THE MOST COMMON QUESTIONS
-
How do period pants work?Period pants, also known as menstrual underwear or period underwear, work by combining multiple layers of specialised fabric to absorb menstrual fluid and prevent leaks. Here's how they typically work: Absorbent Layers: Period pants feature multiple layers of absorbent fabric, often made from a blend of natural and synthetic materials such as cotton, bamboo, and microfiber. These layers are designed to quickly absorb menstrual fluid and wick moisture away from the skin, keeping you feeling dry and comfortable. Leak-Proof Barrier: In addition to absorbent layers, period pants have a leak-proof barrier, usually made from waterproof or water-resistant material such as polyurethane laminate (PUL) or TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane). This barrier prevents menstrual fluid from leaking out of the underwear and staining your clothes. Breathable and Odor-Neutralizing: Many period pants are designed with breathable fabrics to prevent moisture buildup and promote airflow, reducing the risk of odor. Some also feature antimicrobial properties to inhibit the growth of bacteria and keep you feeling fresh throughout the day. Washable and Reusable: Unlike disposable pads and tampons, period pants are washable and reusable, making them a more eco-friendly and cost-effective option. After wearing, simply rinse the pants in cold water to remove excess blood, then wash them with your regular laundry using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can reduce the absorbency of the fabric. Different Absorbency Levels: Period pants come in various absorbency levels to suit different flow levels and preferences. Some styles are designed for light flow days, while others offer maximum absorbency for heavy flow or overnight use. Choose the absorbency level that best matches your menstrual flow to ensure optimal protection and comfort.
-
Will the pants retain a wet sensation?Initially, you may experience some dampness when blood comes into contact with the pant. However, this sensation is brief. The wicking layers in the gusset quickly absorb the moisture, ensuring you feel dry.
-
Do period pants need to be tight?We advise against wearing period pants too snugly, as this may lead to leaks at the sides. For optimal performance, we recommend selecting your usual underwear size. To ensure the perfect fit, please consult our sizing charts, as sizes may vary.
-
Do period pants smell? How do period pants work?Period pants are designed with features to minimise odor, such as breathable fabrics and antimicrobial properties. However, like any menstrual product, they may develop a slight odor over time if not washed regularly. Proper care, including prompt washing after each use and following the manufacturer's care instructions, can help minimise any potential odor.
-
How hygienic are period pants?Period pants are designed to be hygienic when used and cared for properly. They are made with absorbent materials that quickly wick away moisture and prevent leaks, helping to keep you feeling clean and comfortable during your period. Additionally, many period pants feature antimicrobial properties to inhibit the growth of bacteria and minimise odor. To ensure optimal hygiene: Change the period pants regularly, as you would with disposable pads or tampons. Rinse the pants in cold water after each use to remove excess blood. Wash them with your regular laundry using a mild detergent and follow the manufacturer's care instructions. Avoid leaving soiled period pants sitting for too long to prevent staining and maintain their absorbency. Rotate between multiple pairs of period pants to ensure you always have a clean pair available. By following these practices, period pants can be a hygienic and convenient option for managing your period.
