FAQs

How many tampons do these replace per year?

These washable period pants can help save up to 390 tampons from landfills annually.

How long can I wear them safely?

They are designed to provide reliable protection for 10-12 hours, making them suitable for both day and night use.

Can I put them in the washing machine?

Yes, they are suitable for a cool machine wash cycle, but they should not be tumble-dried on high heat.

How much fluid can they hold?

They feature heavy absorbency and can hold approximately 40ml of fluid, which is equivalent to 3-4 tampons.

Are these pants suitable for overnight use?

Yes, the boxer style and heavy absorbency make them a secure choice for sleeping throughout the night.

What should I avoid when washing these pants?

Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these substances can damage the absorbent layers and reduce effectiveness.

Troubleshooting

Visible leaking during use

Ensure the pants are the correct size and pulled up snugly against the body to create an effective seal.

Odor retention after washing

Ensure the pants are rinsed thoroughly with cold water immediately after use and try a pre-soak with a gentle detergent before machine washing.

Reduced absorbency over time

Avoid using fabric softeners during laundry, as they can build up on the fabric surface and impede fluid absorption.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces annual plastic waste
  • High absorbency suitable for heavy flow days
  • Comfortable boxer style offers excellent coverage
  • Versatile for both daytime activity and nighttime rest
  • Cost-effective alternative to frequent disposable purchases

Cons

  • Requires regular washing cycles to maintain supply
  • Initial investment is higher than single boxes of disposables
  • Takes time to air dry compared to immediate disposal

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before using the pants for the first time, it is recommended to wash them to ensure optimal performance. To maintain the integrity of the absorbent materials, always wash the garments on a cool setting. Do not use heavy fabric softeners or bleach, as these can coat the fibers and reduce the absorbency of the fabric. After washing, allow the pants to air dry; avoid using a high-heat tumble dryer to prevent damage to the elastic components. Ensure you check your fit before the first use, as the small size is tailored for specific measurements to ensure a leak-proof seal.
