Why is period underwear the best choice for teens?

A teen’s first period often signals big changes. Hormones, acne, puberty—the body changes so quickly! New periods, which are often irregular and sometimes painful, can be surprising and confusing. That’s why a reliable, practical, and easy-to-use period product that reassures teens is so important.

Period underwear seems to have nothing but advantages: eco-friendly, organic, washable, reusable, durable, reliable, and not to mention cute—Louloucup shows you all the reasons to choose period underwear for your teen!

Which period protection should you choose for your teen?

Before we go any further, let’s do a quick comparison. Let’s weigh the pros and cons of the main period protection options for teens.

Disposable sanitary tampon

Tampons dominated for a very long time. Essential for swimming, they were convenient and fairly easy for teens to use, especially with an applicator. Today, concerns about tampon ingredients have made them less popular and less obvious as a choice.

The clear advantage is the price. However, keep in mind that the cost of one box should be multiplied by the number of cycles per year (about 13), and the total adds up quickly!

There are many drawbacks. The composition of tampons was kept secret for a long time. We’ve discovered chlorine, pesticides, and many substances harmful to your health. Repeated tampon use also has negative effects on intimate health, causing dryness and irritation of the vagina. Finally, leaving a tampon in too long can be dangerous: risk of TSS (toxic shock syndrome).

Disposable sanitary pads

The main advantage of disposable sanitary pads is their immediate price. But just like with tampons, this argument has its limits.

On the downside, sanitary pads are polluting. They’re made of plastics and petroleum derivatives that can’t be recycled. They also generate unpleasant odors and can become saturated quickly. Finally, pads can shift and cause leaks. In short, they’re neither reliable nor convenient.

The menstrual cup

This internal protection has revolutionized hygiene solutions. The biggest downside is probably that using it may not be easy at first for all teens who aren’t comfortable with their bodies.

There are many positives, though. The menstrual cup is long-lasting, cost-effective, hygienic, and super convenient. It’s especially suitable for young girls and women with a heavy flow. The cup is great for swimming. Just remember, it’s an internal protection and shouldn’t be worn for more than 6 hours at a time.

The period panty

The only downside to period underwear is the price, which can be discouraging at first. However, it’s important to know that the cost is quickly offset. Well-cared-for period underwear can last for several years (on average, 5 years).

Period underwear checks all the boxes for our teens. Super practical, it adapts to any flow—there are options for light, medium, heavy, very heavy, and even hemorrhagic flow. It’s durable, creates zero waste, is eco-friendly and washable—it really has it all! Plus, brands are making a huge effort to offer fun, cute, stylish, and feminine designs, so why not give them a try?

Period panties: the best protection for your teen

Three reasons that make a difference and will delight your teens!

The invisible period underwear

Teenagers love period underwear because it’s invisible. No one can tell that your teen is wearing absorbent underwear under their jeans, keeping them protected all day! For nighttime, heavy flow period panties are perfect for a dry, stain-free night—pure bliss!

Healthy, clean period underwear

Choose period panties lined with OCS-certified organic cotton for extra softness and, more importantly, to ensure a healthy material in contact with your intimate areas. Given the harmful ingredients in tampons, it’s best to use safe, certified protection that poses no health risks, with Standard 100 by Oeko-Tex certification.

Period underwear is comfortable.

Easy to use and comfortable, period panties are popular with girls of all ages. Whether you’re just starting your period, in middle school, high school, or college—12, 14, or 16—period panties are so comfy and practical that every girl and every age group can wear them with ease!
