Caring For Your Period Underwear

Your period underwear is designed to support you through every cycle—comfortably, confidently, and sustainably. With the right care, your Her Bloom pieces can stay soft, absorbent, and reliable for years to come. Here’s your simple guide to keeping them in bloom.

Step 1: Rinse After Use

After wearing, gently rinse your underwear in cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess blood and prevents staining. Avoid hot water at this stage, as heat can set stains and damage absorbent fibers.

Step 2: Wash with Care

Once rinsed, place your underwear in the washing machine with similar colors.

Best practices:

• Use cold water
• Choose a gentle or delicate cycle
• Use mild, fragrance-free detergent
• Avoid fabric softener and bleach

Fabric softeners and harsh chemicals can coat the absorbent layers, reducing effectiveness over time.

Step 3: Skip the Heat

Heat is the biggest enemy of period underwear. High temperatures can break down the special layers that make them leak-proof.

Instead:

• Air dry flat or hang to dry
• Avoid tumble drying
• Keep away from direct heat sources

Letting your underwear air dry helps preserve their shape, softness, and absorbency.

Step 4: Store with Intention

Once fully dry, store your period underwear in a clean, dry place. Avoid damp environments, which can lead to odor or bacteria buildup. Folding them neatly keeps the layers protected and ready for your next cycle.

Step 5: Deep Clean When Needed

If you notice lingering odors or buildup, give your underwear a gentle refresh once every few months.

Try this:

• Soak in cold water with a small amount of baking soda or white vinegar
• Rinse thoroughly
• Wash as usual

This helps restore freshness without damaging the fabric.

Common Care Mistakes to Avoid

To keep your Her Bloom underwear performing at its best, avoid:

❌ Hot water washes
❌ Dryer heat
❌ Fabric softener
❌ Bleach
❌ Ironing
❌ Dry cleaning

These can weaken fibers and reduce absorbency.

How Long Does Period Underwear Last?

With proper care, your Her Bloom period underwear can last up to 2–3 years or longer, depending on use. Treating them gently means fewer replacements, less waste, and more confidence every cycle.

Caring for Yourself, Too.

Caring for your period underwear is also a form of self-care. It’s about honoring your body, your rhythm, and the products that support you through it all. When you care for your Her Bloom pieces with intention, you’re investing in comfort, sustainability, and yourself.

Because you deserve to bloom—every day of the month.
