How to wash off menstrual blood on underwear

Many adolescent girls will accidentally get blood stains on their underwear, which is very difficult to wash. Because they are shy, they don’t want to ask others about their experiences. Don't panic, this is a problem every woman will encounter, and you don't have to feel shy to speak up. Because underwear is in direct contact with women's private parts, cleaning is very important. It is actually not difficult to clean it. How to wash off menstrual blood on underwear? Let's learn together.

It is generally believed that washing menstrual blood with hot water can not only clean the menstrual blood, but also play a role in disinfection. But is this really the case?

In fact, menstrual blood contains a lot of protein. If you use hot water directly to wash underwear stained with menstrual blood, the protein will coagulate into denatured protein. These denatured proteins are insoluble in water and will remain on the underwear, making them more difficult to wash off.

These residues are not easy to detect. If women mistakenly think that their underwear has been washed clean, these residues will easily breed bacteria on the underwear. Over time, the underwear will turn yellow in parts and bring risk of vaginitis to women.

1. When blood stains the surface, wash it immediately with cold water or light salt water (do not use hot water because blood contains protein which will coagulate when heated and is not easy to dissolve), then wash it with soap or 10% potassium iodide solution.

2. You can use white radish juice or mashed carrots mixed with salt to remove blood stains from clothes.

3. Wipe the stained area with 10% tartaric acid solution and then rinse with cold water.

4. Use enzyme laundry detergent to remove blood stains, the effect is very good.

5. If the stain has been there for a long time, wipe the stained area with 10% ammonia water or 3% hydrogen peroxide. After a while, wash it vigorously with cold water. If it is still not clean, wash it with 10%-15% oxalic acid solution and finally rinse it with clean water.

6. Whether it is a new stain or an old stain, it can be cleaned by rubbing with sulfur soap.

Myth 2:

In order to wash the menstrual blood off the underwear, some women will use some highly irritating detergents to wash the areas of the underwear stained with menstrual blood, such as 84 disinfectant, certain laundry detergents for cleaning oil stains on collars, etc.

However, while these irritating detergents can quickly remove blood stains, they will also leave some harmful chemicals on the underwear, which will shorten the service life of the underwear in the long run. If it is not rinsed thoroughly, the next time you wear such underwear, your private parts are prone to allergies, itching, and may even be burned.

1. It is most important to use special detergents, such as soap with bactericidal effect.

2. Do not wash underwear together with other clothes to prevent cross-infection of bacteria.

3. Use a special basin and scald it with boiling water regularly to sterilize it. Do not share laundry tubs between family members.

4. Avoid exposing washed underwear to direct sunlight. It should be dried in a cool place first, and then placed in the sun for disinfection. Otherwise, the underwear will easily become hard and deformed.

Women's private parts are fragile during menstruation and need special protection. Using sanitary napkins with strong absorption and not easy to leak, and ensuring the cleanliness of underwear are the two most basic tasks to prevent residual menstrual blood from causing harm and keep the private parts away from bacterial damage.
