The criteria to consider when choosing the best period panties for you
To choose the period underwear style best suited to your needs, you need to follow a few key criteria. These will help you find the perfect model. Because every woman is different, every menstrual cycle is different, you need period panties tailored to you, your habits and your flow.
How do you choose period underwear? What criteria should you consider to choose the best period underwear? Louloucup is here today to help you find the perfect pair for you!
⦿ A clean, safe composition for your period panties
Users who choose washable and long-lasting period protection do so because they no longer want to use tampons or disposable pads with obscure and controversial compositions. They want products that are healthy and respectful of their bodies, their health and their intimacy. And that’s perfectly understandable!
When you opt for period panties, take the time to look closely at the composition of each one. What fabrics are used? Are natural materials prioritized? Are lab reports available? Is the brand transparent?
Louloucup has chosen transparency. On every product page, you’ll easily find the detailed composition of each panty. We clearly indicate the materials and their percentages, both inside and outside the panty. In addition, we have our panties tested by independent laboratories. The results are available on our website. That’s how we can proudly offer panties free from harmful substances and silver nanoparticles.
Good to know: at Louloucup, you’ll only find panties lined with certified organic cotton on the inside. Fabrics and materials vary by model. You’ll find, among others, nylon, organic bamboo, polyamide, elastane, plumetis, etc.
⦿ The absorbency capacity of the panty
Another very important factor when choosing the right pair of panties: the absorption capacity of the period underwear. You need to choose one or more styles that match your menstrual flow.
By choosing your panties according to the intensity of your flow, you avoid the risk of leaks, saturation and stains.
In general, panties, shorts, tangas and other styles vary in absorbency. Their capacity is equivalent to 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 tampons. Light flow, medium flow, heavy flow or hemorrhagic flow—there are many different period underwear options.
Good to know: at Louloucup, you can quickly find light-flow period panties, medium-flow period panties, heavy-flow period panties and very heavy-flow period panties to perfectly manage every type and intensity of flow!
⦿ Style and cut
While it may seem secondary to some, aesthetics is still a factor to consider. Today, we’re lucky enough to be able to choose from many very different panty styles. High‑waisted, low‑rise, with lacing, lace, plain black, striped prints, liberty prints, seamless or colourful—you name it!
With period panties, you can have your period and still feel pretty and sexy! It’s no longer impossible! You feel good and beautiful in underwear that enhances your curves! The cut of a panty matters. High‑waisted styles, for example, are perfect for hiding the little bloated tummy caused by menstruation.
Good to know: at Louloucup, many very different styles are available with a feminine and sexy look. So which one will you fall for? We’re especially fond of the Naomi period panty and the Margot high‑waisted lace period panty. Feminine, very elegant plain black styles.
⦿ The size of the period underwear
Size is obviously another important factor. Before ordering, check with the brand to see whether their products are “true to size”. Some styles tend to stretch out or shrink after a few wears. It’s good to know this to avoid any nasty surprises.
Good to know: at Louloucup, all our period panties are available from size XS to XL. We also offer a collection of **period panties for teenagers** with a selection of styles in **XXS**, as well as a collection of **plus-size period panties** with styles available in XXL, XXXL and XXXXL.
⦿ Your habits, daily life and lifestyle
Are you a sporty high-school student? An active woman? A seasoned traveler? An expectant or new mom? A woman in perimenopause? You can all find a style of underwear that meets your needs.
Your habits and lifestyle are key factors in choosing the right period underwear.
A sporty person who often wears tight sports leggings will love seamless, invisible period underwear. New moms in the middle of postpartum will be delighted with a very heavy-flow style to handle the intense bleeding after birth.
Travelers facing long hours on planes or trains will look for a model that’s above all comfortable. Fashion-lovers will go for lacy, feminine styles, maybe even a thong-style period underwear? This light cut flatters your curves. In short, what you do in your day influences the underwear you choose.
Good to know: Louloucup has thought of all women: active and less active, sporty, travelers, young and not-so-young, with styles that are sexy, comfortable, absorbent, modern and well cut.

⦿ Price
Finally, the last key factor: price. It obviously needs to be affordable! When you want made in France and organic cotton, it’s hard to keep prices low. Still, some brands are committed to offering the best value for money, with no compromise between price and quality.
To buy your period panties at the best price, look out for special offers, sales, promos and discount codes. Multipacks or bundles are also a great deal. They let you order several at once and get a significant discount.
Good to know: At Louloucup, period panties are available individually at €28.90. Putting together a bundle helps you save money: for a set of 5 panties, you save €30—you get one panty free!
And on top of that, shipping is always free with Louloucup, so go for it!
