1. Suction strength

Heavy menstruators often complain that period panties are not suitable for everyone because they cannot absorb as much liquid as desired.
With an absorbency of up to 2 tampons or a two-layer pad between the legs, absolutely clear.
wetlands? Is there somewhere else. Our Stay Dry Layer technology absorbs liquid at lightning speed, so you stay dry. Depending on the model , even up to 6 full normal tampons . The Stay Dry Layer Technology in menstrual underwear, developed by experts, has 4 layers with optimal absorbency and remains breathable. The super absorbency of period underwear works thanks to innovative technology. A smart absorbing layer is incorporated into the crotch of the period panty. Two layers ensure that liquid is quickly absorbed on the one hand and firmly enclosed on the other. It is worked into the panty so flat that it is hardly noticeable. Super comfy wearing comfort guaranteed, no trace of diaper feeling.
The Period Panty Extra Strong is our most absorbent menstrual underwear and stays tight even on days with heavy menstrual bleeding. It absorbs the liquid from up to 6 tampons and is made of soft organic cotton. In this way, it ensures a comfortable and pleasantly dry feeling even with heavy bleeding .

3. Care and antibacterial finish
The gusset or insert in our new period panties now does not contain any biocides. We have improved the insert so that it can be washed at 60 degrees and we therefore no longer need an antibacterial finish. The outer material is also washable at 60 degrees. In addition, the entire gusset is made from recycled and biodegradable materials .
So that your Schlüppi can protect you for as long as possible, you should wash them on a gentle cycle and/or in a laundry net. Our panties are also Oekotex certified, vegan, cruelty-free and made from organic cotton .

4. Wear time
First of all: We are all different and it is difficult to generalize when it comes to periods. The length of time you wear period underwear therefore depends very much on your menstrual cycle. Just like with tampons or pads, how long your period panty lasts is individual.
At The Female Company you will find period underwear with different absorbency levels, which can absorb up to approx. 6 "normal" tampons. Depending on the absorbency and amount of liquid, you can wear your period underwear until your panty is full - but you should change it after 10 hours at the latest.
Still better than having to run to the office bathroom after 2 or 4 hours to change your panties, right?! This is the information given by many other panty suppliers.
5. Volume Discount
We are already aware that period underwear requires a deeper reach into the wallet than conventional tampons. And that, in addition to personal preference, it is very important who can afford to buy panties for the first time.
