We establish a non-Bloch band theory for one-dimensional(1D) non-Hermitian topological superconductors. The universal physical properties of non-Hermitian topological superconductors are revealed based on the theory. According to the particle-hole symmetry, there exist reciprocal particle and hole loops of generalized Brillouin zone (GBZ). The critical point of quantum phase transition, where the energy gap closes, appears when the particle and hole loops intersect at Bloch points.If the non-Hermitian system has non-Hermitian skin effects, the non-Hermitian skin effect should be the Z_{2} skin effect: the corresponding eigenstates of particle and hole localize at opposite ends of an open chain, respectively. The non-Bloch band theory is applied to two examples, non-Hermitian p- and s-wave topological superconductors. In terms of Majorana Pfaffian, a Z_{2} non-Bloch topological invariant is defined to establish the non-Hermitian bulk-boundary correspondence in non-Hermitian superconductors.
