Period underwear: reviews, testimonials, and user experiences

Before checking out and finalizing your custom pack of period panties at a discounted price, we all have the same instinct: to take a look at the reviews from other users who ordered before us. At Louloucup, all the reviews you’ll find (under all our products) are reliable and genuine. They’re collected independently by HelpfulCrowd. Our users share their experiences openly after receiving their orders. This helps many women and teens with their own purchases.

What do users mention most? What are the most common pieces of feedback about period underwear and period lingerie in general? There are 5 recurring points that people use to judge our period underwear:

comfort,

sizes,

absorption,

the Louloucup brand image,

and the option to customize your own set.

1. The Unexpected Comfort of Organic Cotton Underwear

“Super comfortable” Chrysolite D.

Testimonials highlight the exceptional comfort of our period panties, all lined with organic cotton. Organic cotton is gentle on even the most sensitive skin. Grown without chemicals, organic cotton is our favorite for delicate skin. OCS and Oeko-Tex certified, it protects without irritation. Soft and breathable, it maintains intimate balance. It’s our natural ally for a gentler period.

The result is soft, comfortable, lightweight, feminine, and well-fitted. These lingerie pieces fit perfectly, don’t dig in, and don’t leave marks. They’re enveloping and supportive. You’ll feel great in them.


Even with heavy menstrual flow, you still feel fresh. The absorbent fibers keep you dry. No stickiness, no chafing—just a soft cocoon for your sensitive skin.

We love 💜 Zero dampness, zero bad odor, well-designed quality style, and quality materials and fabrics that guarantee great comfort.

2. Sizes: from XXS to 5XL

"Perfect fit and hold" Aurore C.

All our menstrual products are thoroughly researched before being offered for sale. We pay close attention to every detail. For our Plus Size range, for example, we wanted to offer a selection of our best underwear models in sizes 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, or 5XL. To ensure these styles fit just right, we completely reworked and redesigned each item.

Celebrating all kinds of beauty, all bodies, all women, and all body types: that's our mission at Louloucup. Beyond offering a wide range of sizes, we focus on providing underwear that fits well so everyone can feel comfortable in their washable period protection.

We love 💜 the wide range of sizes for all women and the underwear cut that fits every body type.

We also love 💜 Louloucup’s diverse and inclusive models, as well as the natural, unretouched photos.

3. Absorption: effectiveness of period panties

"I have a heavy flow and was able to wear it for up to 7 hours straight during the first days!" Juline N., Clara underwear user.

User feedback confirms the effectiveness of menstrual underwear for all types of flow: from light to heavy.

  •  The menstrual thong, menstrual string, or very light lace menstrual panties are perfect for light flow, light discharge, vaginal discharge, or spotting.
  •  The normal flow period panty is your best friend. It effectively absorbs blood for hours.
  •  High-waisted period underwear, period shorts, and heavy flow period panties absorb heavy or hemorrhagic periods without leaking.

5. Custom bundle at a discounted price

“My favorite from my order of 5 period panties—super comfortable, very absorbent, and no leaks even on my first day, which is always extremely heavy.” Kelhy R.

For a stress-free, effective, and balanced menstrual routine, we recommend owning at least 5 period panties. This lets you rotate them and always have a clean spare. We know buying 5 period panties at once can be a real investment for many, so at Louloucup we created a custom bundle. This pack or set is super cost-effective.

Take a look: the more menstrual products you add to your cart, the lower the price per item drops. You don’t have to do anything—no code to enter, no account to create. If you have 5 products in your cart (any kind), the original price of €28.90 drops to €22.90! That’s a great deal!

FAQ: Menstrual Panty Reviews

What’s the best brand of period underwear?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, because the "best" brand depends on your needs and preferences. At Louloucup, we wanted to make zero compromises between price and quality. That’s why we position ourselves as the French brand for period underwear made with organic cotton, manufactured in Portugal, and offered at the most competitive prices.

To choose the right brand, consider your menstrual flow, your size, the composition, and the design. Every brand has its own advantages, so don’t hesitate to compare and read reviews to find the one that works best for you!

What are the drawbacks of period panties?

There are a few drawbacks to period panties you should know about. You can’t swim in them, so if you want to enjoy the beach or pool, you can opt for a period swimsuit or a menstrual cup.

The initial cost may be higher than disposable products, but they're cost-effective in the long run. Care requires rinsing with cold water and a gentle wash. Drying time can be a bit long, but that's the price for a durable and comfortable option!

Is it possible to get toxic shock syndrome from a period underwear?

No, menstrual underwear, as an external protection, does not pose any risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). TSS is associated with internal products like tampons and menstrual cups.


The risk of TSS increases with prolonged use of internal protection and/or products with too high absorbency. Follow the usage recommendations for each product, especially the maximum wear time for internal protection (6 hours), and favor external protection like period panties.

Which underwear is best for very heavy flow?

To handle a very heavy flow and ensure hours of peace of mind, choose full-coverage, high-absorption models. At Louloucup, we offer several styles that are perfect for very heavy flow: Clara, Mathilde, Léo, Liv, and Jade.

All five of these panties have ultra-high absorbency, comparable to more than five regular tampons.

How can you get reimbursed for period underwear?

Reimbursement for period panties is possible under certain conditions. If you’re under 26, you can get partial coverage, with 60% reimbursed by social security. Those with supplemental health coverage (C2S) may be eligible for full reimbursement.
To qualify, buy your products at a pharmacy and choose reusable protection (washable pads, period panties, or menstrual cups). Reimbursement only applies to products on a list that meet strict standards for non-toxicity and minimal environmental impact.
