🌺 Thong VS tanga, which one should you pick?
Menstrual thongs and menstrual tangas are washable period underwear—absorbent panties that effectively capture and retain your flow.
Cut, absorbency, an alternative to panty liners, delicate lingerie—we break down all the features of period thongs and tangas to help you find the one that’s right for you!
◉ Thong and tanga: a different cut
These two iconic and essential pieces of women’s lingerie are similar in many ways. In both cases, they enhance your buttocks. There’s minimal fabric and a sleek cut. Both thongs and tangas are types of revealing lingerie.
The main difference between a thong and a tanga is the cut, especially at the back. Period tangas are hygienic protection that are a bit less revealing than period thongs in the back, in particular.
Period tangas have a bit more fabric, while period thongs are defined by thin strips of fabric on the hips and the back. In short, period thongs are very high-cut, minimalist underwear—super sexy and more revealing than period tangas.
◉ Equivalent absorbency
Light flow menstrual underwear—like menstrual thongs or menstrual strings—offers absorption equivalent to 1 or 2 regular pads.
This type of high-cut period underwear uses less fabric, so the absorbency is lower than other styles like the period boxer, period shorty, or high-waisted period panties—makes sense!
Menstrual thongs are typically effective for light periods, spotting, vaginal discharge, and light bleeding. With a menstrual thong: no leaks, no stains, no saturation. The tanga and the menstrual thong? Excellent alternatives to tampons, pads, and panty liners.
◉ Thong or tanga, a great eco-friendly alternative to panty liners
The main feature of menstrual thongs or tangas is the highly absorbent technical fabric sewn into the lining at the crotch. The goal? To capture and retain menstrual flow effectively without saturating, overflowing, or leaking.
Eco-friendly, washable, durable, reusable, zero-waste—thongs and menstrual tangas are menstrual and hygienic protection options that are great for the planet, the environment, and your health. They save you from buying disposable tampons and pads every month.
Buying a washable and reusable period thong helps you avoid buying disposable, polluting panty liners that create non-recyclable plastic waste.
◉ Strings and thongs: sexy, feminine styles
Are you especially fond of feminine, sexy, delicate lingerie? With lace and beautiful finishing touches? Both thongs and tangas are small pieces of lingerie with minimal fabric. These period underwear styles are very suggestive and enhance your body, your shape, your curves, and your femininity!
◉ Menstrual thong and tanga: all about discretion!
