🩵 Find the perfect period swimsuit: styles and tips for every teen
One-piece or bikini bottoms? Menstrual swimwear comes in a variety of styles!
One-piece swimsuit or bikini bottoms: which style suits your mood?
Choosing between a one-piece swimsuit or bikini bottoms depends on your activities and personal preferences.
The one-piece swimsuit is perfect for swimming or water sports thanks to its excellent support. It helps hold in your belly, which can feel bloated during your period, and can also be worn as a bodysuit under a beach dress or sarong. In short, it’s a must-have piece!
The period swim bottom is more versatile. You can pair it with any top for a personalized, mix-and-match look at the beach or pool.
Styles vary: classic briefs prioritize comfort, mid-thigh shorties are great for water activities, and high-waisted options offer shaping support.
Choose a style based on your preferences, your activities, and your body shape. Also, keep in mind that textured fabrics (like jacquard or honeycomb) help conceal the absorbent area, ensuring discretion.
And one last tip: colors (black, prints) suit every personality. For athletes, a one-piece is a must; for lounging, a two-piece combines practicality and style.
Choosing the right size and absorbency level: the keys to effectiveness
A good fit prevents leaks: a swimsuit that's too loose is ineffective, one that's too tight will chafe. Check the size guide, measuring your waist and hips before checking out. Adjustable systems (ties, straps) are also great for getting the right fit.
Absorption is equivalent to 2–3 tampons. For heavier days, pair it with a cup. Heavy flows require extra protection to prevent leaks. Swimming is limited to 2–3 hours max, depending on the style.
Proper care extends its lifespan (5 to 10 years): rinse with cold water after use, wash at a maximum of 30°C, and avoid the dryer. The technologies (waterproof layer, leak-proof barriers) ensure total protection. Reusable, this swimsuit is eco-friendly and cost-effective. Its discreet design boosts the confidence of teen girls, which is essential for their first aquatic experiences.
"Awesome, my daughter was able to swim during her period with no leaks at all."
🩵 How does it work? The complete usage and care guide
Absorption on the inside, leak-proofing on the outside? How does period swimwear work? And how do you use it? Here’s some info and tips for wearing, caring for, cleaning, and storing it.
At the core: absorbent and waterproof technology
The menstrual swimsuit features three technical layers for optimal effectiveness.
The first layer, made of breathable fabric (75% polyamide, 25% elastane), wicks blood toward the absorbent layer. This OEKO-TEX® certified material ensures maximum softness and quick moisture wicking, preventing any damp feeling.
The second layer, made of polyester and polyurethane, holds the equivalent of 2 to 3 tampons thanks to its micro-perforated structure that filters and locks in blood. Its antibacterial properties help prevent odors—a major benefit for teens.
The third layer, waterproof yet breathable, acts as a leak-proof barrier. Made from polyurethane, it blocks leaks in water while wicking away body moisture. The outer fabric is resistant to chlorine and sunscreen oils and provides UV 50+ protection.
No swelling in water, for discreet and comfortable wear. Its triple-security design allows for extended use without changing its outward appearance, making it indistinguishable from a regular swimsuit.
How to wear your period swimsuit with confidence
Easy to put on, the swimsuit is used just like a regular one. For light to moderate flow, wear it alone for up to 6 hours or pair it with a cup/tampon for extra protection. Its ergonomic design (high-waisted, racerback) fits all body types, with leak-proof barriers at the thighs for added security.
After swimming, it stays comfortable on the towel.
Washing and caring for your swimwear: simple steps to make it last
To keep it effective, follow these steps:
- Rinse with cold water: Squeeze it until the water runs clear to prevent the blood from setting in. A quick rinse prevents stains and preserves the fibers.
- Wash at a maximum of 30°C (86°F): By hand or in the machine (use a laundry bag), with a mild, non-greasy soap. Avoid products containing glycerin, as they clog the absorbent pores.
- Avoid fabric softeners and hot water: They damage the waterproof membrane and reduce absorbency. Replace them with white vinegar, which is both budget-friendly and eco-friendly.
- Air dry: Avoid tumble dryers and radiators to preserve the materials. Flat drying helps maintain the elasticity of the seams.
Proper care extends its lifespan to 2-3 years (about 100 washes). Store it dry to prevent bacteria. For detailed tips, check out our guide to caring for your period swimwear. Following these steps ensures performance and hygiene. Reusable, it reduces waste and saves money in the long run: an eco-friendly and economical alternative to disposables.

FAQ: Teen menstrual swimwear
Are menstrual swimwear really effective?
Yes, period swimwear is designed with innovative technology for reliable protection. They feature three layers: a draining layer to keep blood away from the skin, an absorbent layer (equivalent to 2 to 3 tampons), and a waterproof membrane that prevents leaks. Materials like bamboo or organic cotton are Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified to ensure they’re free from harmful substances. Their effectiveness has been validated by rigorous testing, allowing you to swim with total confidence.
Do menstrual swimsuits for teens provide optimal protection?
Absolutely! Teen models combine safety and comfort. Their discreet design and absorption capacity—perfect for light to medium flows—make them ideal for occasional swimming or short water activities. Thanks to their breathable, waterproof membrane, they provide a reliable barrier against leaks, while their slim profile avoids that "diaper" feel. Teens feel confident—and so do parents!
Is it possible to swim in period swimwear?
Yes, that’s actually its main use! Unlike tampons, menstrual swimwear doesn’t retain water, eliminating the risk of toxic shock syndrome (TSS). Its outer layer resists chlorine and salt water, while its absorption system remains effective. You can swim, play, or take a swimming class without interruption.
Can you wear period underwear in the pool?
Standard period underwear isn’t suitable for swimming, as their absorbency is limited and water reduces their effectiveness. On the other hand, period swimwear, like those from Louloucup, are specially designed for water activities. Their multilayer structure and waterproof outer fabric ensure optimal leak protection, even when diving. Note: For heavy flow, it’s best to use it alongside a cup for maximum security.
Can blood leak through a period swimsuit?
No, thanks to its triple barrier technology. The inner layer holds the flow with absorbent fibers (bamboo, organic cotton), while the outer membrane prevents any leaks. Reinforced seams and fitted edges also stop side leaks. If you’re unsure about its effectiveness, try it at home first to get used to how it works.
What are the best period swimsuits for teens?
The Louloucup collection stands out for its quality and eco-friendly commitment. The Noa one-piece swimsuit, for example, combines elegant style and enhanced absorbency, making it ideal for swimming. The organic cotton bikini bottoms offer flexibility and discretion for beach days. All our models are Oeko-Tex certified, free from PFAS and endocrine disruptors, and designed to last up to 5 years with proper care.
