How many panties do I need for one period?

Jenna: "That depends a bit on how heavy your period is, of course. On average, they say 5-7 panties are enough for one period. I, for example, now get through the day quite well with 4-5 panties. I don't have to change them during the day either, as I don't menstruate as heavily as I did a few years ago."

How do I wash period panties properly?

Jenna: "It's best to take your panties after use, turn them inside out, wash them under cold running water, then throw them in the washing machine, wash them at 30 degrees and please, please, please don't put them in the dryer. Hang them on the line to dry instead."

With these helpful answers to some of her community's most pressing questions, Jenna shows how uncomplicated and practical period panties can be in everyday life.
