Are you having to wash these everyday? If you have a heavy period day will 3 last for the day? How exactly do you wash these?

I actually use these for light stress incontinence since I am post menopausal. I keep them in a zippered net lingerie bag which I throw in the washing machine with my light colored laundry but I air dry them rather than use the dryer since I wasn't sure if they would shrink or not. I have seen suggestions on keeping a covered container of soapy water in the bathroom to hold them until you do your laundry, but I haven't done that since mine don't get very soiled. I can't answer your question about whether 3 will last for a heavy period day.

Depending on how many you have and how long your period is ...just make sure the blood dries so it won't stain, hot water immediately after taking them will stain. Take it off, let it dry, handwash in warm water with a dab of natural soap or plain dove even and let dry or you could put it in the washing machine but hand washing is easiest for me There's ton of YouTube videos on how to do it For heavy, I suggest getting long ones and ones made for heavy days I don't think these would be good for heavy, they are too short if the three pack is anything like the one pack one I got

My heavy days are very heavy and I usually go through 4-5 sometimes less. I have other resuable pads in my supply for heavier days, they are longer. When I'm done with one I rinse it in the sink and put it in my soaker pot. It a little jar I have with a small amount of detergent and water for the pads to soak in before I wash them in a load. When I wash them I put them in a lingerie bag and wash on cold regular cycle and hang to dry. Don't use fabric softener on them.

I have a daycare, so they get washed every day and they hold up extremely well! Mine have probably been washed upwards of 100 times a piece.

They last quite awhile if unopened. I use them at least twice a day which seems reasonable (at least to me) for someone who is not taking a full shower and uses a toilet or alternative at least twice a day. A package of 8 cloths does not last me that long.

These are like disposables in the sense that you change them every time they are wet or dirty. The are all one piece and you put the whole thing in the wash. If you are planing on washing every other day depending on the age I would say around 20-25? The nice thing about these they dry fast so washing turnover is faster than some other brands. Hope that helps:)

No, I have washed them 3 times and they are still soft as when we got them.

I have washed them in a washing machine without any problems, but I do put them in a lingerie bag, and I air-dry them. I wouldn't just throw them in the machine. A zipper pillow case works well also.

I have washed mine multiple times and they are still soft and holding up. As soon as the dryer is done just fluff it up with your hands.

They're more absorbent the first few times you use them. After four days of use, they're less absorbent. They seem to deteriorate after about 10 days of period (that's three periods for me, since I now have short periods due to positive dietary changes). My first day is pretty heavy so I take it out to wash it every time I have to pee, which is every couple of hours. The second day usually only every other time. The third day only twice. I leave it in for a four day just in case of spotting. I compost them after two periods.

They are equal or more absorbent than tampons. I have found for medium flow days, the regular size sponge lasts about 4-6 hours before rinsing. It will really depend on the flow and size of the sponge you use.

I wash and rinse them everyday and reuse. Can last a long time if used this way.

I've had mine for a quite a long time now and I would say you don't need to wash them, but I have thrown them in washer or dryer from time to time and they have not shrunk for me. You could hand wash them as well to avoid them from shrinking and just let them dry out.

I've washed them in the washer using the delicate cycle, and just let them air dry. After all the cleanings and uses they're still like new!

I throw them in the wash with the other clothes. I do stick them in a mesh lingerie bag to be able to find it. Eventually they will wear out but they won't be sticky or gross! :) good luck!

I have had our set for 2 or 3 years. I wash them (by hand) every so often, let them dry, and continue using them. They are made from a "terry cloth-like" material, so they are pretty durable. I go NOWHERE without mine! :)

I use them for washing my face every day and love them. They actually become very soft after wetting. I have very sensitive skin and have no problems.

I just wash and dry them like I would any towel. Not sure if this recommended but it works. I've had mine for a year with weekly washing a and they are in great shape. When possible I love to line dry!
