The basics of caring for cloth pads is pretty simple.
These are a basic guide and as you use your products you will develop your own technique.
- Different hardness of water cause differences in the pads.
- Pads are worn with the stitching facing up and grippy fleece to your underwear. Tighter fitting pants will keep the pads in place!
- All TCS-eco pads are more absorbent than a disposable equivalent.
- Store in a wet bag or other storage choice, either rinse in cold water till the water runs clear or store dry then cold wash in the washing machine.
- If you have a stubborn stain soak in cold water and Stain remover. Washing at hot temperatures fixes the smells and stains into the fabrics.
- Wash at 40 or lower with dark clothes and NO fabric conditioners.
- Do not dry on direct heat or at high heat in a tumble dryer.
