Unlike traditional pads, our inserts can be reused as they are washable! Say "Goodbye" to the uncomfortable moments of changing and "Hello" to a feeling of absolute flexibility during your period! The SELENACARE Easy Comfort Period Set The SELENACARE Easy Comfort Period Set consists of two parts. The SELENACARE Easy Comfort Basic Panties are the core of our system and are equipped with the self-adhesive material in the crotch – a brilliant base for the SELENACARE Easy Comfort Inserts, the second part of the period set. Absorbent Easy Comfort Inserts with Wetbag The Easy Comfort Inserts are equipped with the specially developed self-adhesive material on one side and are ideally matched to the Basic Panties. This makes inserting them into the crotch area of the panties incredibly easy. Thanks to this self-adhesive property, the insert stays securely in place and does not slip, without relying on uncomfortable or annoying attachment methods. With various levels of absorbency, they are ready to accompany you in every phase of your period – from light to heavy, we've got you covered. Once the Easy Comfort Inserts are fully saturated, they can be easily removed from the Basic Panties and replaced with a new insert.

After use, you can wash the panties out with cold water, air dry them and reuse them. This makes them a convenient, sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to tampons and disposable pads. Not only do you reduce waste, but you also save money because of their long life.

Care instructions – so you enjoy it for a long time
To keep your menstrual swimwear hygienic, functional and absorbent, it needs gentle but simple care. You should wash it before first use to remove any production residues. After wearing, rinse it with cold water to release blood, chlorine or salt water. Then you can clean it at 30 to 40 °C in the washing machine – ideally in a laundry net. To dry, simply let it air dry. Avoid fabric softener, bleach or vinegar, as these can damage the technology in the crotch area and reduce absorbency.
Swimming despite your period: yes, it's possible.
Menstrual swimwear is more than a product – it gives you freedom of movement, security and a good feeling. You can decide for yourself how to shape your period. Entirely without disposable products, without stress – and entirely yourself. Whether you use it as a backup or as your main protection – what matters is that you feel comfortable and secure. Dare to care – in the water too.
