FAQs

How many pairs of Mooncup Period Underwear do I need?

The number of pairs needed varies per person. A common recommendation is to have 3-5 pairs to ensure you always have a clean pair available throughout your cycle, especially if you wash laundry every few days.

Can I wear Mooncup Period Underwear overnight?

How long does a pair of Mooncup Period Underwear last?

Are Mooncup Period Underwear safe to use?

How do I know when to change my period underwear?

This depends on your individual flow. You can typically wear them for several hours (up to 12 for heavy flow) and change when they feel saturated or you want a fresh pair. It's a similar concept to changing a pad or tampon, but with the added benefit of reusable comfort.

Are they machine washable?

Yes, Mooncup Period Underwear are machine washable. Rinse after use, then wash on a gentle cycle. Air dry only; do not bleach or iron.

Troubleshooting

Underwear not absorbing as expected

Ensure the underwear has been washed and dried correctly according to care instructions. Over time, fabric softeners or certain detergents can reduce absorbency; try a vinegar rinse to help restore it.

Leakage occurs

Check if the size is appropriate and if the underwear is positioned correctly. For very heavy flows, consider changing more frequently or using in conjunction with another menstrual product for added security.

Discomfort or irritation

Ensure you are not allergic to the fabric materials. Make sure the underwear is clean and fully dry before wearing. Wear only for appropriate durations based on your flow and change when necessary.

Fabric pilling or damage after washing

Avoid using bleach and do not tumble dry or iron. Wash on a gentle cycle and air dry to preserve the fabric integrity.
