Menstrual Panties can be used for up to 12 hours but if you have high flux period it is advised that you change your Menstrual Panties after a few hours. At the end of the day when you take them off, best practise is to remember to prewash your Menstrual Panties with cold water.
The Pre-wash of Menstrual Underwear
Prewash your soaked Menstrual Panties with cold or room temperature water before washing them with your other clothes. Do not use hot water to wash them as this may lead to blood stiffening and damage the Menstrual Panties fabric.
