Are you a die-hard thong fan? It’s true this piece of lingerie has a lot going for it! A thong is minimal, very feminine, cut just high enough, and it’s as sexy as a string without going overboard. In short, we love wearing it to feel beautiful and feminine.
Hard to picture it as menstrual protection? And yet, menstrual thongs do exist! The menstrual thong changes everything: it combines style and protection during your period.
No more choosing between comfort and style: this design is perfect for light flow, spotting, vaginal discharge or as backup with a cup.
In this article, find out how the thong period panty adapts to every phase of your menstrual cycle—from the start or end of your period to ovulation—thanks to breathable materials like organic cotton, its invisible‑under‑clothes design and its eco‑friendly, budget‑friendly benefits. An economical, discreet, healthy and long‑lasting solution to experience your cycle and your femininity with total freedom.
In this article, you’ll find:
As backup, extra protection, for very light periods or during ovulation, the period thong is a little essential you’ll be glad to have in your underwear drawer! And yes, despite what you might think, it’s actually useful not to own only heavy-flow period panties or very heavy-flow panties (like our amazing Clara very heavy-flow high-waisted period panty, for example), but to mix and match products and absorbency levels so you’re ready for every situation. (We’ll never say it enough: a successful period routine is always planned and organised in advance!)
The menstrual thong panty is the perfect blend of style and practicality. Depending on your profile and expectations, you can wear it at different times in your cycle.
Let’s go through all the possible ways you can use this particular period underwear together:
For a light menstrual flow: if your periods are naturally light, or at the very beginning or very end of your period, the menstrual thong replaces panty liners (10 ml, equivalent to 1 tampon).
During ovulation: as we’ve already discussed on the blog, vaginal discharge can vary in amount. During ovulation, the washable absorbent thong perfectly holds cervical mucus.
If you experience spotting, a thong‑style period panty is a great backup menstrual protection! Just pop a thong in your bag.
If you want extra back‑up alongside a cup, disc or tampon, if your periods are quite intense or you’re anxious about leaks, a period thong can really put your mind at ease.
The menstrual thong is ideal for light flows at the beginning or end of your period. It replaces disposable panty liners. Thanks to its breathable material (GOTS-certified organic cotton) and moderate absorption, it is very comfortable. Washable and reusable, it reduces waste while remaining discreet under clothing. Its layering of several technical fabric layers ensures top absorption without feeling damp.
Spotting refers to light bleeding between periods, more precisely intermenstrual bleeding. These small, unexpected losses are quite annoying and can catch you off guard. The menstrual thong adapts to unpredictable cycles thanks to its snug cut and antibacterial fibers. It eliminates odors and chafing while remaining invisible under clothing. Perfect for surprises, it combines eco-friendliness and practicality without sacrificing comfort.
During ovulation, cervical mucus can cause some discomfort. Menstrual tangas, with their built‑in absorbent layer, manage these vaginal secretions while keeping you feeling fresh for longer. Their inner lining, made from organic cotton and in contact with your intimate area, wicks away moisture and prevents irritation. The close‑fitting cut ensures total discretion, even under tight clothing.
For heavier flows, the washable menstrual thong can easily be combined with a menstrual cup, a menstrual disc or a tampon to avoid potential leaks. It catches any overflow without irritating the skin.

Despite its thinness, the absorbent area of the period thong relies on three-layer technology.

The second layer holds the flow effectively without bulking up.
The third layer, made from breathable PUL, blocks leaks without suffocating the skin.
Depending on how heavy your discharge is, you can wear a tanga-style period panty for 6 to 8 hours. Its anti-odor and antibacterial properties prevent discomfort, even in summer. And unlike disposable products, its structure prevents chafing.
