Care instructions
-
First rinse the underwear under the tap.
-
Then wash it at a maximum of 40 degrees in the washing machine (without fabric softener).
-
Hang it out to dry. Do not put it in the dryer. The absorbent layer takes one to two days after washing to dry completely. We therefore recommend that you wear different ones during your menstrual week.
-
The absorbent layer softens after washing.
How it works
Let’s take a closer look at our ultra-thin, super absorbing technology. It consists of 4 layers. All the layers are incapsulated with glue to ensure they stay attached to each other. Additional stitches keep the inner gusset in place and ensure durability. The glue makes sure no blood can come through the stitch holes. When we say no leaks we mean no leaks!

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How do Yoni Period Proof Underwear work? +
-
Yoni Period Proof Underwear is reusable and easy to use. You can wear it, wash it at the washing machine and wear it again. Depending on your flow, it can totally replace the disposable products like liners, pads and tampons or it can be used as back up by using it in combination with tampons or a cup. For first timers, we recomend trying Period Proof Underwear at night to get use to the feel of wearing an underwear for your period and to determine how much coverage the underwear gives to your flow. The ultra-thin absorbent layer is made from microfelt followed by a leak-proof layer to keep you dry and protect you from leaking. Take a look at our Period Proof Underwear page to learn more.
-
What makes Yoni Period Proof Underwear special in comparision to other period underwear? +
-
A lot of period underwear is bulky, especially in the gusset (the crotch area). Therefore, you might feel like you’re wearing a thick pad. Yoni underwear is very thin and super-absorbent. This makes them comfortable and flexible, allowing you to forget your wearing special underwear during your period.
-
How much blood will my Yoni Period Proof Underwear absorb? +
-
Our Yoni Underwear absorbs 30ml of liquid. That’s approximately as much as three medium/ normal tampons’or three medium pads worth of fluid.
-
Can I use fabric softener when I wash my Period Proof Underwear? +
-
No, we strongly recommend not to use fabric softener because it will affect the functioning of the superabsorbent layer inside the underwear.
-
Can Yoni Period Proof Underwear replace my current routine e.g. my use of tampons, pads and liners? +
-
Depending on your flow Yoni Period Proof Underwear can replace tampons, pads, liners and cups or be worn with tampons and cups for extra protection. Our current underwear absorbs 30ml of liquid, which is approximately as much as three normal tampons’ or pads’ worth of fluid. Be aware that the absorbency layer from the underwear needs one or two days to dry after washing. Therefore, you need more than one pair to cover all your mentruatial flow.
-
For how long will my underwear last? +
-
Our Period Proof Underwear can last for approximately two years or even longer when following our care instructions. As underwear is considered a delicate product, we strongly recommend to follow our care instructions to ensure you get the most wear out of your underwear.
-
How do I care for my Yoni underwear? +
-
Treat Yoni PPU like any other delicate garment you love! When washed with care, your Period Proof Underwear will maintain their super-absorbent functionality for approximately 2 years or even longer.
Step 1. Rinse in cold water after use to remove any excess flow.
Step 2. Throw your underwear in the washing machine with your regular dark wash and wash at a max. of 40 degrees. Using a delicate bag can protect your underwear from things like zippers!
Step 3. Air dry only. Do not use a dryer and note that it may take a couple of days to completely dry the super-absorbent layer.
-
Will my Yoni Period Proof Underwear smell? +
-
No, if you follow our care instructions, your Yoni underwear shouldn’t smell. However, if you feel your underwear needs a little bit of extra love or has a musty smell when stored before fully dry, try soaking it in vinegar. Put 1 cup of vinegar in a clean sink or bowl and add in 2 cups of water. Let your underwear soak for 15 to 30 minutes. Then toss them in the washing machine as usual.
