How Do I Remove Stains On My Underwear? Getting your period can be uncomfortable enough, but worrying about stains in your favorite underwear can make it even worse. If you get a period, it’s almost inevitable that you’ll eventually have to clean blood out of your undies. Fortunately, if you act quickly, there are tons of ways to remove the stain completely and keep those delicates looking just like they did on day one! Before we dive into removing blood stains, we need to know what kind of underwear you are talking about. TAKE NOTE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT NORMAL UNDERWEAR. Step 1: We all know the drill. If you’re in a pinch and need to wash your underwear as soon as possible, just make sure you use cold water.

Step 4: As we all know, wet underwear is not exactly the most pleasant thing on this planet. The good news? There are a few ways you can quickly and easily dry them off. First off, wrap your underwear in a towel to avoid any excess water from seeping through onto the floor or other clothing items. Next take your underwear out of the water and gently squeeze it so that any excess liquid drips out of it. Then place your underwear on a thick towel and roll up tightly so that the fabric is pressed against itself for 2-3 minutes while patting and squeezing at intervals to get as much moisture out as possible. Step 5: In order to keep your underwear fresh and not full of stink, you need to hang them up to dry. If you have a clothesline, use clothespins to
