Lady Dry pants

I bought two pairs of these to try out from TU - they're comfortable if a little more old lady pants than my usual and a lot less trouble than pads.
The only trouble is that the washing instructions say don't spin dry and don't tumble dry. I f you hand wash as I have been doing, they take two to three days to dry. I can't afford seven pairs.

Are they these?

If so...
They say cold wash on delicates and line dry.
They don't say hand wash.
They are expecting them to be spun as part of the wash cycle it seems to me.

Thanks for the link, NotSpaghetti*, I wear washable panty liners for minor stress incontinence, but these pants are cheaper than a lot of others and would probably be better protection than the pads. I have ordered one pair to try.

I've just read the washing instructions in the link provided by Notspaghetti.
Nowhere does it say Do Not Spin Dry. Only Do not TUMBLE dry.
They are machine washable, so not a problem.

I don't know if they are the correct pair though, Aldom

TU seem to have a few different ones.

Oh, yes, possibly different instructions. smile

Actually all the lady leaks knickers seem to have the same washing instructions.

That is really annoying. They keep you dry but won't dry! I can see why they can't be tumble dried as they maybe have elastane in that would go funny, but I would do them in a washing machine on a delicates cycle and then maybe hang them on a radiator? Unfortunately you probably will need more than two pairs as they might take a day or two to dry.
