1. How often do I have to change my period underwear?
Depending on how heavy your period is and whether you combine the panty with other products (e.g. organic tampons or the cup), you may need to change it more or less often. It's best to check how absorbent your period underwear is every time you go to the toilet. Simply feel it with your finger or do a moisture check with toilet paper .
2. Our new Flexi Technology
We are constantly trying to improve ourselves and our panties and adapt them to your needs. Our brand new Flexi Technology offers 90% improved absorbency and is an incredible 60% more absorbent than comparable seamless panties on the market. Tested and certified by the renowned Hohenstein Institute, Flexi Technology is the first European panty technology with a floating absorbent insert that adapts to your body and absorbs the blood exactly where it flows. With our innovative Fluid Protection seam processing, side leakage is a thing of the past.
In the shop you can now see our droplet system - 3 drops are the strong panties, 4 drops are the ones that are particularly absorbent.
And the best part: Our products are non-toxic, free of biocides and harmful substances, guaranteed, tested and certified! We use recycled polyester and are only 1 mm thicker than your usual underwear. In the future , all new panties that come out will be improved with exactly this technology. You can see which panties you can already order with Flexi Technology on the product pages . Welcome to a new era of period underwear!
3. How many panties do I need?
How often you need to change your period underwear depends on the intensity of your bleeding and whether you combine it with other products. It's best to check every now and then how absorbent the absorbing layer still is.
Our customers who bleed normally to moderately change their panties an average of 4 to 5 times per period . Depending on how regularly your period comes, you can of course wear a period panty as a backup before your bleeding starts. Or invest in an extra strong pair for the first few days of your period. Maybe try one pair of panties and then see if you can put together your perfect panty ensemble .
4. Wash period underwear
In principle, you can wash your period underwear at 40 degrees together with the rest of your clothes. Our new panties are biocide-free and can even be washed at 60 degrees . However, to ensure that your panties protect you for as long as possible, you should wash them on a gentle cycle and/or in a laundry net .
Very important: You should rinse your period underwear by hand with cold water beforehand (tip to avoid blood stains!). You can then either air dry it or throw it straight into the washing machine.
No Go's: fabric softener and bleach, as well as the use of dryers and irons!
5. Period underwear lovers take note
Did you know : Wet panties before your period are not uncommon! Many women are affected by this. Find out what is normal and when you need to see a gynecologisthere .
Something as ingenious as period underwear is now also available for the rest of the month when we don't menstruate -
To protect your hot panties (whether yellow, greenish, white or brown discharge) or just to feel safe - organic panty liners are the thing! Every day. Is that healthy? No! It is not recommended to use panty liners every day. If the panty liners are not changed every 3-5 hours, they can quickly create an environment for bacteria and viruses. This does not happen with breathable discharge underwear! Daysics® with their slightly absorbent insert are designed to prevent the feeling of wet crotch caused by natural discharge in everyday life. Your Daysics® have an extra short and thin insert - for an invisible look - and, unlike conventional panty liners, do not impair breathability. Try it out!
