Period underwear refers to panties, generally underwear, with an integrated absorbent layer that collects and securely contains blood during menstruation. The breathable absorbent layer by The Female Company with Stay Dry Layer Technology rapidly absorbs liquid, channels it to the core, and is then captured in an antibacterial and absorbent layer.

In addition to leak protection, comfort and style should not be overlooked in underwear designed specifically for menstruation, so that the panties don't feel much different from your favorite everyday panties.

You can wear period panties either on their own or in combination with other period products like the menstrual cup or organic tampons.

The super absorbent power of period underwear works thanks to innovative technology. A smart absorbent layer is integrated into the crotch of the period panty. Two layers ensure that liquid is absorbed quickly and securely contained. This so-called Stay Dry Layer Technology ensures dry days. It is so discreetly integrated into the panty that it's hardly noticeable. Super comfy wearing experience guaranteed.

First of all: We ware all different and when it comes to our period it's difficult to generalize. The wearing time of period underwear highly depends on your menstruation. Just like with tampons or pads, it's individual how long your period panty lasts.

Can I wear period underwear for the whole day?
At The Female Company you can find period underwear with different absorbencies that can absorb up to ca. 6 regular tampons. Depending on the absorbency level and the amount of liquid, you can wear your period underwear until it's full – but you should change it after a maximum of 10 hours.

You'll notice this relatively quickly: You should change your period panty as soon as it feels damp at the edges. Pro tip, if you're unsure: press a piece of toilet paper against the absorbent layer and check if any liquid is transferred or if it stays clean.

The Period Panty Extra Strong is our most absorbent menstrual underwear and stays leak-proof even on heavy flow days. It can absorb the liquid equivalent of up to 6 tampons and is made from soft organic cotton. This ensures a comfortable and pleasantly dry wearing sensation even on heavy flow days.

You can easily wash and reuse your period underwear:

• Rinse in cold water
• toss it with similarly colored clothes into the washing machine at 40 degrees.
• After washing let the Period Panty air dry.

Extra tipps:
❤️ Period panties love delicate fabric detergent and special treatment in a laundry bag.
❌ Please make sure not to use aggressive detergent, so stay away from heavy-duty detergents. What they also don't like: dryer, bleach, and fabric softener.
If you pay attention to these little things, you can enjoy the benefits of your underwear for a long time.

How many panties you need especially depends on four factors:

• How many days does your period last?
• Do you want to combine the panties with other products?
• Do you want to wear your panties at daytime and at night or only one of the two?
• How heavy is your flow?

At The Female Company you can find period underwear in many different colors, styles and sizes. We have period underwear that fits every butt in sizes 32 to 56. The period panties also fit teenagers. To make it easier for you to choose, there is a size chart available on each product page in the size selection section. Here, size measurements are provided for adults as well as a size chart for teenagers.

OH YES! In case of heavy bleeding you can easily at daytime combine your period underwear with our wonderful, blood-red Menstrual Cup or our CO2-neutrally produced organic tampons . This way you benefit from a double leak protection model. 😉 At night, you can wear your period underwear on its own because it's taboo to leave the organic tampon in overnight!

Don't panic: If you end up in the water with the period panty at the next pool party, the membrane won't be damaged. However, the period panty is not a replacement for bikini bottoms because the blood in the water would eventually wash out of the absorbent layer, just like in your washing machine.

Variety is the spice of life - we offer period panties in different models and shapes so that there's a suitable pair for every occasion. All period panty models are made from organic cotton:

• Brief - the comfortable classic with a traditional fit, low waist height, and a medium-high leg cut.
• Brief 2.0Classic cut of comfortable panties in the new waistband style - with 'I hope your day is as nice as your butt' embossing on the waistband.
• High Waist: It doesn't get more comfortable - period panty with an elastic, extra high-cut waistband.
• High Waist 2.0: Period panty with an elastic, extra high-cut waistband and embossing on the waistband.
• Hipster: Sits a bit lower on the hip with longer leg openings, fully covering the butt for 100% feel-good vibes during your period.
• Brazilian: Period panty in the new Brazilian fit. A bit cheekier on the bum, a high leg cut, and added extra protection sewn in.
• Extra Strong: Cut like a classic brief, but extra absorbent for heavy days, without the diaper-like feeling.

The Period Panty offers you the same benefits as pads and free bleeding WITHOUT the fear of a red pair of panties or red pants. Thanks to the soft organic cotton, the panties provide very high wearing comfort, WITHOUT any pinching feeling. The period panties can hold the blood of up to three pads - the Extra Strong panties can even hold the amount of up to 6 tampons - and give you the best possible comfort during your period. On top of that, the underwear keeps you dry and provides you with secure leak protection. Since no waste is generated, period underwear is a sustainable solution for those special days and can also be combined with other period products as needed.
