In case there was spillage, hydrogen peroxide is your friend for getting out blood stains! Glad the day is over for you. Had a friend take a ride home and wore a skirt and got her period…back seat was stained :( I definitely have also done the bundled TP in a pinch. Periods suck.

Hydrogen peroxide will remove the blood but also may bleach your pants. Start with with water and a brush to get get off as much as possible, then use the hydrogen peroxide.

idk if it's the same for blood, but for other stains after you wash it make sure to hang it to dry the first time. If it didn't come out you can try again, but if you put it through the dryer it'll get baked in.

Hydrogen peroxide for removing blood is a great tip, very useful when I found out about it.

Once my mom taught me that, I always wondered why folks had period underwear. I taught so many friends about it and they were upset at how many pairs of undies they’ve thrown away or had permanently stained. Truly spread the magic world of science! ✨

I only heard about it via the internet, but it's helpful for cleaning up blood and such. Not as often as those with periods might need it, but still good to know considering how often I end up having to clean blood, lol

To add to this, in a pinch your own spit will lift your own blood stain. It won’t full on remove it immediately, but if you spit on it when it’s reasonably fresh, then wash it whenever, it will come right out.

It’s bizarre, but it works.
