Wash & Care
A little care goes a long way. Follow these steps and your Her Bloom pair will stay soft, absorbent, and leak-proof for years, not just months.
Rinse first
Rinse in cold water after wearing. Don't overthink it. Rinse in the sink, tub, shower, or with a gentle cold rinse cycle in your washing machine. Do not use warm or hot water, as this could lock in stains and ruin the material.
Machine wash cold
Turn the garment inside out. Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with like colors. A mesh laundry bag helps protect the fabric if you're washing alongside other items. Skip the fabric softener and bleach; they coat and break down the absorbent layer and gradually reduce how well the garment wicks and holds your flow. For best practices, use a mild, fragrance-free detergent.
Air dry only
Hang or lay flat to dry, out of direct sun if possible. Heat from a dryer breaks down the elastic and waterproof layers over time, which is the number one reason period underwear loses its leak-proof seal early. Air drying keeps every pair performing like new for longer.
Store clean and dry
Once fully dry, store in a drawer or bag away from moisture. There's no need for anything special here, just make sure they're completely dry before folding away to avoid any lingering odor.
A few things to avoid
- Don't use bleach or harsh stain removers, as they break down the absorbent and waterproof layers.
- Don't use fabric softener or dryer sheets, as they leave a coating that reduces absorbency.
- Don't dry clean, as the solvents used can damage the technical fabric.
- Don't tumble dry on high heat. Always air dry to protect the elastic and waterproof barrier.
