What to choose: menstrual string or menstrual thong?

With menstrual lingerie, you really have plenty of options to treat yourself! Menstrual shorty, menstrual bloomers, high-waisted menstrual panties, classic menstrual panties, as well as menstrual thongs or menstrual tangas!

Which thong menstrual panties should you choose? What’s the difference between a period tanga and a period thong?

You love beautiful feminine lingerie and don’t want to compromise during your period? You’re already convinced by washable menstrual protection and period underwear in general, and you’d like to order a menstrual thong or a menstrual tanga, but you’re hesitating between the two styles?

Do you have a light or very light menstrual flow? Are you familiar with spotting (light bleeding outside your period during your cycle) or various vaginal discharges and looking for an absorbent, invisible protection to replace disposable panty liners?

Louloucup, a brand of organic menstrual panties, helps you choose between string and thong, the right style of period underwear according to your tastes and needs. 

The menstrual thong and the menstrual tanga are both washable period underwear. Just like menstrual shorts or period panties, they are absorbent underwear that capture and hold flow (periods, secretions, various discharge) very effectively while keeping you dry. 

By definition, period lingerie is: 

• practical,
• pretty,
• discreet,
• and economical.

Cut, absorption, an alternative to panty liners, delicate lingerie—we’ll walk you through all the key features of period g‑strings and thongs. We’ll help you choose the style that best suits your profile, expectations and needs. Here’s a full comparison between the thong and the period g‑string.

These two must-have pieces of women’s lingerie are similar in many ways.

• In both cases, your butt is highlighted. There is very little fabric and the cut is minimal. Both thong and tanga are styles of high-cut lingerie.
  
  
• The main difference between a menstrual thong and a tanga is the cut, especially at the back. The period tanga is a hygienic protection that is slightly less revealing than the menstrual thong around the buttocks.
  
  
• A period thong has a bit more fabric, while a period g‑string is defined only by thin bands of fabric over the hips and across the buttocks. 

The light-flow menstrual lingerie (for light periods) such as the menstrual tanga or menstrual thong has an absorption capacity equivalent to 1 or 2 sanitary tampons.

These high-cut period panties use very little fabric. Their absorption capacity is therefore lower than other models like period boxers, period shorties or high-waisted period panties. The absorbent core in the fabric is less extensive, so the absorption capacity is limited—logically! 

A period g‑string is typically effective at absorbing very light periods, light spotting and vaginal discharge. Used in these situations, a period g‑string means no leaks, no stains, no saturation. 

GOOD TO KNOW: Louloucup’s period thong has a neat absorption capacity equivalent to 10 ml.

The main feature of menstrual thongs and tangas is the highly absorbent technical fabric sewn into the gusset lining. The goal? To capture and hold menstrual flow effectively without becoming saturated, overflowing, or leaking. This absorbency and dry feel help you avoid using disposable, polluting products.

Eco-friendly, washable, durable, reusable, zero-waste, both the menstrual thong and tanga are very interesting menstrual and hygienic protections for the planet, the environment, and also for your health. They save you from buying disposable tampons and pads every month.

Purchasing a washable and reusable menstrual thong helps avoid buying disposable, polluting panty liners that produce non-recyclable plastic waste.

Do you particularly love feminine, sexy, delicate lingerie? With lace and beautiful finishes? The menstrual thong and tanga are small lingerie pieces with very little fabric. These period underwear pieces are very suggestive and enhance your body, your shape, your curves, and your femininity! 

GOOD TO KNOW: Louloucup’s Mia model is a very thin, light-flow period brief in flat lace. 

Both the g‑string and the thong have a major advantage: they’re extremely discreet! Just like seamless period panties, a period g‑string is invisible under clothing.

Very thin, both the thong and the tanga are the most discreet lingerie you can wear. The small amount of fabric contributes to this. With a period thong, no lines, no marks under your clothes. Guaranteed invisibility! 

Comfort and softness! With a period thong or period tanga, you really feel good and comfortable. No unpleasant or bothersome feeling of dampness, no leaks or bad odors with these waterproof, reusable, and absorbent hygienic protections. 

Louloucup’s Chloé menstrual thong is a period underwear style that really has it all: a low price, an inner layer made from organic cotton free from toxic residues, Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified, vegan and cruelty-free, a feminine cut, super cute dotted mesh, and a classic black color. 

Made in Portugal, the Louloucup Chloé period thong is a reliable, comfortable, soft and affordable sanitary protection. You’ll love putting it on and wearing it all day long under your dress, suit or even your sports leggings.
