The Conni Ladies Reusable Underwear range was initially created for incontinence, but their versatile design also provides amazing protection for menstruation. With reliable absorbent layers that manage leaks and keep you dry, our Ladies Reusable Underwear is a sustainable and reliable alternative to disposable products, while offering confidence and peace of mind.
If you have chosen Conni to support you during your menstrual cycle, it is important to know how to care for your underwear to keep them fresh, clean and ready for that time of month, every month. Proper care will ensure they remain absorbent, waterproof and long-lasting. Let’s dive into the best ways to wash, dry and maintain your Conni’s!
Easy Steps to Washing Conni Ladies Reusable Underwear
- Rinse thoroughly in cold water straight after use.
- Use a good quality mild detergent - skip the fabric softeners.
- Wash by hand or on a gentle machine cycle.
- Air dry to protect the fabric - avoid tumble drying if you can.
Why Rinse Straight Away?
Rinsing your Conni underwear in cold water immediately after use helps remove most fluids and prevents stains from setting. Run them under cold water until it runs clear to make the washing process easier. Remember, cold water is key as hot water can set stains, making the stain harder to remove.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Conni Reusable Underwear features four in-built innovative layers to ensure absorbency and comfort, so using the right detergent is essential. Opt for mild, fragrance-free laundry products to avoid residue buildup, which can impact absorbency. Steer clear of fabric softeners, bleach and harsh chemicals as they can damage the protective layers and stop the underwear from absorbing.
Hand-Washing vs Machine-Washing
Both methods are effective - just follow what works best for you..
- Hand-Washing: Fill a sink or basin with cold water, add a small amount of gentle detergent and gently agitate the underwear. Rinse until the water runs clear.
- Machine-Washing: Place your Conni underwear in a mesh laundry bag to protect the fabric. Select the gentle or delicate cycle with cold water. Avoid washing with lint-shedding fabrics like towels to keep the underwear in good condition.
How to Dry Conni Ladies Reusable Underwear
Although our Conni’s reusable products can be tumble dried on low heat if needed, air drying is preferred to maintain the integrity of the waterproof layer. Tumble drying, particularly with high temperatures, can weaken the materials and reduce effectiveness over time.
- Best Method: Hang your Conni underwear in a well-ventilated area where there is gentle sunlight. If possible, dry them flat to avoid stretching.
- Speeding Up Drying: Press out excess water with clean towels before air drying, but avoid wringing or twisting the fabric.
Tackling Stains and Odours
Conni Reusable Underwear is designed to absorb leaks, but if stains or odours appear, they’re easy to manage. Use a gentle stain remover made for delicate fabrics and avoid bleach to protect the absorbent and waterproof layers. A small amount of white vinegar or baking soda can help with odours - just rinse thoroughly to remove any residue. The UV rays from the sun act as a natural antibacterial, helping to keep your underwear fresh and hygienic, so line drying is best to help combat odours.
Why Proper Care Matters
By following these simple care steps, you’ll keep your Conni Ladies Reusable Underwear fresh, absorbent and ready to support you during your period. Proper care ensures the layers remain effective, providing reliable protection and long-lasting performance.
