In the midst of the postpartum period, it can be hard to find your bearings, establish a routine and simply rest and breathe. To help you and take one worry off your plate, think about post-birth underwear or postpartum menstrual underwear.

Choose period underwear specially designed for very heavy flow to manage your postpartum blood loss and leaks. These panties are both highly absorbent and comfortable, and prove extremely useful!

Our postpartum-friendly period pants are the most absorbent panties we offer. They’re part of our range designed for heavy to very heavy flow. Their absorbency is really impressive, equivalent to 5 tampons.

Lochia are heavy postpartum discharges that can often be alarming for new mothers. However, this is a completely normal and natural process.

When you slip on very heavy-flow period underwear, your mind is at ease. One less thing to worry about. It feels so good! 

With super-absorbent period underwear, there’s no unpleasant feeling of dampness. The fabrics used capture and hold your flow without leaving you feeling wet. It’s very comfortable.

We know how essential comfort is in the days following childbirth for a new mum’s daily life. A body that is tired and sore from so much effort and often an exhausting birth needs gentleness.

We offer well-cut, well-fitting styles so that women really feel good when they put them on. Our briefs don’t dig in, squeeze, itch or leave marks. Also, all Louloucup underwear is lined on the inside with certified organic cotton (Oeko-Tex 100 and OCS). This natural material is very soft and ensures real comfort. 

It’s important to use healthy period products for your wellbeing. And in the postpartum period, the composition of your period solutions matters even more. To avoid irritation, allergic reactions and aggression, you should choose quality products made from safe materials, ideally natural and organic.

Louloucup is a French brand that manufactures 80% of its period panties in Portugal using Italian fabrics. We are completely transparent about the composition of our panties: everything is listed on each product page in the Details and Composition section. 

Note that all our panties are vegan and cruelty-free and contain no silver nanoparticles.
