Washing Tips

PlumThyme pads are designed to fit into your regular laundry routine. See below for tips related to specific products.

Period Pads:

For best result rinse pad under cold water after use (until the water runs clear). It's ok to rinse the pads you used throughout the day when you get home. Hand rinse or run a rinse cycle in the washer.

Store used pads in a pad wrapper / wet bag until ready to wash. Waterproof bag / wrapper locks in odor & moisture and allows you to store and carry pads mess-free.

At the end of the day, toss used pads into the washer and run a cold wash cycle with gentle detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener.

Gently stretch your pads after wash and hang to dry using a drying strap. It's ok to dry pads on a low heat for a quick fix. We recommends washing your pads before the first use.

Wet Bags / Pad Wrappers:

Turn inside out before washing. Wash in cold water with your pads, air dry recommended.
