We do not recommend the use of Dettol, fabric softners or other harsh chemical-ridden soaps on Soch period panty and the inserts. Use only mild soap as required. You can use vinegar or essential oils once in a while in your soaking water.

Can I wash it in hot water?

Rinsing directly in hot water sets stains. Therefore, we recommend you first remove the stains with cold water. Once the blood is removed, you can wash in hot water.

If you are not at home, carry a ziploc cover/pouch with you to store your used period panty and insert. The used insert can be folded to make it smaller. Once you are home, soak them in cold water for 7-8 hours before washing.
