Period underwear saves you money, protects you against embarrassing leaks, and makes for an easier menstrual cycle overall. In this blog, we’ll go over everything you want to know about period undies, who can use them, how to maintain them and where you can purchase them.
- Every woman with a period can use period undies.
They protect you against leaks whether you have a light to moderately heavy flow. They can also be used in tandem with pads and tampons if you are someone who has a heavy flow and tends to have a lot of leaks.
- They Are An Environmentally Friendly Choice
With tampons and pads, much of the wrapping material ends up in landfills that are hurting our planet. The average woman uses anywhere from 5,00 to 15,00 pads and tampons throughout her life. With period undies, you wash and reuse them thusly cutting down your carbon footprint.

This allows you to go about your day and not have to constantly be running to the bathroom to change out your tampon or pad.
