After use, rinse with cold water until the water runs clear. This is best done immediately after removing. Pop your WUKA with similar, dark coloured garments and wash at 30-40ºc, inside out. Don't use fabric conditioners. Air dry your WUKA Period Pants outside on the line or indoors on an airer. Don't tumble dry it. For the Heavy Flow and the Super Heavy Flow, we advise washing inside out and giving them an extra spin. As well as this, we recommend sticking on a warm radiator to ensure complete dryness. We always advise washing pants as cold as possible. This will prolong the lifespan of your pants and also keep the absorbency as high as possible. Refrain from drying in a dryer or on a radiator (if possible) and always dry inside out. We would not suggest leaving your WUKA pants to soak for a prolonged time, this can cause the material and bonding to wear and damage quicker.
