Do you have to rinse your period underwear immediately after use?

Yes, that's very important. Rinse your period underwear with cold water immediately after use. Why cold? Because cold water helps loosen and remove the blood from the fabric.

major maintenance of your Moodies

To extend the life of your Moodies menstrual underwear and prevent odors, we recommend a thorough cleaning every three months.

Steps for thorough maintenance:

Rinsing: Rinse the panties after use. Make sure that

Preparation for hand washing : Fill a bucket or the sink with lukewarm water and add a mild detergent.

Washing : Then wash the underwear by hand or in the washing machine at a maximum temperature of 40 degrees, without fabric softener, washing pods or bleach.

Rinse : Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.

Drying : Squeeze out excess water and hang the underwear to air dry; avoid the dryer.

Following these steps will keep your period underwear fresh and absorbent.

Do I need to disinfect my period underwear?

No, disinfecting isn't necessary. If you wash your Moodies as we recommend – with a mild detergent at a maximum temperature of 40 degrees – your underwear will stay clean and ready for the next use. Bleach or other disinfectants can damage the fabric, so it's best to avoid them.

Do your clothes turn red if you wash your period underwear in the washing machine?

No, as long as you rinse the underwear with cold water beforehand. This removes most of the blood, and during the wash cycle, the water continuously circulates through the drum. This prevents the blood from seeping into other clothing, and you can safely wash your period underwear with the rest of your clothes.

frequently asked questions

Not only from a hygienic point of view, but especially because the absorbent fabric in the pants does not work if it has not been washed first.

Compare it to a new towel! You won't get dry if you dry yourself with it if you haven't washed it first.

So first wash at 40 degrees!

If the washing instructions are followed, moodies will last at least 50-60 washes, so depending on how often you wear them you can use them for at least 3 years.

You can simply spin your moodies with your other laundry. Do not put the moodies in the dryer afterwards, as this is not good for the water-repellent layer. Hang the moodies inside out to dry.

With the cross out.

It is not recommended to put the moodies in the dryer, but if this happens accidentally, it does not mean that it no longer works.

The moodies will wear out faster the more often they are put in the dryer.

Fabric softener puts a kind of layer over your laundry, so to speak, that does not improve absorption.

You can also use organic natural vinegar instead of fabric softener (in the container where you normally put fabric softener). This softens the fabric, has an antibacterial effect and has the added advantage that it is good against limescale from your washing machine.

Fabric softener places a kind of layer around the water-repellent and absorbent layer that can affect its effectiveness.

If it happens, rinse your pants with water and a little natural vinegar and then put them in the washing machine at 40 degrees. Then try your moodies at home or in a safe place first.

Soaking your panties in water causes the water-repellent layer in the crotch to become more brittle. This layer prevents leaks, so soaking them will gradually make them less effective.
