How do you ensure the quality and effectiveness of DIM PROTECT menstrual panties?
We test the absorbent material in the laboratory by studying the absorption rate, moisture diffusion and evacuation speed, and the maximum amount that can be absorbed.
Which model should I choose?
If your flow is light to moderate, you can use the medium-flow menstrual panties, which have an absorbency equivalent to 2 regular-absorbency tampons. If you have a heavy flow, we recommend choosing the heavy-flow version to ensure maximum absorption and leak protection. Its absorbency is equivalent to 3 regular-absorbency tampons, and it also has extended coverage to protect the back area of the panties. You can wear Dim Protect menstrual panties for up to 12 hours, day or night, depending on your cycle and flow. We suggest trying the panties at home to determine which absorbency level suits you best.
USE & CARE
Is it necessary to wash the product before using it?
As with all underwear, we recommend washing your DIM PROTECT menstrual panties before using them for the first time.
How often and how should DIM PROTECT menstrual panties be washed?
Menstrual panties can be worn for up to 12 hours, day or night, depending on your cycle and flow. To maintain the effectiveness of DIM PROTECT panties, we recommend rinsing them under cold running water. You can then wash them by hand or in the washing machine at 30°C, which is the recommended temperature to ensure optimal cleanliness. Softener can be used, but excessive use may reduce the material's moisture-wicking properties.
How should DIM PROTECT menstrual panties be dried after washing?
We recommend air-drying the DIM PROTECT menstrual panties to preserve their anti-leak properties. Ironing DIM PROTECT menstrual panties is not advised.
Does washing affect the absorbency of DIM PROTECT menstrual panties?
DIM PROTECT menstrual panties retain their absorbency through washing thanks to the nature of the absorbent fabric, with the same lifespan as regular panties. To maintain the effectiveness of DIM PROTECT menstrual panties, we recommend rinsing them in cold tap water. You can then wash them by hand or in the washing machine at 30°C, the optimal cleaning temperature. Using fabric softener is fine, though too much may reduce the fabric’s wicking properties. We advise air drying DIM PROTECT menstrual panties to preserve their anti-leak properties and recommend not ironing them.
How often should the washable DIM PROTECT menstrual panties be replaced?
The washable DIM PROTECT menstrual panties can be used as a standalone method or in combination with other hygiene products like tampons or cups. Thanks to their absorbent, leak-proof, and odor-resistant design, they offer up to 12 hours of protection. The absorbency of the washable DIM PROTECT menstrual panties is guaranteed for the product's entire lifespan due to the nature of the absorbent fabric.
Can I use the washable DIM PROTECT menstrual panties for sports?
The washable DIM PROTECT menstrual panties are perfectly suited for sports. The cross-stitching at the bottom is flat, allowing them to remain discreet under sportswear. We recommend trying the panties at home first to determine the absorbency level you need. They cannot be worn as a swimsuit.
Can they be used for incontinence?
Our Dim Protect menstrual panties are designed and tested for blood absorption. Leakage related to incontinence is quite different from menstrual flow. However, the high-flow Dim Protect panty can offer some peace of mind in cases of light urinary leakage.
