For many women, switching to menstrual panties is a big step.
We are often conditioned for years to use the same protections: tampons, sanitary pads, panty liners. It’s what we know, so it remains reassuring — even if it’s not always ideal. However, more and more women are discovering that menstrual panties can be a real game changer. Once you experience the benefits, you don’t want to go back.
How to start with menstrual panties?
A common question among beginners is: where to start? The key is to take it slow. Preferably use your first menstrual panty on a day when you’re at home. This allows you to calmly discover how it feels and how long you can wear it.
Many women are surprised: you barely feel that you have your period. No feeling of dampness, no odor, no need to constantly “check.”
To start, it’s recommended to choose a basic model with high absorbency. This builds confidence and gives you time to get used to it. You can wear menstrual panties anywhere: at work, while exercising, walking, or simply at home. They are worn like regular underwear and naturally follow your movements — without any discomfort.
Which panty to choose and how many do you need?
What size should you choose?
It’s simple: choose the same size as your usual underwear. Menstrual panties are designed to be comfortable, without squeezing.
How many panties are necessary?
For most women, a basic kit of about five menstrual panties and two boxers is enough to comfortably get through a full cycle. This allows you to alternate between day and night, while having time to wash the panties between uses.
Many beginners start with a few pieces, then add to their collection over time once they know what suits them best.
