WHAT IS PERIOD UNDERWEAR?

Period pants or menstrual underwear refers to normal knickers with a built-in absorbent liner. This consists of multiple layers and provides protection against leakage and unpleasant odours while you are on your period. Period knickers are worn just like normal ones and they don’t look any different from conventional underwear.Depending how heavy your flow is, period pants can provide up to 12 hours of leakage protection. For additional protection you can wear them while using a menstrual cup or disposable products.

THE ADVANTAGES OF PERIOD UNDERWEAR

Switching to sustainable period underwear has many advantages. Compared to tampons or pads, they are much better for the environment and you not only reduce waste, but also save money in the long term. And there are even more benefits associated with our period underwear! Here they all are at a glance: 

  • Security. Our period underwear features a special technology that absorbs and retains liquid without leaking. This leaves you feeling dry and confident all day long. 
  • Comfort. Our period underwear is very comfortable and feels just like normal underwear. Awkward pads and uncomfortable tampons are a thing of the past! 
  • Style. No one ever said you can’t look stylish while you’re on your period! Our range of period knickers comes in various styles, sizes and colours, allowing you to feel secure and beautiful. 
  • Environmentally friendly. Unlike disposable products, our period knickers are washable and reusable. That means that with every purchase you make, you are contributing to reducing waste. 
  • Cost effective. Although the initial outlay for our period underwear is higher than the cost of conventional menstruation products, in the long term you end up saving money as you can reuse the garments again and again. 
  • Versatility. Our period underwear is designed for all activities. Whether you’re relaxing at home, going to work or exercising – our underwear provides you with comfort and protection all day long.

HOW DOES PERIOD UNDERWEAR ACTUALLY WORK?

Our period knickers feature a special technology that absorbs and retains liquid without leaking. You’ll stay dry and will feel secure no matter what you’re doing, be it working, meeting up with friends or practising yoga. It’s all thanks to SELENAtec® multi-layer technology, which consists of: 

Layer 1: Liquid is quickly and reliably wicked away. 

Layer 2: Liquid is reliably absorbed to keep you feeling dry. 

Layer 3: Breathable, leak-proof protective membrane for extra protection and wearing comfort. 

Layer 4: This skin-friendly fabric ensures that the underwear is as comfortable to wear as normal knickers. 

Despite these four layers, the material is very thin – less than 4 millimetres to be precise. Rest assured: our period knickers are as comfortable to wear as normal underwear.

UP TO 12 HOURS LEAKAGE PROTECTION WITH OUR PERIOD UNDERWEAR

Depending on the model, our period underwear can absorb up to 35 ml of liquid. The average person loses between 30 and 60 ml of blood every day during their period. Therefore, on medium and light-flow days, the underwear is practically all you need for the whole day. How often you change your period underwear depends on how heavy your flow is. On heavy days, or when you cannot change the underwear after 12 hours, we recommend also using a menstrual cup or single-use products.

WASHING & LOOKING AFTER YOUR PERIOD UNDERWEAR (QUICK GUIDE)

The advantage of our sustainable period underwear is that you can wash them just like normal underwear. Here’s how: 

  • After wearing, rinse in cold water and add to a darks load. 
  • Wash at 30 to 40 degrees 
  • Leave to air dry 

After use, rinse the period pants under cold running water. Then you can machine wash them with other dark garments. Washing at 30 degrees is perfectly sufficient; we also tested washing the underwear at 60 degrees and there were no ill effects. However, by washing at low temperatures, you help protect the environment. Do not use any bleach or fabric softener and leave the underwear to air dry after washing.

The most frequent questions

  • HOW OFTEN SHOULD I CHANGE MY PERIOD UNDERWEAR?
    It all depends on how heavy your flow is and, of course, on the product itself. On days when your flow is quite light, you can wear the underwear for up to 12 hours. On heavier days you should change your period pants more regularly or use them in conjunction with additional products such as pads, tampons or a menstrual cup.
  • HOW MANY PAIRS OF PERIOD KNICKERS DO I NEED?
    On average you’ll need 1–3 pairs of period knickers per day, depending on how heavy your flow is. If you wash them multiple times a week, you should be fine with 4–5 pairs of menstruation pants. If you want to keep things a little less stressful, 6–8 pairs will get you through your period without the need to keep on top of the washing. The number of period knickers you’ll need depends on how often you do laundry!
  • MENSTRUAL UNDERWEAR OR MENSTRUAL CUP?
    Both work great! But being absolutely honest, having to empty the cup or change pads or tampons during the night is a pain! That’s why period underwear is the perfect alternative. Say goodbye to nightly leakage! No matter how much you toss and turn at night, our period underwear stays put and will not leak.
  • WHERE CAN I BUY PERIOD UNDERWEAR?
    You can buy our period underwear right here on our website or in stores.
  • IS SELENACARE PERIOD UNDERWEAR SUITABLE FOR ALL ACTIVITIES?
    Yes, no matter if you’re relaxing at home, going to work or exercising – our underwear provides you with comfort and protection all day long.
