Choosing your ideal period panty based on your profile
Depending on your profile, habits, and the nature and intensity of your flow, you can choose a specific type of period underwear. It’s important to carefully read the product details as well as user reviews before making your choice.
If you have a very heavy or hemorrhagic flow
The heavy-flow period brief or very heavy-flow style is a must-have in your period routine. This type of brief, specially designed to handle heavy or very heavy flow, is particularly practical for many women.
With its high absorbency, the very heavy-flow period brief provides strong, reliable protection for many hours. No dampness, no leaks, no saturation, and no bad odors—the very heavy-flow period brief easily manages periods with a copper IUD, for example. These styles can also be suitable postpartum to handle lochia. Its absorbent core extends from the front to the back of the brief and rises up to the buttocks for wide, fail-safe protection.
Main feature: an impressive absorbency capacity, equivalent to 5 tampons.
If you’re looking for period underwear with a clean composition
No risk of toxic shock syndrome, no irritation, no dryness, no danger to your health, your intimate area, or your hormonal balance—period underwear is an external, renewable, washable hygienic protection with a clean, transparent composition.
We’re all for organic period underwear and local, French or European manufacturing. Many brands are making a real effort to offer very high-quality briefs made from healthy materials such as organic cotton or organic bamboo. Pay attention to the various labels and certifications (OEKO-TEX) to be sure you’re getting briefs with top-notch composition!
Main takeaway: the brand should clearly highlight the composition, as well as labels, certifications, patents, and any test results proving that the fabrics used are safe.
If you’re sporty
Menstrual panties that are absorbent, reliable, and super discreet? Invisible, seamless menstrual panties are favorites among athletes. With these super discreet models, sporty women don’t have to give up their favorite leggings. The fabrics used are often very thin and soft, and the seams are either flat or invisible.
We particularly love the second-skin feel and the softness of the fabric.
Main feature: seamless and invisible is great, but never forget that high absorbency is a must for intense workouts.
If your periods are irregular
Menstrual panties can be very useful and practical in case of irregular periods. Surprise or irregular periods come earlier or later than expected. These periods catch you off guard, and it’s always unpleasant to realize it when far from home.
Menstrual panties easily fit into a handbag. In this way, they are a practical and comfortable backup emergency hygienic protection you can always rely on.
Main feature: if your periods are irregular, why not opt for a panty style with an easy‑open fastening system that you can take off or put on in a flash?
If you experience spotting
Light flow, spotting, vaginal discharge—menstrual panties are very practical for managing these kinds of leaks too. To avoid using classic disposable panty liners, light-flow menstrual panties are ideal. Menstrual tangas or even menstrual thongs can absorb light menstrual flow, spotting (light and intermittent leaks), as well as vaginal discharge throughout the menstrual cycle.
Main feature: since you wear these panties all day, choose protection that is above all comfortable, lined with organic cotton.
