Which styles are swim-proof? 

Our medium flow range, both Sleek and Classic are swim friendly. Read more on swimming with Vitals here.

How many pairs of underwear is required for a full cycle? 

A pack of 6 undies will keep them covered for a full cycle of 5 day, but requires laundry so they have fresh pairs ready again for the next few days. A pack of 8 undies will require little washing between the cycles. We suggest buying in packs if they are new to period underwear. 

What’s the wash routine? 

Give them a quick rinse and pop them into a machine wash. Do not use a tumble dryer as it weakens the durability. Here are detailed care hacks for Vitals.

How to change during activities? 

Change anywhere with our Fresh n Dry bag
We have designed two bags that make period routine easier at any instance. Our
Fresh n Dry bag supports changing used undies anywhere. It is built in with separate odour-proof pouches to store used and fresh undies anywhere.

Travel friendly wash bag to do laundry anywhere!
We also designed a Portable Load washer to support washing undies during camping, hiking or anywhere else. Our washer bag doesn’t need electricity or excess water. Just Soak-Shake-Squeeze after adding used undies into the bag with some water and soap. Repeat the cycle with fresh water and dry!
