Reviews from users before you can teach you a lot!
Comfort, security, sizing, cut, how to use it, how it works… in the end, it’s always our users and customers who talk best about our period swimsuits! With them, there’s no sugar‑coating! The reviews are authentic and honest.
How does a period swimsuit work?
It’s the layering of three precise technical fabrics that makes the period swimsuit so effective.
The draining fabric instantly channels your flow toward the absorbent core.
A super‑absorbent membrane at the core of the swimsuit very effectively locks in menstrual flow.
Finally, a waterproof membrane blocks anything from passing through to the outside so you can relax. The hydrophobic outer barrier plays a key role. It stops pool water from getting inside the swimsuit. That way, your blood stays trapped and never disperses into the pool.
The textile technology used lets you swim without worrying that water will saturate the protection, thanks to ultra‑thin yet completely waterproof membranes.
The Laura period swimsuit
Our high‑waisted Laura period bikini bottom for light to normal flow has a very respectable rating of 4.6/5.
The vast majority of feedback highlights the pretty design, comfort, and beauty of the style. In rare cases, some have said the fit runs a little large!
-
“Swimsuit matches the description. Tested at the end of my period and no issues!”
-
“It’s original, it comes up quite high which is a nice change but it doesn’t look ‘granny’!! Can’t wait to try it this summer!”
- “Very pretty, comfortable to wear, used once, no issues, but it does run a little large.”
Best suited for which flow?
For light to medium menstrual flow, the retention capacity is impressive. The fibers capture blood instantly with no risk of it leaking back out. You can swim without fearing any tell‑tale streak behind you.
If you have a very heavy flow, don’t take unnecessary risks. We recommend using a cup or menstrual disc as well. This gives you total security for long afternoons at the beach. The cup + swimsuit combo for heavy flow is really the best!
What does it look like on?
You might be worried about a “sponge” effect or a swimsuit that puffs up. The Louloucup style stays very thin. It absolutely does not soak up bath water. No diaper effect, no heaviness.
As for the look, rest assured: the design is identical to a traditional style. It looks just like any classic, elegant swimsuit. No one will be able to tell that you’re on your period.
Blood doesn’t dilute when you’re in the water. The seams fit snugly against your skin to keep everything watertight. Discretion is absolute, even when you get out of the pool.
KEY POINTS
- Super‑effective absorption for light to medium menstrual flow.
- Pair the swimsuit with a cup or disc if you have a heavy or very heavy flow.
- Very thin fabric and visually discreet.
- Modern, elegant cuts (high‑waisted, one‑piece, etc.)
Reviews of Louloucup period swimsuits
Here’s an overview of our four flagship styles along with the main reviews from our users!
Laura
The Laura style is a high-waisted menstrual bikini bottom. Its flattering high-rise cut suits every body shape, from XS to XXL. The crossed detail at the back is really beautiful.
In terms of performance, this style is perfect for light to medium flow. Users love how comfortable it is and its fair price. It absorbs the equivalent of two tampons without ever swelling up in salt or chlorinated water.
Like all the other swimsuits in the range, Laura can easily be included in a custom bundle with a sliding-scale discount. If you order 4 other products of your choice, you can get Laura for €22.90 instead of €28.90.

“Amazing!
“Super stylish swimsuit, comfortable and effective! It saved my vacation because of course my period started the day we left. Swimming and sunbathing with zero stress. At 40, it’s the first time I’ve had such a great vacation while on my period thanks to these XXL bikini bottoms. So thank you!”
- “A gem!
“WOW, I love it, it’s really gorgeous. So different from classic styles. I almost want to wear it even when I’m not on my period haha.”
Noa
Noa is the favorite of sporty types looking for elegance. Its timeless cut with plunging neckline is designed so you can move freely. Thanks to its adjustable straps and built‑in bra, it stays put, even when you dive.
Combining style and performance, it stays discreet thanks to its ultra‑thin absorbent pad. Users love how quickly it dries after getting out of the water. It’s the perfect ally to avoid that unpleasant damp feeling between swims.
Noa also works perfectly under a beach dress or sarong, just like a bodysuit.
Noa is perfect for light to medium flow. Add a cup if your periods are heavy!
Like all other Louloucup products, Noa is eligible for our sliding‑scale bundle pricing.

“Very pretty one‑piece swimsuit.
Not tested in the water yet, but the cut, style, and quality are all there! Can’t wait to wear it at the beach. Fits very well. Small downside: the bust lining tends to stick out a bit at the top of the neckline."
- “Top‑notch quality and customer service!
I’m delighted with my swimsuit purchase. The quality is obvious at first glance and the customer service really stands out for its responsiveness. Can’t wait to put it to the test!”
Manon
Manon is the super basic but essential period swimsuit bottom! These black period bikini briefs are ultra simple. That’s what we love about them. They’re discreet and go with any bikini top.
Available from size XXS to XL, Manon is perfect for anyone just starting out with washable period products. The support is reinforced to offer optimal comfort during all water activities.
At €22.90 for the teen version and €28.90 for the adult versions, Manon is eligible for our custom bundle offer, so don’t hesitate to add other period products to your order to save money.
- “Very well cut, comfortable, you can’t tell at all that it’s a special swimsuit. And it works.”
- “I was very hesitant about the idea and really nervous to try it. In the end, I’m thrilled with my purchase. Very practical and comfortable. I was able to enjoy going in the water without any worries and had zero issues. I recommend it!”
- Amazing, my daughter was able to swim during her period with no leaks at all.
Juliette
Juliette is simply the swimsuit version of our super popular Naomi period panties! We loved the design so much that we wanted to offer Naomi as a swimsuit too! The little side ties are truly irresistible.
These cute period bikini bottoms easily absorb light to medium menstrual flow. If you have a heavy or very heavy flow, we recommend wearing an internal period product as well as Juliette.
Discreet, absorbent, and stylish, Juliette has everything you need for a free and worry‑free summer!
Juliette is available from size XS to 2XL.
- “Good‑quality panties, comfortable to wear. I easily stayed 2 hours in the water.”

Bonus: how to care for your swimsuit so it lasts 5 years and more?
To make your investment last, a little care ritual is needed after every dip. To become an expert in caring for period swimwear, feel free to check out our 7 tips!
Rinsing and washing to protect the fibers
Rinse your swimsuit in cold water immediately after swimming. This prevents the blood from setting permanently into the fibers. It’s the most important step to ensure perfect hygiene.
Then use a neutral soap with no fabric softener. Oily products or glycerin clog the pores of the absorbent membrane. A machine wash at 30°C is more than enough to finish cleaning it.
Taking care of your protection lets you enjoy a stress‑free period in summer. Careful maintenance ensures the technology stays effective for years of swimming.
Quick‑dry tips between swims
Never wring out your period swimsuit by twisting it hard. Gently press it in a dry towel to soak up the moisture. This prevents damage to the waterproof fibers, which are particularly delicate.
Lay your swimsuit flat to dry, always in the shade. Direct sun can “cook” the technical membranes and damage the elasticity. Check that the core is dry by pressing firmly on the gusset.
Material resistance to salt and chlorine
Our technical fabrics are highly resistant to sea salt. Your swimsuit’s elasticity stays intact despite repeated dips in the ocean. The colors don’t fade thanks to a specific treatment applied to the fibers.
Be careful with prolonged exposure to chlorine during your pool sessions. A thorough rinse is needed to neutralize harsh chemicals. This effectively protects its overall lifespan.
KEY POINTS.
- Certified UV resistance
- Chlorine‑resistant fabrics
- Elasticity that lasts 5 years
- Non‑toxic dyes
In short: period swimsuit reviews
The period swimsuit combines a water‑repellent membrane with an absorbent core to guarantee swimming with no leaks and no ballooning effect. This innovation offers total freedom and complete discretion. As long as you rinse it in cold water, this technical fabric will stay effective and high‑performing for 5 to 10 years.
Thanks to invisible absorbent technology and easy care, you enjoy total freedom in the water. Read each period swimsuit review to choose the cut that suits your flow and guarantees peace of mind. Dive into a carefree summer and long‑lasting protection!
