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. Turn on the faucet so it’s running steadily, but not blasting like an infomercial for a new dishwasher on TV. The flow should be strong enough to break up any stains, but not too powerful that water is splashing everywhere – because again, nobody likes when that happens! Step 2: We know it’s hard to keep a straight face while doing this, but if you’re looking for a laugh, there are worse ways. Hold the crotch of your underwear under the cold water. Turn the underwear so the stained crotch is facing upward and place it so that the stream of cold water hits directly on top of any blood stains. Rinse away as much blood as you can with some rinsing and your fingers or a cloth. Step 3: Drop a little soap on the stain and work it in with your hands until you have created a good lather. The water will dissolve some of the oils from the drop, but this is not enough to get the job done without some help. 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 toContinue Reading

Here are the steps to wash your Period Starter Panties: Step 1: Make your sink so that the water won’t flow down the drain. Step 2: Pour body wash/liquid detergent into the sink. DO NOT USE BLEACH OR SOFTENER. Step 3: Try to have a balance of 25% body wash and 75% liquid detergent. Step 4: Leave panties to soak for 30 minutes through 2 hours, depending on how dirty the panties are. Step 5: After panties have soaked, hand wash them with some bar soap, preferably the kind you use, or are used to. Step 6: Make sure to be reasonably rough, depending on the fabric the panties are made of. Step 7: Remove panties from the sink. Step 8: Drain the sink. Step 9: Thoroughly rinse panties with water from the sink. Step 10: Let them air dry by hanging them up on a rack in your bathroom. Or the easier way which our sister and I love it: Step 1: Throw it into the laundry machine/washing machine with detergent. NO BLEACH OR SOFTENER. Step 2: Throw it into the dryer in any setting and let it dry!Continue Reading

Pads or Panties? The ultimate question, every woman wants an answer. The first time my sister and I saw reusable period underwear, we thought it was a joke. How could someone want to wear their own blood in their panties? However, as soon as my monthly visitor arrived, the joke became less funny. And thanks to my mom’s uterus envy (seriously!), she made some period panties so that we never have to worry about what happens when Aunt Flo comes over again! So, what is a reusable period pad? It’s basically a cloth pad you attach to your underwear. They come in all sorts of different fabrics and styles so there’s something for everyone! Reusable pads can be another easy swap. Either to back up an internal product or to use alone. They’re worn as well as your normal underwear and differ from reusable underwear because they are also used externally. Wanna know which is the better of two evils? Pads or underwear? You should probably use period pads if you want to get more bang for your buck with pads because they’re cheaper than underwear, and that means you can buy more. Unlike underwear, it’s easier to change the pad throughout the day (though this is just a personal preference). But do you know what is awesome? My sister and I provide wetbag in both period starter pads kit and period starter panties kit. However, my sister and I always prefer our period starter panties over period starter pads during the night as we are just too lazy to change. What about you? Which do you actually prefer?
