What should you choose: menstrual thong or menstrual tanga?
When it comes to menstrual lingerie, you’ve really got plenty of choice to treat yourself! Menstrual shorty, menstrual bloomer, high-waisted menstrual brief, classic menstrual panty, but also menstrual thong or menstrual tanga!
Which thong menstrual panties should you choose? What’s the difference between a period tanga and a period thong?
You’re looking for high-cut menstrual lingerie that’s effective, reliable and discreet, comfortable and leakproof? You love beautiful, feminine lingerie and don’t want to compromise during your period? You’re already convinced by washable menstrual products and period panties in general and would like to order a period thong or period tanga, but you’re hesitating between the two styles?
Do you have a light menstrual flow or very light periods? Do you experience spotting (light bleeding between periods during your cycle) or various types of **vaginal discharge**, and are you looking for an absorbent, invisible protection to replace **disposable panty liners**?
Louloucup, a brand of organic menstrual underwear, helps you choose between a thong and a tanga, the right style of period underwear according to your tastes and needs.
🌺 G-string vs thong: which one should you choose?
The menstrual thong or menstrual tanga are washable period underwear, meaning absorbent panties that capture and hold menstrual flow very effectively.
Cut, absorbency, an alternative to panty liners, delicate lingerie… we go through all the criteria for period thongs and tangas and help you choose the style that suits you best!
◉ Thong and tanga: a different cut
These two iconic, must‑have pieces of **women’s lingerie** are similar in many ways. In both cases, your butt is highlighted. There’s very little fabric and the cut is minimal. Both thongs and tangas are **high‑cut lingerie** pieces.
The main difference between a thong and a tanga is the cut, especially at the back. A period tanga is a slightly less high-cut menstrual protection than a period thong at the buttocks, in particular.
The menstrual tanga has a bit more fabric, while the menstrual thong is defined only by thin bands of fabric at the hips and across the buttocks. In short, the period thong is a very high-cut, minimalist, very sexy and more revealing underwear option than the period tanga.
◉ Equivalent absorbency capacity
Light-flow menstrual lingerie for light periods, such as menstrual thongs or menstrual strings, has an absorption capacity equivalent to 1 or 2 sanitary tampons.
This kind of high-cut period panty uses less fabric. Its absorbent capacity is therefore lower than other styles such as the menstrual boxer, the menstrual shorty or the high-waisted period panty – which makes sense!
A menstrual thong is typically effective for light periods, light spotting and everyday discharge. With a menstrual thong, you get no leaks, no stains, no saturation. Both the tanga and the menstrual thong are excellent alternatives to tampons, pads and panty liners.
◉ Thong or tanga, a great eco-friendly alternative to panty liners
Products you should absolutely ban from your routine
Eco‑friendly, washable, durable, reusable, zero‑waste – both the menstrual string and thong are very interesting menstrual and hygiene products for the planet, the environment and your health. They save you from buying disposable tampons and pads every month.
Buying a washable, reusable menstrual thong helps you avoid buying disposable, polluting panty liners that generate non-recyclable plastic waste.
◉ Strings and thongs: sexy and feminine models
Do you especially love feminine, sexy, delicate lingerie? With lace and beautiful finishes? Thongs and tangas are small lingerie pieces with very little fabric. These period panties are highly suggestive and enhance your body, your shape, your curves and your femininity!
◉ Menstrual thong and tanga: all about discretion!
Thongs and tangas have a major advantage: they’re extremely discreet!
Very minimal, thongs and tangas are the most invisible lingerie you can wear. The tiny amount of fabric helps. With a period thong, there’s no line, no mark under your clothes. Total invisibility!
Pregnancy naturally interrupts your menstrual cycle. During the nine months you’re carrying your baby, you no longer have periods (you may exceptionally experience anniversary periods). After giving birth, you’ll have heavy discharge called lochia. This is the natural aftermath of childbirth—your body is clearing out. The “return of your period,” meaning the return of menstruation after your baby is born, varies. It depends on whether you’re breastfeeding. It can take several months for your cycle to become regular again. This adjustment phase is completely normal.
