🩸 Heavy, very heavy, or hemorrhagic menstrual flow
Think you have a heavy or very heavy menstrual flow? Before ordering a cute heavy-flow period underwear (like our Clara model, for example), let’s take a closer look at what a heavy or very heavy period flow really means. It’s both interesting and important to know your menstrual flow so you can choose the right period underwear—the one that will keep you protected for hours, day or night.

🍒 Heavy menstrual flow
A period flow is considered heavy if it’s more than 80 ml over the entire period. FYI, a menstrual cup can hold 25 ml of blood. This gives you a better idea, since it’s hard to estimate your own menstrual flow!
If you find yourself needing to change your period protection (tampons or pads) fairly often (about every three hours), you likely have a heavy flow.
🍒 Very heavy or hemorrhagic flow
Very heavy periods are often caused by a copper IUD and can be surprising, discouraging, overwhelming, or unsettling for those who aren’t comfortable with the sight of blood. The intensity of the flow can be stressful. Is it normal? Am I healthy?
If your periods are regular, you have no unusual pain, and you’re using a copper IUD for birth control, it’s very likely you’ll experience a heavier flow. That’s normal. There’s no need to worry too much.
However, if you’re not using a copper IUD and suddenly notice much heavier periods, irregular cycles, or experience any pain, it’s important to see a doctor to rule out any health problems. Regular gynecological checkups are important.
🩸 How to wear and use your heavy flow period panties
Having a heavy flow or very heavy periods isn’t inevitable. You just need to choose reliable period products that can handle a higher flow.
The great news: heavy flow period panties (period briefs, period shorties, or period boxers) have all the features you need to handle heavy, very heavy, or even hemorrhagic periods (including lochia and light urinary leaks).
Louloucup tip
To give yourself the best chance, develop the right habits and actions. At first, if you’re not sure about your period underwear’s capacity, wear it at home. Note the time you put it on and check it regularly in the bathroom to reassure yourself.
These first steps with your new washable period protection should put your mind at ease. You’ll see that even with a heavy flow, high-absorbency period underwear can absorb and hold blood in its membrane (the pad) without leaking or overflowing. The membrane is very thin but has impressive holding capacity without puffing up. Nothing shows under clothing, even tight ones. No diaper effect, no visible lines! #invisibleperiodpanties

If you’re looking for completely invisible period underwear, go for seamless. Louloucup offers you the Liv model—a great black panty, solid color, second-skin effect for heavy flow, totally invisible under even the tightest clothes.
A good quality heavy or very heavy flow period underwear can last an entire day without any issues. Put it on in the morning, wear it all day, and remove it at night. Then you can put on a new heavy flow period panty for the night. You’ll be fully protected and worry-free again.

🩸 How to choose the right heavy flow period underwear?
Some criteria are essential to prevent leaks—let’s list them together:
A good heavy-flow period underwear should have double protection. A reinforced inner layer ensures optimal protection and absorption.
The heavy flow period underwear is high-quality and reliable when it features protection that extends high up both the front and back. This extended coverage means you can enjoy peaceful nights without worrying about staining your pajamas or sheets.
Finally, heavy flow period underwear is especially helpful when the crotch is wide and the seams are designed to stop leaks from escaping out the sides.
A much-appreciated bonus: if you can, choose period underwear with transparent composition and materials that are gentle on your skin (for example, an inner lining made of organic cotton).

FAQ: heavy flow period underwear
Can I sleep in heavy-flow period underwear?
Absolutely! Washable period underwear is a great nighttime protection. Choose a style with an extended absorbent area that goes high in the front and back. At Louloucup, we recommend the Clara, Mathilde, or Liv models so you can sleep on your back or stomach without worrying about leaks or overflow. Result: zero stains on your pajamas or sheets!
How do you care for heavy flow period underwear?
Like all washable and reusable period underwear, you need to take care of your period panties by rinsing them right after use to remove blood, washing them in the machine on a short cycle at a maximum of 30°C with a mild, non-greasy detergent, and letting them air dry (no tumble dryer, radiator, or hair dryer!). Proper and careful maintenance will extend the lifespan and effectiveness of your period underwear. Also remember that heat is the enemy of your period panties (no hot water, no heat source for drying).
Is heavy-flow period underwear safe for your body and health?
Yes, if you choose committed brands that are transparent about their materials. That’s the case with Louloucup. You can find the composition of all our products on each product page. Remember, all our washable period panties are lined with GOTS-certified organic cotton. We also have our products tested by independent labs to ensure they contain no harmful or toxic chemicals (no pesticides, petrochemical derivatives, plastics, or PFAS). Also, with period underwear, there’s zero risk of TSS, Toxic Shock Syndrome.
How long can you wear heavy-flow period underwear?
It depends on your personal comfort and how heavy your period is, but heavy flow period underwear is designed to be worn for at least 6 to 8 hours without any risk of leaking. So you’re covered for a whole day or night.
Which heavy flow period underwear is best for a teen?
At Louloucup, we offer a range of teen period underwear. For teens with heavy periods, we recommend the Liv and Mathilde models in XXS.
I have an IUD. Is heavy-flow menstrual underwear an option for me?
Yes, absolutely, and that’s really good news for all women using this form of contraception. The copper IUD can really make periods much heavier. Washable period underwear gets the job done by absorbing and capturing even very heavy flows. It’s comfortable, pleasant, and way less stressful!
I have light bladder leaks. Is the heavy flow period underwear a good option?
Yes! To absorb light urinary leaks, period underwear for heavy flow can be a great option to stay dry and avoid that dreaded uncomfortable feeling of dampness.
I’m in the middle of postpartum—can I wear period underwear to absorb my discharge?
Yes! Once postpartum bleeding (lochia) is over, you can wear heavy or super-absorbent period underwear every day to avoid disposable, polluting hygiene products. You’ll be protected and especially enjoy the comfort of period underwear after childbirth. Louloucup also offers a range of comfortable, affordable, organic postpartum period underwear.
