How to use and wash
Lay the pad with the black part of the pad, facing your body. Secure around underwear using snaps.
Once used, you can store in a waterproof wet bag till you are ready to wash them. I tend to not store them any longer than two days. You can then put them on a rinse wash in your washing machine (rinse at 30/40 degrees) and then full wash on 40 or 60 with other clothes or nappies or to bulk out the wash. You can also do what I have seen described as a ‘shower stomp’ to rinse and then do a full wash. Dry naturally, they tend to dry reasonably quickly or tumble on low.
I like to store my pads in a pod in the bathroom as it makes them easier to find than inside a wet bag but either work.
