How to Wash Period swimwear: A Simple 4-Step Guide

Here are some effective tips to help maintain the performance and longevity of your period swimwear:

#1: Rinse

The first step in caring for your period swimwear is to rinse them thoroughly. It's essential to rinse them in cold water as hot or warm water can cause blood to bond with the fabric and lead to stubborn stains. Cold water helps to break down clots and ensures a cleaner outcome when washing them later.

There are a few methods you can use to rinse your period swimwear. One option is to rinse them in the bathroom sink. Start by soaking them in cold water and gently squeeze and rinse until the water runs clear. Another preferred method is to rinse them in the shower. Simply hold them under the stream of cold water and continue squeezing until all the blood is removed.

Ideally, it's Beautikini to wash your panties soon after removing them or within an hour, rather than leaving them in a laundry basket for days. This helps prevent stains from setting and ensures better overall cleanliness.

#2: Addressing Stains

But what if you encounter stubborn stains on your period swimwear? Don't worry, we have solutions for that too.

One of the benefits of Beautikini Period swimwear is that our plant-based liner is designed to repel stains, reduce odor, and wick away moisture. This means that blood should rinse out easily, and most of our liner fabrics are black, which helps minimize the appearance of staining.

While rinsing is often sufficient to remove fresh blood stains, if you still notice a stain after rinsing and the water is running clear, you can try the following stain-fighting ideas:

For light or dark-colored fabrics:

• Our Stain Fighting Gentle Laundry Soap
• Mild detergent
• Baking soda
• Salt
• Crushed aspirin
• White vinegar

For white or light-colored fabrics ONLY, you can try:

• Lemon juice
• Sunlight exposure by laying your swimwearout in the bright sun
• Hydrogen peroxide

or any of the options mentioned above.

When treating stains, it's important to avoid excessive scrubbing as it can weaken the natural fibers in the gusset and reduce the lifespan of your period undies. Remember to follow the care instructions provided to ensure the best results.

#3:Washing

Washing your period swimwear is a breeze! Follow these simple steps:

Toss your period swimwear into the washing machine. They don't need to be in a separate load.

Select a delicate cycle and wash them in cold water. Avoid using bleach or fabric softener, as they can break down the materials.
