💧 The period swimsuit: an effective solution with everything going for it
The period swimsuit has everything teens love (the Manon style is available in size 2XS) as well as adult women, athletes and anyone who wants to enjoy a swim during their period.
An eco-friendly, zero-waste alternative, the period bikini absorbs your flow, holds it in, and prevents leaks. It helps you save money by avoiding the purchase of sanitary tampons. It’s much better for the environment because it leaves no waste behind, and it’s also much healthier for your body. It doesn’t irritate, fits well, and absorbs with confidence.
A few words about Noa 💦
- Noa is a very pretty one-piece period swimsuit!
- Noa is perfect for light to medium flow.
- If you have heavy periods and a strong flow, we recommend pairing Noa with a menstrual cup or tampon to avoid any risk of leaks.
- Noa is suitable for both the pool and the sea.
- Noa handles freshwater, saltwater, and chlorinated water equally well.
- And as with all your washable menstrual products, the right routine: after wearing it, rinse Noa with clear water, then wash it by machine or by hand using a very gentle detergent. Finally, let Noa air dry. No tumble drying or direct sunlight!
On the hunt for the best period swimsuit on the market? Take a look at the Louloucup e-shop 👀 You’re in for a few surprises! On the menu: organic cotton, European manufacturing, low prices, free delivery in France and… stunning designs!
DID YOU KNOW?
Period swimsuits are washed and cared for just like period underwear.
- Rinse it in water as soon as you take it off. While rinsing, you need to flush out all the menstrual flow that has been absorbed by the lining.
- You can wash it in the machine or by hand. It’s up to you. You can absolutely pop it in the machine with the rest of your dirty laundry on a fairly short cycle (30 minutes) at a maximum of 30°C. The technical fabrics in period swimwear don’t like heat!
- Once it’s washed, lay your swimsuit flat and let it air dry naturally. You’ll need to be patient. With its different fabrics, drying can take a little time. Again, no tumble dryer, direct sun or radiator.

Which option offers the best value for money? Pay attention and take the time to compare the different offers:
- promo code,
- sales,
- special discounts,
- Black Friday,
- or value packs.
It’s very worthwhile for you and your wallet to compare and not rush. It can also be smart to place a group order to save on shipping costs, for example (at Louloucup, shipping is free in France and Europe 😉)
To save money, consider ordering with your sister, mother, friends, or cousins. At Louloucup, the custom bundle lets you save as soon as you have two products in your cart. The base price of €28.90 only decreases as you add more products (any item). It’s the perfect opportunity to complete your menstrual kit with high-quality products, made from safe materials that will last a long time.
The shape of the swimsuit
Do you want a one-piece or two-piece swimsuit? The one-piece menstrual swimsuit can have certain advantages. It can hide a bloating caused by your period, shape your figure, and has a certain style. It can also serve as a backup bodysuit. The Noa one-piece from Louloucup, for example, is appreciated for its enveloping and covering fit. It also pairs very well with a pareo or a beach dress!
For the two-piece menstrual swimsuit, we’re specifically talking about the swimsuit bottom or bikini briefs, which can be worn mismatched for a relaxed, carefree summer look. It’s up to you!
Period swimwear and heavy periods—possible?
Today, fabric technology can handle a light menstrual flow or a medium menstrual flow. For heavy flow, very heavy flow or hemorrhagic flow, we recommend using a menstrual cup for totally leak-free swimming. And right after your swim, don’t hesitate to slip on a heavy-flow period underwear in organic cotton from Louloucup, just as comfy as it is reliable, so you feel good and safe. Again, it’s a great idea to order it at the same time as your period swimsuit so you’re perfectly equipped and can calmly anticipate any situation. Plus, when you order your products together, you pay less! 🤑
