1. Wash your pad before use (this helps with absorbency for the first time you use)
2. Place pad, pattern facing down, on the inside of your underwear.
3. Fold wings around the outside and snap them closed.
4. Change pad at least every 3-4 hours.

Wearing another pair of underwear over the top helps keep your pad in place.

1. Rinse your pad in cool water until the water runs clear OR soak in cool water overnight (no warmer than 30 degrees)
2. Hand wash with a gentle detergent in lukewarm water OR machine wash on gentle. 
3. For stubborn stains, work a little laundry soap into the fabric prior to washing.
4. Line dry in sunshine if possible.

DO NOT use hot water, DO NOT use a dryer (This could destroy the waterproof layer)
