How does Somos Martina work?
At Somos Martina, we specialize in creating absorbent and reusable underwear designed to provide comfort and protection during menstruation, incontinence, and postpartum. Discover how our absorbent underwear can transform your daily life.
Layer Technology
Our absorbent underwear is designed with innovative 100% organic cotton layer technology to provide maximum protection and comfort.
1. Quick-drying and breathable layer: The first layer wicks moisture away from your body and allows air to circulate, keeping you dry and comfortable all day.
2. Super absorbent and antibacterial layer: This central layer absorbs and retains a large amount of blood and fluid while combating bacterial growth, ensuring freshness and security.
3. Waterproof layer: The outer layer prevents leaks, offering extra protection without sacrificing style or comfort.

How to care for your absorbent underwear
To maintain the quality and extend the lifespan of your Somos Martina absorbent underwear, follow these care tips:
Hand washing:
If you choose to hand wash, soak your underwear in cold water for up to 30 minutes. Then, gently wash them with a mild soap and rinse thoroughly.
Machine washing:
If you prefer to use a washing machine, rinse them first to remove excess blood with cold water. Then, select the delicate cycle and use a gentle detergent. You can wash them with other similarly colored garments.
Avoid bleach:
Do not use bleach or harsh products. Opt for mild or biodegradable soaps that do not damage the absorbent fibers.
Air drying:
Air dry them by hanging in the shade or indirect sunlight. Avoid using dryers or clothing irons, as they can damage the materials and affect the absorbency.
By following these recommendations, you will keep your absorbent underwear in optimal condition to provide you with maximum protection and comfort.
