You've chosen period underwear—a sustainable and comfortable game-changer. But what if your panties suddenly aren't as absorbent as they were when you first started? Don't worry, that doesn't mean the end of your favorite underwear! With a few simple tricks, you can restore the absorbency and enjoy your period underwear for a long time.
Why does period underwear lose absorbency over time?
Our period panties can absorb up to six tampons' worth of fluid. But sometimes they lose their capacity—why?
- Residues of detergent or limescale settle in the fibers.
- Fabric softener forms a barrier that repels liquid.
- Incorrect washing or drying methods can damage the materials.
But don’t panic – there is a simple solution!

You know the feeling: Freshly washed favorite clothes simply feel better. You can achieve the same thing with your period underwear! The trick? Washing soda . This natural miracle cure frees the fibers of buildup and ensures your panties are as absorbent as they were on the first day – without any chemicals or color loss.
How it works:
- Rinse your panties with cold water until no blood is visible.
- Mix hot water with a tablespoon of washing soda.

Drying: The key to longevity
It's best to line dry your period panties, or in the sun if possible, as UV light has antibacterial properties. On average, a pair of period underwear takes 10-12 hours to dry completely. This is due to the different layers they're made of—layers that make Gotyus so leak-proof!
Important! Use Do not use a dryer: heat can damage the fibers and reduce absorbency.
Oops, accidentally threw your panties in the dryer?
It's not the end of the world! Nothing will happen once, but repeated drying can damage the layers. If it does happen, simply wash again and let it air dry.
