By choosing sustainable menstrual underwear, you are not only opting for comfort and peace of mind, but you are also making a conscious choice in favor of the environment. This sustainable menstrual product is an eco-friendly alternative to disposable tampons and pads. But what is its actual impact? What materials are used? And is it really reusable as an alternative to tampons or sanitary pads? We are happy to explain everything to you.
Waste and material reduction
One of the main advantages of menstrual underwear is waste reduction. Over the course of her life, a woman uses an average of around 15,000 disposable menstrual products. This figure can even reach 20,000 if panty liners are also used outside of menstruation periods. According to some studies, this represents between 150 and 200 kg of waste per woman, from tampons, sanitary pads, and applicators. By choosing reusable period underwear—a sustainable menstrual product par excellence—it is possible to significantly reduce this amount of waste: less plastic and less packaging in the long term.
Materials used
High-quality menstrual underwear is made from several absorbent, breathable, and leak-proof layers. Materials such as organic cotton, bamboo, or recycled synthetic fibers are typically used, combined with a waterproof PUL layer.
This composition makes the product both comfortable and environmentally friendly. Thanks to the use of high-quality materials, the product is reusable and remains effective wash after wash—exactly what you would expect from a reliable eco-friendly alternative.
Sustainable use & FAQ
By replacing disposable products with period panties, you can save between 100 and 150 kg of waste over the course of your lifetime. Menstrual underwear is OEKO-TEX certified, completely PFAS-free, and contains no metals. It also complies with European CE marking and is regulated by the MDR (Medical Device Regulation). This means that the product is safe for everyday use, tested for harmful substances, and complies with the strictest health standards.
Can they be used in combination with traditional products? Yes, absolutely. In case of very heavy flow, it is possible to wear period panties in combination with a menstrual cup or other protection. However, this reusable menstrual product is designed as a standalone alternative.
In short, choosing menstrual underwear means choosing comfort, safety, and a positive impact—good for your body and good for our planet.
