Soak them. The longer, the better! This helps to draw the blood out of the pads. Afterwards, drain the water out of the pads.
Change the water before adding soap. Remove the blood stains by gently massaging in the soap.
Wring them out well afterwards.
Dry them outside in the sunlight. The sun will also disinfect your sanitary pads. If you cannot dry them outside, make sure that they dry quickly.
Reuse the fully dried sanitary pad. If you do not need it directly, store it in a clean space.
