Absorbent underwear for new moms: is it a good idea for postpartum intimate protection?
During the postpartum period, new moms need comfort, confidence, and security. It’s important for them to rely on everyday products that are dependable to help and support them in their new life.
The absorbent underwear is an essential item for any new mom. Why? Louloucup takes a closer look at the topic.
Why are period panties so appealing?
After giving birth and bringing baby home, new moms look for quality intimate and hygienic protection. Comfort, absorbency, price—the absorbent panty is an effective replacement for disposable hygiene products (maternity pads and postpartum underwear). Why is it a good alternative? Here are our three reasons.
1 - Absorbent underwear is cost-effective
The price of an absorbent panty or washable, reusable panty can be off-putting. It can be a real investment for many. However, it pays off quickly. Sales, discounts, promo codes, bundle deals, referral programs—keep an eye out for great offers.
At Louloucup, we pride ourselves on being one of the best French brands in terms of value for money. The best part is buying in bundles. Panties, thongs, menstrual cups, swimsuits—add as many period products as you want to your cart and save. Plus, shipping is always free!
2 - The absorbent underwear is comfortable
After giving birth, comfort is key. To pamper your recovering body, ultra-soft, high-quality absorbent underwear is a must.
Choose seamless organic cotton period underwear, and look for a brand that respects women’s body types by offering well-fitted, well-cut designs. In short, go for quality!
3 - Absorbent underwear is highly reliable
Very heavy flow, period returning, postpartum bleeding, lochia and spotting—the postpartum period is marked by various types of discharge and bleeding. Having the right supplies is essential to get through this often exhausting time.
Bleeding can be especially irregular and very heavy. To manage it without constantly changing, absorbent underwear with a sewn-in absorbent layer is extremely helpful.
The absorbent panty uses technology to capture and lock in your flow. The flow is trapped in the membrane and won’t leak out. With its high absorbency, there’s no risk of it overflowing or leaking. No worries about stains or leaks.
Louloucup’s postpartum line
Since its creation, Louloucup has aimed to reach all women. Younger girls experiencing their first periods (teen range), those who prefer menstrual cups, those who can’t skip their swim session (menstrual swimwear range), and anyone who doesn’t wear a size S (plus size menstrual underwear range).
We haven’t forgotten about new moms. Whether during pregnancy or after giving birth, wearing a Louloucup postpartum period underwear guarantees you’ll stay dry for hours, with less mental load—no stress, no leaks, no bad odors.
A very heavy flow
All our postpartum period underwear have one thing in common: a very high absorbency capacity. Thanks to their cut, which provides extended protection at the front and back, our postpartum panties can absorb as much as 5 regular pads.
Several Louloucup styles and absorbent panties are designed for heavy flows:
- Clara,
- Mathilde,
- Liv,
- And Fanny.
Super absorbent models that are also very beautiful
We’re not shy about it—we work hard to offer you absorbent panties with beautiful, feminine cuts. Because living through postpartum isn’t easy, you deserve to feel good and beautiful in your underwear! All of our panties are well-designed, feminine, and come in a variety of styles. The materials are soft and high-quality: lace, dotted mesh, and cotton.
Spotlight on the Liv model
Without a doubt, the Liv absorbent underwear is a crowd favorite (4.9/5!). This perfect period panty for handling very heavy periods will delight new moms looking for comfort, discretion, and effectiveness.
- The Liv menstrual underwear is super soft and feels like a second skin. It’s truly a pleasure to wear every day. 100% comfort guaranteed, especially thanks to the Oeko-Tex certified organic cotton.
- Liv is invisible under clothing. Together with the Gaby period underwear, our seamless and invisible period panties, there are no lines under your clothes, no marks on your butt, and you’re wearing a washable, reusable, heavy-flow period product that no one will ever notice.
- Liv is ultra absorbent. Just as effective as our flagship model, the Clara menstrual underwear, Liv, the black menstrual underwear, can hold up to 60 ml of blood without leaking. It’s also recommended for light urinary leaks and incontinence.
With Liv, you stay dry, calm, and stress-free. You can fully take care of your baby, look after yourself, and forget about your bleeding. You get to enjoy your new life as a mom, your maternity, and your womanhood.
Also know that the Liv absorbent underwear is available in sizes XXS to XXXL so as many new moms as possible can benefit. The unit price for Liv menstrual underwear is €32.90. To save money, you can create your own custom pack of different period panties. The more you add to your cart, the more you save on each pair. With 5 pairs in your cart, you get one free pair, so don’t wait! The discount is applied automatically, so you don’t have to do anything.
