Have washed and re-washed and can't get rid of the red stain (sorry TMI). Dd not keen on using them again while they're like this.

Any tips how to get the stain out please?

I swear by a soak in Biotex with very lukewarm water. For stains like this you need immediate treatment with a biological enzyme based detergent, then wash and rinse very thoroughly. Hot water sets these stains and once they're dried on it may be too late to get them out completely.

I do a cold water wash, no detergent and then a normal wash with detergent. All good so far (Tulip brand)

And to those saying Mooncups are better.... When you're 11/12 years old, flooding and too anxious to change a pad at school for fear of rustling, a Mooncup is not going to cut it!
