What is free-bleeding?
Free-bleeding means allowing your blood to flow with nothing obstructing or catching it. This means - no tampon, no pad, no menstrual cup... But of course, unless you have the ability to be out in nature & in privacy, free-bleeding can be messy and difficult to practice in your own home. Nobody wants the stress of getting blood on expensive furniture!
Free Bleed® Blankets have been created exactly for this purpose! So you can enjoy free-bleeding in the comfort of your own home.
What are the benefits of free-bleeding?
- Healthy airflow to your genitals & cervix.
- Enhanced connection to the experience of menstruation and the emotional/energetic gifts.
- Embracing radical self love & celebration of your body
- Comfort and pleasure!

How do these blankets work?
The soft outer fabric on Free Bleed® blankets absorbs any liquid, fluids, or oils, while the inner waterproof lining prevents anything from soaking through to the other side. You no longer have to sacrifice comfort for practicality.
How do I wash & care for my blanket? Will they stain?
All blankets can be washed & dried in your laundry machine. We recommend the delicate, hand-wash, or gentle cycle. Wash the blanket on its own, in cool or cold water. Washing with other items or in warm/hot water can cause the waterproof layer to deteriorate. If drying in the machine, choose a low temperature setting. Do not dry-clean your Free Bleed® Blanket.
99% of the time, blood, oils, and fluids of all kinds wash out easily in the washing machine, and the blankets will not stain due to their material. This is even true for the light colored Champagne blanket or the white fleecy side of all blankets! However, in the very rare case that you encounter a difficult stain, your regular eco stain-removing spray can also be used on the blankets prior to washing to remove tougher stains.
As with all blankets, frequent machine-washing can accelerate the "aging process." High heat from washing/drying cycles can melt & affect the inner waterproof lining of the blanket over time, so be mindful of this when selecting the temperature that you wash/dry at.
We guarantee the waterproof quality of your blanket for one year after purchase!
