FAQ
Comment retrouver une bonne absorption ?
Votre culotte absorbe moins qu’avant ? Il y a une odeur ? Des fuites ? Après quelques années, il est possible que la capacité d’absorption diminue. Les résidus de lessive, un mauvais prélavage, le calcaire, etc. peuvent encrasser les tissus.
Pas de panique, vos culottes sont loin d’être fichues ! Pour les remettre à neuf, un décrassage est à faire très occasionnellement
1. Prenez une bassine, de l’eau bouillante et du percarbonate de soude (aussi appelé eau oxygénée solide).
2. Ajoutez une cuillère à café de percarbonate de soude à 1 litre d’eau bouillante.
3. Laissez bien refroidir l’eau à 40°C, puis plongez-y votre culotte propre pendant 1 à 4 heures.
4. Rincez à l’eau claire et passez-la en machine.
Why should I wash my lingerie before I use it for the first time?
We recommend that you wash your lingerie in order to develop itsabsorption capacity and of course for hygienic reasons.
How do I wash my panty ?
After use, simply rinse your lingerie in cold water and then put it in the machine at 30°C. The materials used in the absorbent core are delicate and cannot be washed at over 40°C, as this would risk coagulating the blood and fixing it to the fabric, which would leave marks. Then let it dry in the open air. Do not use strong heat, as this may damage waterproof fabrics.
Which detergent should I choose for my menstrual panties?
You can use conventional and mild detergents, preferably in powder form. As an ecological alternative we recommend the use of ash detergent, washing nuts or ivy detergent.
All soaps with fatty substances (Marseille soap, Aleppo soap, etc.) should be avoided.
Why not use fatty soaps to wash my lingerie?
To preserve the absorbency of menstrual pants, avoid all soaps with fatty substances greasy soaps (Marseille soap, Aleppo soap, etc.). These soaps are the result of a cold saponification process. These soaps clog the pores of the absorbent fabric of menstrual underwear.
Why use a washing net?
If you wash your lingerie with the rest of your laundry, zippers, buttons and other items on your clothes may damage your panties during washing. Make sure you don't put too much in the same net, as this will prevent the laundry from mixing properly.
Why not put my lingerie in the dryer?
The tumble dryer deteriorates the delicate textile fibres, damages the elastics and irreparably damages the waterproof fabric of the panties.
Dégage-t-elle une mauvaise odeur ?
Many women think their periods smell bad. What they don't know is that blood doesn't give off unpleasant odours. These are caused by bacteria that proliferate as a result of the maceration of blood on chemically-laden "traditional" pads. This creates unpleasant odours, unbalances the vaginal flora and causes irritation, infection and mycosis.
Doesn't it have a diaper effect?
Our lingerie doesn't have a diaper effect at all. The fabrics of the effecient absorbent core are ultra-thin and guarantee optimum safety.
Why not have them made by Swiss seamstresses?
We would ideally prefered to produce panties in Switzerland by local seamstresses. However the labour would considerably increase the price of our lingerie. We care about the fact that all women can afford quality menstrual lingerie.
What fabrics are used in your lingerie?
Our lingeries are made of OEKO-TEX certified bamboo, cotton and modal. The lingerie will mainly be made of modal, a material obtained from the cellulose extracted from beech wood. This natural fabric is ecological and environmentally friendly.
What is the composition of the absorbent core?
- A first layer of organic cotton fabric.
- An ultra-absorbent layer made of bamboo fibres.
- A waterproof PUL material that prevents leaks and protects you in all circumstances.
