Details about your period briefs from Pinke Welle:

With our modern-cut and comfortable period briefs, there are no limits to your activities during your period – use them as leak-proof protection during light to medium flow instead of panty liners or tampons. Wear them whilst exercising, at night, or as extra protection when using menstrual cups, cloth panty liners, cloth pads or organic tampons.

All the materials used ensure a comfortable fit and are also ideal for customers with sensitive skin or allergies.

Caring for your Flamingo sustainable period briefs

It’s best to wash your period briefs in cold water straight after use. After rinsing, we recommend letting the period briefs dry briefly (this prevents any risk of colour transfer to other items of laundry). Put the briefs in the washing machine with your normal laundry at a maximum of 40 degrees. For heavier soiling and stains, we recommend pre-treating the period briefs with Uni Sapon’s grease remover. For sustainable washing, use Uni Sapon’s concentrated washing liquid. Air-dry the Flamingo period briefs after washing. Do not put them in the tumble dryer and do not use bleach or fabric softener – this will ensure your period underwear remains functional for a particularly long time.

Unique 4-layer technology of Pinke Welle period panties:

The integrated 4-layer technology consists of four layers, which are nevertheless thin and comfortable to wear: 1) Innermost layer (next to the skin): Quick-drying cotton that wicks away fluid in a flash 2) Second layer: Highly absorbent membrane that soaks up and traps fluid like a sponge3) Third layer: Water-impermeable leak protection to ensure nothing seeps through4) Fourth layer: Breathable and silky-soft viscose made from bamboo

Material composition of the 4 layers:

Outer fabric (outer layer): 95% viscose from bamboo fibres, 5% elastane Membrane (waterproof layer): 100% polyurethane Middle layer (absorbent layer): 85% polyester, 15% elastane Lining (inner layer): 95% cotton, 5% elastane

Menstrual underwear made from high-quality bamboo fibre:

The main material is Tanboocel, a bamboo fibre produced using a patented and environmentally friendly (so-called ‘closed-loop’) process. This process primarily uses sodium hydroxide (caustic soda), which is also commonly used in food production, soap manufacturing and for almost all cotton fabrics (including organic fabrics). 99 per cent of the sodium hydroxide is recycled, and no other process by-products are released into the local environment.

Bamboo – a sustainable raw material with many advantages:

grows very quickly and does not need to be felled to harvest the raw material (no reforestation required)requires neither fertiliser nor pesticidesgrows with relatively little space and waterBamboo fibres absorb sweat up to four times faster than cottonBamboo fibre fabric retains excellent bacteriostatic properties even after 50 washes

Another tip for the Pinke Welle Flamingo period briefs:

If you’re out and about and don’t have immediate access to a place to rinse your period briefs, you can store them in a waterproof zip-lock bag or make-up bag in the meantime. We recommend our Wet and Dry Bag for this. When washing, make sure to use eco-friendly detergents without optical brighteners or other harsh ingredients. We recommend our sustainable concentrated wash from Uni Sapon.

Did you know…

…that bamboo produces around 35% more oxygen than a comparable area of forest? As bamboo doesn’t need to be felled like trees, it doesn’t die after being harvested, meaning no reforestation is necessary.…that bamboo is a very fast-growing renewable resource? Depending on the species, it can grow up to 1 metre a day!
