How to Care for Organic Period Briefs

Quick answer

To keep your organic period briefs performing well, rinse them in cold water immediately after use, then machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and air dry.

Step-by-step care routine

1. Step 1: Cold rinse immediately: As soon as you remove your period briefs, rinse them under cold running water until the water runs mostly clear. This flushes out blood before it can stain or clog the absorbent layers. Do not use hot water—it can set stains and damage the fabric.
2. Step 2: Machine wash on gentle cycle: Place the rinsed briefs in a mesh laundry bag and wash them with like colors on a gentle or delicate cycle. Use a small amount of mild, bleach-free detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, or stain removers that contain harsh chemicals. Skip the fabric softener—it coats the fibers and blocks absorbency.
3. Step 3: Air dry only: Hang your period briefs flat or on a clothesline away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Do not put them in the dryer, as high heat can shrink the organic cotton and degrade the elastic and absorbent core. Air drying keeps the fit snug and the layers intact for up to two years of regular use.
4. Step 4: Store dry and flat: Once fully dry, fold your briefs and store them in a cool, dry drawer. Avoid storing them while damp, as this can encourage mildew or odor. A quick sniff test before folding confirms they are completely dry.
