Source
Shach, Yoreh De'ah, Siman 389, S"K 2: "This means that we are concerned with the opinion of the Riva and his followers that washing is forbidden all thirty days, and it is implied in Tosafot Moed Katan, page 83a, that it is only forbidden when washed with natron and sand, but not with water alone. The Bach writes that if washed only with water, there is no need to first have someone else wear it, and it is certainly permitted immediately after seven days." Washing in water alone during the thirty days is permitted, as also written by the Chacham Tzvi and Panim Meirot. However, the Masgeret HaShulchan prohibits it.
