Why Choose Period Underwear?

A Sustainable Choice

Fun fact: Around 7 billion tampons and 12 billion pads end up in landfill each year. The average person with a period contributes 11,000 single-use products in their lifetime. That’s a lot of waste, and a lot of money spent!

Period underwear is a cost-effective, reusable, and long-lasting solution that’s better for your wallet and the planet.

Fighting Period Poverty

Have you heard of period poverty? It's the lack of access to menstrual products, hygiene facilities, and education due to financial or social barriers. It affects millions worldwide, leading to missed work or school, health issues, and unnecessary menstruation stigma.

With period products costing between $15-$45 per month, single-use options can be out of reach for many. Some people have no choice but to use toilet paper, old cloths, or even wash and reuse disposable pads or tampons.

Period underwear changes that. A single pair lasts years, providing a reliable, dignified alternative that helps reduce financial strain.

Healthier for Your Body

• Tampons can create an environment where bacteria thrive, increasing the risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS)—a rare but serious illness.

• Many disposable pads and tampons contain fragrances, dyes, and synthetic materials that can cause irritation or allergic reactions.

• Period underwear is made from soft, breathable fabrics, making it a gentler choice for sensitive skin.

Bonus: You can actually see and track your flow more clearly, helping you better understand your body and cycle. (Editor's note: This one truly blew me away when I started using period underwear! I'm now so much more aware of what's happening down there, which is a game changer as I head into perimenopause.) 

Comfort & Convenience

• No more panicked run to the shops or rummaging through handbags - period underwear is always ready.

• No shifting pads, escaped tampon strings, or rustling wrappers.

• Wear them day or night, at work, school, the gym, or out to drinks with the girls.

More Than Just Periods

• Ideal for postpartum bleeding, light bladder leaks, and spotting.

• Great as a backup for tampons or menstrual cups.

• Keeps you dry during sweaty workouts—period or not!
