How to wash Thinx Teens
Thinx Teens are reusable and simple to care for — just machine wash, and hang dry before first wear and after each use. (Do not iron, bleach, or use fabric softener.)
Care instructions
Machine-wash cold
Toss them in a normal load of laundry on a delicate cycle — the other clothes will be fine! (No bleach or fabric softener.) If you'd rather hand wash, use lukewarm water.
Hang Dry
Hang up Thinx Teens™ in a non-humid environment, and wait for them to fully dry before putting them away. No ironing, please!
With these simple steps, Thinx Teens™ will stay at maximum performance for 40 washes, which is typically around 2 years.
Tips & tricks
Separate laundry bags
Although you can wash Thinx Teens with your other clothing, sometimes it helps to have a dedicated laundry bag just for your period undies. That way you can easily wash your pairs even if you're not doing your other laundry at that time.
The essentials
Preparing a kit with period essentials is a wonderful way to stay comfortable — and organized! Add a couple pairs of Thinx Teens, a bag to place them in once you change, and other period lifesavers such as cramp relievers or a heating pad.
Where to hang dry
Hang drying your undies will help keep them in great shape! Don't know where to hang 'em? Try over your shower rod, over a chair, or on a hanger in a non-humid environment.
FAQ

Will blood get all over my other clothes in the washing machine?

How long do Thinx Teens take to hang dry?

The underwear should take about 19 hours to dry under non-humid conditions. Drying time may be affected by humidity levels and airflow.
( Q )
Oops! I ran Thinx Teens in the dryer! What will happen?
