Free Bleeding - another fad?

Washable pad companies are much better at making wide ranges for different sizes, shapes and flows.

I suppose that once you are in the habit of washing pads then washing blood in gussets seems like a non issue

notanan2 You say that you just bung your blood-stained knickers in with the normal wash, but at what temperature do you wash all these clothes? If I were washing heavily blood-stained items, I would need to do them on a much hotter wash than my usual clothing in order to get them clean.

Mine were put in a bucket of napisan before being machine washed.

Napisan is a bleach product isn't it? I used to use it for the children's nappies. notanan2 was horrified further back when I mentioned bleach.

Free bleeders? More like silly bleeders.

Lemongrove ???

Lemon ?

Lemongrove

lemongrove

Sock it to 'em lemon!

Tee hee, that made me laugh lemon.

Nice one Lemon ?

Love it Lemon. This thread has given me loads of laughs. Can't believe I've been typing the word "gusset" online! Who'd have thought???

Hilarious

Well said lemongrove

Sparklefizz that would probably 'set' the stain; they would need a soak in cold water and perhaps some salt first.
Probably just the gusset
What a faff! Probably better to buy new knickers - knicker manufacturers must be rubbing their hands in glee!

that was in answer to this Aparkle

OH!! fat finger - Sparkle
Actually, cold fingers, I have just come in and it's chilly out there today.

Back of the gusset net, Lemongrove!

Thanks, it just had to be said!

You are so right, lemongrove. Succinctly put! ???

lemongrove it had been at the back of my mind but me being sort of new here I thought I'd better keep my one-liners until I've got my feet under the table. However you saved me the job of saying it hahahaha. Say it like it is !

As Jamilall said, if you are boil washing protein stains you are "cooking them in" so no wonder you find blood stains troublesome.

No boil washing here & no stain issues, however as stated before I wash blood stains promptly so they haven't dried in anyway. Doesn't need to soak out if never left to properly dry in. In a busy family home with usually daily loads in the machine its no extra washing/hassle to wash promptly.

HTH

P.s. unlike faeces in nappies, period blood doesn't come out full of bacteria, so there is really nothing for bleach to act on (unless you leave it to rot for weeks. Which I dont, its washed when still fresh)

You revel in these conversations don’t you notanan? Agreed, I don’t have to read them. I’m wondering whether you have the same conversations face to face with other people. I somehow doubt it.
