How to Handwash Underwear Efficiently

I know not a lot of women do this, as most people would just throw everything in the washer, but I find it rather effective to wash my underwear by hand. I think they come out cleaner, because I am able to focus on the areas that really need some scrubbing--the crotch.

Anyway, here is one effective way that I find very easy to do. Here are the steps:

1. Find a good powdered detergent. In our case, it is Tide Laundry Detergent. It is more expensive than other brands, but it has more soap than chalk, and thus is more effective in doing the laundry.
2. Pour a considerable amount of soap (not too much, otherwise you would need a lot of water for rinsing), then add some water that is enough to soak your underwear. You may also opt to wet your undies first before the soaking.
3. Let the powdered soap foam in the water by mixing it with your hand. Then put the undies in it and roughly swished around so that the fabrics are soaked in soap.
4. After 30 minutes of soaking, handwash each panty, focusing on the crotch. After a few scrubs, the stains easily come off. Squeeze off excess soap and set aside. Continue with the other pieces.
5. After washing, rinse the batch 3 times.
6. Lastly, pour just enough water in your basin and add fabric conditioner. Soak the undies for 5 minutes and hang up to dry.

It is very simple and it takes me only a few minutes to really do the handwashing. The soaking part has already done much of the cleaning.

For blood stains, use shampoo on the area. It is more effective in removing those monthly stains.

Alright, I hope you find these tips helpful.
