Our period panties can absorb any kind of fluid, making them suitable for various purposes such as managing discharge or for postpartum use. Period underwear can be used by individuals of all age groups, including teens and those who have reached menopause.

The super absorbent power of period underwear is made possible by innovative technology. The crotch area of the period panty incorporates a smart absorption layer with 4 layers:

1. Stay Dry Layer: It rapidly absorbs liquid and dries within seconds.
2. Ultra-absorbent Layer: It stores the fluid and securely locks it in.
3. Waterproof Membrane: It ensures zero leakage, even during extended wear.
4. Soft Upper Fabric: The panty is made with super soft fabric for an extra comfortable feeling!

These layers are seamlessly integrated into the panty, making them barely noticeable and only max. 1mm thicker than your regular underwear.

Variety is key – we offer period panties in different models and shapes, so there's a suitable pair for every occasion. All our period panty models are non-toxic.

The Absorbency Levels

1. Medium: Absorb ca. 3 ml of liquid, which is comparable to the capacity of 1/2 tampon. These panties are suitable for lighter days or discharge.
2. Strong: Absorb ca. 9-12 ml of liquid, which is comparable to the capacity of 1-2 tampons. These panties are suitable for normal menstrual bleeding.
3. Extra Strong: Absorb up to 15 ml of liquid, which is comparable to the capacity of 2-3 tampons. These panties are, thus, also suitable for stronger menstrual bleeding.
4. Ultra Strong: Absorb up to 24 ml of liquid, which is comparable to the capacity of 3-5 tampons. These panties are our sucking superstars and can be used for heavy bleeding.

You can easily wash and reuse your period underwear:

1. Rinse it with cold water by hand to dissolve the blood.
2. Put the underwear in the washing machine with similarly colored laundry at 40-60 degrees Celsius (depending on the model). Always check the label for specific instructions.
3. After washing, allow the period underwear to air dry.

We are all different, and when it comes to our periods, it's difficult to generalize. The duration of wearing period underwear depends greatly on the intensity of your menstruation. As with tampons or pads – how long your period panties last is individual.

At The Female Company, you will find period underwear with different absorption capacities that are suitable for different strengths of menstrual bleeding or discharge. Depending on the absorption capacity and the amount of fluid, you can wear your period underwear until it's full – but you should ideally change it within 12 hours.

OH YES! For heavier or gush-like bleeding, you can easily combine your period underwear during the day with our beautiful blood-red menstrual cup or our CO2-neutral produced organic tampons. This way, you benefit from double protection.

Note for tampon users: During the night, you can simply wear your period underwear on its own. Don't leave a tampon in overnight!

You will notice it relatively quickly: You should change your period panty as soon as it feels moist at the edges.

Here's a pro tip if you're unsure: Press a piece of toilet paper against the absorbent layer and check if any liquid transfers or if it stays clean.
