Quick answer
Yes, you can use Saalt Cup Wash to clean your period underwear. Its gentle, pH-balanced formula removes bacteria and odor without damaging the fabric or any leakproof layers.
Why Saalt Cup Wash works for period underwear
Saalt Cup Wash is designed to remove bacteria, which is the real cause of odor. Its pH-balanced formula is gentle enough for silicone cups and discs, and it works just as well on the fabric of period underwear. It won't strip or degrade leakproof layers, making it a safe choice for both leakproof and non-leakproof styles.
What about non-leakproof underwear?
Saalt Cup Wash is also safe for non-leakproof period underwear, like the Seamless Thong or Seamless Brief. These styles use a 100% cotton gusset for breathability, and the wash's gentle formula won't irritate sensitive skin or leave residues.
Steps to clean your period underwear with Saalt Cup Wash
- Rinse with cold water: As soon as possible after wearing, rinse your underwear under cold running water to remove excess blood. Cold water helps prevent stains from setting. Avoid hot water, which can set stains and damage elastic.
- Apply Saalt Cup Wash: Squeeze a small amount of Saalt Cup Wash directly onto the gusset or any stained area. Gently rub the fabric together to work the wash into the fibers. A little goes a long way. Start with a dime-sized amount.
- Let it sit for a few minutes: Allow the wash to sit on the fabric for 2-3 minutes. This gives it time to break down bacteria and lift any remaining odor or stains. Don't let it dry on the fabric. Rinse within 5 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly: Rinse the underwear under cold or lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Make sure no soap residue remains, as it can cause irritation. Residue can trap bacteria and cause odor later.
- Air dry completely: Lay the underwear flat or hang it to air dry. Avoid the dryer, as high heat can damage the fabric and any leakproof layers. Heat is the enemy of elastic and leakproof membranes.
