At night, your period doesn’t stop—so which protection should you choose?

At night, even if your flow slows down because you’re lying down and not moving, there’s still some flow. What period protection should you choose for nighttime?

At night, skip both menstrual cups and tampons! Nighttime lasts about eight to ten hours straight, so internal protection should be avoided to reduce the risk of toxic shock syndrome. Tampons can also dry out your vaginal flora.


As you’ve gathered, it’s best to choose external protection for a restful, worry-free night. Are disposable pads a good solution? Classic disposable pads might be convenient, but they’re also polluting. Plus, when your flow is heavy, pads aren’t always reliable—they can quickly become saturated, leak, and cause stains. Finally, disposable pads are often prone to unpleasant odors. The experience isn’t always comfortable.

To best contain your flow and enjoy a calm, worry-free night, period underwear is especially well-suited. For a peaceful night, your underwear should be highly absorbent with a tall, extended protective layer in both the front and back. After all, you can sleep on your stomach, side, or back at night. You might stay in the same position for hours, so your flow stays in one spot. The absorbent fabric needs to be substantial enough to handle even the heaviest flow.

In addition to its high absorbency, the period panty is also super comfortable. Period underwear means leak-free, worry-free sleep.

Period underwear checks all the boxes!

Let’s go over all the benefits and highlights of period underwear together—a perfect hygienic protection for nighttime.

In recent years, period underwear has become the best option—the top hygienic alternative—for managing and experiencing your menstrual cycle with greater peace of mind.

Reviews of period panties are unanimous. Period underwear is practical, healthy, highly absorbent, and reliable.

Women feel comfortable in their clothes or pajamas, day or night.

The period panty holds your flow without swelling up. You stay dry all night long. No risk of vulvar dryness or bad odors. No bacterial buildup either.

Choose period underwear that’s gentle on your body, your intimate area, and the environment. Pay attention to the materials and, if possible, go for organic cotton and certifications like Oeko-Tex Standard 100.
