Menstrual underwear, also known as absorbent underwear, is a new way to protect yourself during your period. No tampons, no sanitary pads, no waste—just comfortable underwear that absorbs everything. But how do period panties actually work? How much can they absorb, and how can you ensure they remain effective over time? It's time to take a closer look at the technology behind this absorbent underwear.
Unique absorbent layers for reliable protection
Menstrual underwear looks like regular underwear, but it's made up of several smart layers that work together to keep you dry, fresh, and secure.
The top layer is soft and breathable. It quickly wicks moisture away to the second absorbent layer. This top layer is made from a quick-drying fabric that dries after absorption, preventing that damp feeling throughout the day.
Underneath is the absorbent core, which securely retains blood without feeling heavy. The third layer is the PUL layer, which is completely waterproof, preventing leaks and protecting your clothes—even on a busy day or during sports.
The fourth layer, the outer layer, is made from hypoallergenic fabrics to prevent irritation, even for women with sensitive skin.
Many women wonder: how much blood can period panties absorb? It depends on the model, but on average, they absorb the equivalent of 4 to 5 tampons. Can they leak? Only when they are saturated and not changed in time. With a normal flow, you can wear them for up to 10 hours without any worries—ideal for a day at school or work.
It is also suitable for heavy periods: this sustainable menstrual product can be worn as primary protection or combined with a tampon or menstrual cup for extra security.
Maintenance and durability
After use, rinse the panties in cold water to remove any blood residue. Then wash them in the washing machine at a low temperature with a mild detergent. Leave them to air dry—avoid tumble drying and fabric softener, as these can reduce their absorbency.
Thanks to its durable materials and reusable nature, menstrual underwear can be used for many years. It is therefore a comfortable, hygienic, and environmentally friendly solution. Everything you need to get through each cycle with confidence and peace of mind, time and time again.
