When I was a bride of about3 weeks I mistakenly washed my favourite red blouse with underwear - my husbands included. Everything came out a lovely shade and hue of pink. He said, "Creative laundering by B. Maurene White Elliott (my newly married name, I kept my maiden name and added his family name). He bravely wore his pink underwear, maybe imagining other husbands had creative laundresses too!

Did you try using Retayne to lock in the color? It supposes to help with bleeding.
