6 hours, depending on your personal needs.
Can I wear them overnight?
These are recommended for medium leaks and daytime use. For overnight protection, especially on heavier flow days, you may need a product with higher absorbency.
How do I wash them?
Wash them in a washing machine at 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid using fabric conditioner and do not tumble dry, as these can damage the waterproof lining. Dry them naturally.
What are they made of?
The main body is a blend of 75% nylon and 25% elastane. The absorbent middle layer consists of breathable TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) and a polyester/nylon mix. The gusset is made from a 95% cotton and 5% elastane blend.
How long do they last?
With proper care, these reusable knickers can be used, washed, and reused for up to two years.
What does 'No VPL' mean?
'No VPL' stands for 'No Visible Panty Line'. The design of these knickers, with their seamless edging, ensures they are invisible under clothing, preventing any lines from showing.
Troubleshooting
Knicker not absorbing effectively
Ensure the waterproof layer has not been damaged by fabric conditioner or high washing temperatures. Check that the knickers are fully dry before use. Wash according to care instructions.
Visible panty line (VPL)
Ensure the knickers are the correct size and are pulled up properly. The seamless edging is designed to be invisible, so proper fit is key. Adjusting the position of the knicker's leg openings might also help.
Discomfort or chafing
Verify the size is correct. If the knickers are too small, they may cause discomfort. Ensure the fabric is clean and free from residue. Allow the fabric to soften naturally after a few washes if initially stiff.
Leakage
These knickers are designed for medium leaks (up to 15ml). For heavier flow, consider using them in conjunction with another period product or opting for a higher absorbency product. Ensure a snug fit around the legs and hips.
