Washing, drying & care guideUpdated an hour ago

Mandatory Pre-Wash

Wash your garments before using them for the first time to activate the absorbent layers.

Washing Protocol After Use

  • Soak: Submerge the garment in cold water for 30 minutes to draw out most of the blood.
  • Wash: Hand wash or machine wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C (104°F) using neutral soap.
  • Dry: Reshape the garment and let it line dry outdoors (preferably in the sun).

Things to Avoid

  • DO NOT tumble dry: Heat degrades the waterproof PUL layer and shrinks the garment.
  • DO NOT use fabric softeners or bleach: They create an impermeable coating over the fabric that blocks its absorbency.

Persistent Odors or Stains

If the garment has a persistent odor, soak it for 30 minutes in cold water with a splash of white vinegar before your regular wash.
