Quick Answer
Rinse your Love Luna Period Midi Brief in cold water right after use, then machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Never use fabric softener or bleach, and air dry flat to preserve the absorbent layers.
Why Care Routine Matters for Absorbency
The Love Luna Period Midi Brief uses a multi-layer absorbent core that can hold 10-15ml (2-3 regular tampons). Proper care keeps those layers working wash after wash. Harsh detergents, heat, and fabric softeners can clog or break down the fibers, reducing absorbency over time.
Unlike regular underwear, period briefs need a little extra attention to maintain their leak-proof barrier. The good news is that a few simple habits will keep your midi brief comfortable, snug, and effective for many cycles.
Common Mistake: Using Fabric Softener or Bleach
Fabric softener coats the absorbent fibers with a waxy layer that repels liquid instead of absorbing it. Bleach weakens the elastic and the moisture-wicking fabric. Both shorten the life of your period midi brief significantly.
Stick to a mild, fragrance-free detergent. If you need stain treatment, dab a small amount of detergent directly on the stain and let it sit for 15 minutes before washing.
Step-by-Step Care for Your Period Midi Brief
- 1. Rinse Immediately After Use: Hold the gusset under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes most of the blood and prevents stains from setting. Don’t let the brief sit in a hamper for hours—rinse right away to keep it fresh.
- 2. Machine Wash on Gentle Cycle: Place the brief in a mesh laundry bag and wash with cold or lukewarm water on a gentle cycle. Use only a small amount of mild detergent—no fabric softener, bleach, or stain removers with harsh chemicals. A mesh bag protects the elastic and prevents the brief from tangling with other clothes.
- 3. Air Dry Flat: Lay the brief flat on a drying rack or towel away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Do not wring, twist, or put it in the dryer. High heat can damage the absorbent layers and elastic. Air drying takes a few hours but extends the life of your period midi brief by months.
- 4. Store Dry and Flat: Once fully dry, fold or roll the brief and store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing in damp bathrooms or airtight containers that trap moisture. Moisture can encourage mildew growth, so make sure the brief is completely dry before putting it away.
