They’re the M&S ones.

I have done this to cheeky pants period pants before and haven't had any problems as a result.

I always tumble dry my CW ones and they're fine.

I've got some from Amazon and always tumble dry them

Modi tumble ok for me. They don’t dry without heat in winter.

Generally if you have an item with a high elastane constant you shouldn't tumble them a lot as it degrades the elastane. The occasional slip up shouldn't affect them

Constant? Content!

My modibodis are tumble dried every time. No issues at all

Couchpotato3 · 30/11/2021 16:03

Modi here too, tumble dried them a gazillion times. Absolutely fine.

Over time repeated tumble drying can break down the waterproofing layer, but a one off won't hurt.

Ah phew. Thank you. I didn’t know about elastane degrading with tumble drying. Learn something new every day.

Has anyone ever tumble dried the primary ones?

Not2daySatan · 30/11/2021 17:24

Sorry that was meant to be primark

SuperDuperC · 30/11/2021 17:25

Oooh these sound good! Are they worth a try? Period pants? How long can you wear them? Fed up with pads 🤯

They are definitely worth trying! They’re so comfortable and really absorbent. I love them for nighttime especially.
