Voted best period panty 2025

Flow, size, material, style, cut, price, absorbency—several factors come into play when choosing the best period underwear. To help you, here are a few tips:

1. Choose your underwear based on your menstrual flow. At Louloucup, we categorize our period panties by absorbency level and menstrual flow: light, medium, or heavy flow.
2. Choose your underwear based on your preferences. Don’t forget who you are, your style, and your personality. Do you love lace? Are you a hopeless romantic who loves Liberty prints? Want to stay dry and feel sexy? Prefer the sleek, discreet feel of microfiber?
3. Choose your underwear based on your body shape. Our high-waisted period panties are great allies if you’re self-conscious about a bloated tummy. Our period thongs accentuate your curves.
4. Choose your underwear based on your activities and lifestyle. Are you a dedicated athlete, even during your period? Seamless period underwear will be your best friend for avoiding lines under tight leggings. Planning to wear period panties at night? Choose a style with extended coverage to prevent leaks.

At Louloucup, we recommend starting with 5 period panties. It’s a good start. The number of period panties you’ll need depends on your flow, the length of your period, and your personal needs. So, there’s no exact number—it really depends on you. Don’t forget that once a period panty is used, it should be rinsed and washed. It air dries and should not go in the dryer. Since the absorbent area is quite dense, it can take some time to dry.

The great news at Louloucup is that when you buy 5 period panties, you save €30—the equivalent of one panty! Order 5 period panties, get 1 free! The custom period panty pack with free shipping is a fantastic deal for every budget.

At Louloucup, we recommend sticking with your usual underwear size. If a style tends to run large or small, we mention it in the product description. Also, don’t hesitate to check out customer reviews before you buy. That can really help if you’re unsure. It’s important that your period underwear fits snugly so it doesn’t slip. Underwear that’s too big will be uncomfortable and impractical. Also, be aware that a bloated belly during your period can affect your waist size.

Of course! In fact, we have several models considered the most absorbent on the market. With an absorption capacity equal to more than 5 sanitary tampons, the Clara, Mathilde, Liv, and Jade models are perfect for very heavy or hemorrhagic periods. These styles have double, extended protection that goes up the front and back, making them ideal for postpartum bleeding or if you use a copper IUD. They’re also great for a dry night’s sleep without worrying about staining your sheets or pajamas. Our heavy flow period panties are so effective and absorbent, they’re perfect for postpartum use or even for light bladder leaks.

Buying period underwear can feel like an investment for many of us. But the math is simple: it’s an investment that pays off quickly and is totally worth it! Period panties can be worn and used for several years. Their average lifespan is 5 years. For 5 years, you won’t need to buy tampons, pads, or panty liners. You’ll save precious dollars every month. These absorbent and washable protections are also super helpful during pregnancy (both during and after) to manage spotting, lochia, and postpartum bleeding. Period underwear is also incredibly useful for managing anniversary periods, irregular cycles, various types of vaginal discharge, or even light bladder leaks!

Period panties are durable, washable, and eco-friendly sanitary protection. They produce absolutely no waste, unlike tampons and pads. They are excellent eco-friendly alternatives to sanitary pads, disposable tampons, and single-use panty liners that cannot be recycled. Single-use menstrual products generate a massive amount of waste every minute worldwide. On an individual level, switching to period underwear may seem small, but it’s a real, concrete action for the planet and the environment that truly matters! Choosing a period panty over a tampon each month is part of a zero-waste, eco-friendly approach that makes sense.

Absolutely. Period panties have the advantage of being very discreet. With this underwear, you can almost forget you have your period! You can move, walk, and be more active than with a tampon or pad. You don’t feel it. It doesn’t get in your way. You’re completely free to move however you want.

You can also work out with no problem. Our top pick for running or fitness? The Liv heavy flow period panty—no question! With its super absorbency (up to 60 ml of blood), Liv is highly reliable and absorbent. Black, ultra-thin, and seamless, it’s invisible under leggings or tight workout shorts. You’ll feel confident and can work out with zero discomfort or limits.

Yes, it can be enough, but it depends on your menstrual flow and its intensity, what stage of your period you’re at (are you at the beginning or end?), or if you use a copper IUD or another form of birth control. Several factors come into play. In any case, a period panty guarantees you several hours of peace of mind, at least six hours without any issues.

Do you have a light to medium menstrual flow that’s not too heavy and regular? You’ll no doubt be able to wear your favorite period panty all day without leaks.

Do you have a heavy menstrual flow with sometimes strong discharge? You’ll be able to wear your heavy flow period panty for most of the day without any problem. However, you might feel the need to change when you get home at the end of the day.

For hygiene reasons, no matter your flow, we recommend changing your period panty every twelve hours.

Yes, absolutely. Period underwear is a hygienic protection you can wear both day and night. Its softness, comfortable fit, and strong protection make it a top choice for peaceful sleep. Many women alternate between period underwear at night and a menstrual cup during the day.

 

A few tips for a peaceful, stain-free, and leak-free night:

 

1. At night, put on a pair of period underwear with a very wide protective area that goes high up both in the front and the back. That way, you can sleep on your back or stomach for hours without worry. The blood will flow in the same direction and be held back very effectively. We indicate the absorbent area in each product description.
2. Another tip: even if you have a medium flow, opt for heavy-flow period underwear at night when your period is heaviest. That way, you’re ready for anything. At the end of your cycle, you can switch to light or medium flow underwear.

No! Our period panties are healthy for both the planet and your body and health. All our panties are lined with organic cotton. This natural, organic material lets your intimate area breathe. Your vaginal flora is respected. All our fabrics are safe, non-toxic, free from harmful substances, and certified STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX.

Unlike single-use products, we make it a point to clearly share the composition of each of our panties. At Louloucup, there’s no glyphosate, no chlorine, and no petroleum-based products.

Washing and cleaning your period underwear is actually quite simple. Here are a few tips to help extend the life of your period panties and get the most out of them cycle after cycle:

1. Rinse with clear water as soon as you take it off. The goal is to remove as much of the absorbed flow from the lining as possible.
2. Wash your panties either by hand or in the washing machine. If washing by hand, use a gentle detergent in lukewarm water. Be gentle, and you can let your underwear soak for several minutes. In the washing machine, wash your panties on a short cycle at 86°F (30°C) with the rest of your dirty clothes.
3. To dry, hang your panties to air dry.

Avoid highly concentrated detergents, harsh cleaners, fabric softeners, bleach, long or hot cycles, and the dryer! Heat and chemicals are not friends of your period lingerie!
