5 period underwear you need in your wardrobe

When it comes to managing your period, comfort and ease is key. Here are five period products to keep in your underwear wardrobe to stay comfortable and confident no matter the time of the month. Say goodbye to the hassle of disposable period protection and having to worry about leaks. Our period panties give you a comfortable alternative made to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle.

How many period panties do you need? 

We would recommend starting with 3–5 pairs depending on the length and heaviness of your flow. That way you’ll have enough coverage for your entire menstruation without having to do too much laundry.  

You can always mix different absorbency levels for different days of your menstruation. For example, one pair of period panties with super absorbency for sleeping, two pairs with high absorbency for heavy days, and two pairs with medium absorbency for steady days in the middle of your period. If you want to ease in to using period underwear, you can always start with 1–2 pairs to complement your usual protection and to learn what are the best menstrual panties for you. If you’re unsure of what absorbency you should get, you can read our guide to find out what’s the best one for you. 

The high absorbency 

Our period panties with high absorbency are a real customer favourite. They can hold up to 4 traditional tampons/pads and are equivalent to changing protection five times a day. They are a great period panty to start with, as they will give you secure protection for both average and heavy flows. Comes in our fits hiphugger, high waist and boxer

Period panties for sleeping 

Our higher absorbency level – the super absorbency –  is great for sleeping in. They can hold up to 5 tampons/pads and are equivalent to changing traditional protection five times a day. These period panties come with an extended gusset in the front and back, making them perfect to use both night and day. Comes in our fits high waist and boxer for both women and teens

The medium absorbency 

The medium absorbency period panties can hold up to 2 tampons/pads and are equivalent to changing traditional protection every four hours or three times a day. They’re a perfect pair for average bleeders or for steady days in the middle of your period. Comes in our fits hiphugger, high waist, bikini and also in our maternity fit. Choose between soft and stretchy organic cotton blend or an invisible recycled polyamide blend. No matter which material you choose, our period panties are designed to feel snug at first and then relax with washing and repeated wear, to ensure the perfect fit for you. 

Period swimwear 

Our period panties for swimming should absolutely be a staple in your underwear wardrobe. They are ideal for days with low to moderate flow or as backup protection on heavier flow days and can hold up to 2 tampons/pads. The gusset is designed to absorb your period and other body fluids. After swimming, just rinse the swimwear until the water runs clear and gently squeeze out excess water before wearing it again. 

When heading home from the beach, you can conveniently store your worn swimwear (or period panties) in our smart water repellent pouch.  

The light and mini absorbency 

Our light absorbency period panties are great for lighter days at the beginning or end of your period. They can hold up to 1 tampon/pad and offer reliable coverage equal to a panty liner and come in our fits brazilian, thong and boxer.
