By choosing sustainable period underwear, you are opting not only for comfort and peace of mind, but also making a conscious choice in favor of the environment. This sustainable menstrual product is an eco-friendly alternative to disposable tampons and sanitary 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.
Waste reduction and materials
One of the main benefits of period underwear is waste reduction. Over the course of her lifetime, 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 menstrual 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
Quality period underwear is made from several absorbent, breathable, and leak-proof layers. Materials such as organic cotton, bamboo, or recycled synthetic fibers are generally 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, its reusability is guaranteed, and the product retains its effectiveness wash after wash — exactly what is expected of a reliable eco-friendly alternative.
Sustainable use & FAQ
By replacing disposable products with period underwear, you can save between 100 and 150 kg of waste over the course of your lifetime. Period underwear is OEKO-TEX certified, completely PFAS-free, and contains no metal. It also complies with the European CE marking and is regulated by the MDR (Medical Device Regulation). This means that the product is safe for daily use, tested for harmful substances, and compliant with the strictest health standards.
Can it be combined with traditional products? Yes, absolutely. In the event of a very heavy flow, it is possible to wear period underwear in combination with a menstrual cup or another form of protection. However, this reusable menstrual product is designed as a complete alternative.
In summary, choosing period underwear means choosing comfort, safety, and a positive impact — good for your body and our planet.
