III. How to choose and care for your period underwear

Find the perfect size for your comfort

Finding the right size for your high-waisted period underwear is important to fully enjoy its comfort and protection. Measure your waist and hips to make the best choice. Our tips for a great experience:

  • Measure your waist and hips to make an informed choice.

  • Check our size guide before confirming your order.

  • If you're really unsure, don't hesitate to contact customer service—we'll be happy to help you.

  • Choose the support level you prefer.

  • Check the reviews to better understand how each style fits.

Sizes can vary by brand, so always check their guide before buying. Some high-waisted styles are better for wider hips, while others fit smaller frames. Waist height can also vary depending on the cut.



Easy care for maximum durability


Whether you wash by hand or in the machine, choose the method that works best for you. Avoid fabric softener to maintain absorbency, and air dry to preserve the materials.


For best results, rinse your period underwear in cold water first. When machine washing, use a laundry bag and select a delicate cycle at 86°F (30°C). Never put them in the dryer, as this can damage the absorbent fibers. With regular care, your period underwear will stay effective for years.

All-encompassing comfort, optimal protection, and retro-chic style: high-waisted period panties have it all. Find your perfect size and turn every menstrual cycle into a moment of well-being. You deserve this gentle revolution!

FAQ: high-waisted period underwear

When should you change your high-waisted period underwear?

How often you need to change your period underwear depends on your flow and the absorbency of your lingerie. If you’ve chosen absorbent underwear that matches your flow, you can easily wear it all day or all night—up to 12 consecutive hours.

Change your period underwear as soon as you feel damp or uncomfortable. Always choose a panty suited to your flow for optimal comfort.

How do I know if my period underwear is full?

When a period panty reaches its maximum absorbency, you may feel a slight dampness. That’s a sign that the absorbent layer can’t hold any more liquid and it’s time to change it.


With high-waisted period underwear, the absorbent area is very large and wide, so it’s very rare for it to become saturated.

Why does my high-waisted period panty smell bad?

Odors in period underwear are often caused by blood coming into contact with air and bacteria from your intimate area. Poor care, like improper washing, can also leave residues and increase odors. A heavy flow can saturate the underwear faster, raising this risk.


Synthetic fabrics (like elastane, polyamide) can trap more moisture than natural fibers, creating an environment for odors. Make sure to rinse your underwear in cold water before washing, and use a gentle, fragrance-free detergent. Check out all our tips for rinsing, washing, and deep-cleaning your period underwear to eliminate all bad smells.
