Do you prefer high-waisted panties, shorts, bloomers, or thongs? To absorb your period and keep you dry for long hours during menstruation, period lingerie comes in endless styles! On our side, we love having the choice of pretty period panties.


For a light menstrual flow, nothing beats a menstrual tanga. Louloucup offers two elegant, thin, delicate black lace styles so you can stay feminine, even during your period. Who said period underwear couldn’t be feminine or pretty? Why not combine comfort, femininity and absorption? The menstrual tanga or period tanga is a fantastic alternative: no compromise between delicate lingerie and reliable period protection.


The light flow menstrual thong is a true representative of this modern, elegant, and delicate menstrual lingerie—comfortable and feminine. It’s a pleasure to wear and slip on, making you feel good and sexy.

To manage a light menstrual flow as well as vaginal secretions and spotting, the period thong stands out as a great alternative to disposable and polluting panty liners and pads. Excellent news for our feminine hygiene and health! An intimate, washable, durable, reusable, eco-friendly, and healthy period protection that’s pretty and feminine—what more could you ask for?

All the qualities of the light flow menstrual thong

Advantage no. 1: the light-flow menstrual thong is sexy

A tanga beautifully highlights your buttocks. Why give up your femininity during your period? After all, you can still dress up and feel pretty, wear nice clothes and take care of your intimate lingerie during your period. A tanga is not like other panties: it offers a flattering high cut over the buttocks.

"Sexier than classic, traditional panties, yet more elegant than a string thong, the tanga is the perfect in‑between that enhances the curve of your buttocks."

The Chloé light-flow menstrual tanga by Louloucup 😍


  • This tanga has an absorption capacity equivalent to 1.5 tampons, or about 10 ml of menstrual flow.

  • The Chloé style can be worn at the very start of your period or at the end when your flow is very light. It can also be worn during ovulation in case of heavy vaginal discharge.

  • Its shape makes it very discreet. It’s invisible under the tightest, most figure-hugging clothes. Just like our seamless menstrual panties, we really love how discreet it is.

  • Available from XS to XXL.

  • The Chloé style is made mainly from organic cotton (GOTS) with a touch of plumetis and elastane.

  • This underwear is certified Oeko-Tex Standard 100.

Advantage no. 2: it’s an absorbent period underwear

Alongside the menstrual panty and menstrual shorty, the tanga is another style of period underwear offered to women to help them manage their periods. Even though it has less fabric than other period panties, the tanga is still very absorbent thanks to its built-in absorbent gusset. Our Louloucup menstrual tangas can hold up to 10 ml of flow.

“The Louloucup period thong is the best menstrual underwear for a light flow.”

Advantage no. 3: the lace menstrual tanga is invisible

Discretion is one of the great qualities of the light flow menstrual thong! Yes, it’s absorbent, but it remains absolutely invisible under clothing thanks to the fineness of its fabric or lace.

All women looking for invisible menstrual underwear that doesn’t show lines or marks will be delighted by these very thin period protections. We truly appreciate the delicacy of the lace, which has no texture.


Advantage no. 4: the menstrual thong is healthy

The Louloucup menstrual tanga has several certifications and labels that guarantee it’s safe for your health, including:

  • the GOTS label for organic cotton,
  • the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 label for clean fabrics (free from harmful toxic substances).

The composition is transparent: you clearly know what you’ve bought and what you’re wearing. In a word: the complete opposite of supermarket pantyliners, whose ingredients are questionable, even dangerous.


If you didn’t already know, all our period underwear (menstrual panties and menstrual tangas) are lined with organic cotton. This guarantees zero harmful products, zero pesticides. That’s excellent news for your intimate area. Certified, labelled organic cotton respects your skin and your intimate health. No risk of allergic reactions, itching or irritation.

Advantage no. 5: the menstrual tanga is eco-friendly

By choosing to wear a tanga-style menstrual panty instead of disposable sanitary products, especially panty liners, you drastically reduce your waste. You avoid buying disposable, plastic-based period products that are polluting and non-recyclable. Instead, you opt for a durable, responsible and more eco-friendly sanitary protection. It’s good for the planet and also for your intimate health (no plastic or petroleum derivatives in contact with your vulva).

By buying washable period products, you’re investing for several years! A well-maintained light-flow menstrual tanga lasts at least 5 years! That’s just as many years without tampons or pads!

Advantage no. 6: the menstrual tanga is comfortable

You won’t feel any difference between a menstrual tanga and a regular tanga. You’re comfortable, you feel confident, and you really appreciate this comfort during your period! 🥰

Light menstrual flow: understanding it and how to manage it

Do you have questions about your periods and what your flow is like? About your intimate hygiene and the right kind of period underwear? It’s not always easy to figure it all out and really understand what’s going on. Light, normal or heavy flow – here’s a quick overview of periods and flow, but feel free to check out our blog for more info on your menstrual cycle and the nature of your periods. 

Light menstrual flow

Your menstrual flow doesn’t stay the same your whole life. It changes. All the time. And quite a lot. Over your lifetime, your periods evolve with age but also with personal events (if you go through one or more pregnancies, for example). So it’s absolutely pointless, and even counterproductive, to compare yourself to your friends, your sister, etc. 

These days, menstrual flow is commonly described as light, medium or heavy. This helps you choose the right sanitary protection.


When a woman or teenage girl has periods with a rather light flow, she won’t feel the need to change her sanitary protection or period product often: the losses are spaced out and fairly slow. She can feel comfortable all day or half a day without any problem. The pad or tampon is barely stained. A light flow corresponds to about 30 ml of blood over the entire period.

When should you wear a light-flow menstrual tanga?

The light-flow menstrual tanga can be worn at different times in the female hormonal cycle:

during your period, of course,

during ovulation, for example, if you notice clear vaginal discharge;

during the premenstrual phase: white discharge during the luteal phase;

these high-cut period panties are also perfect for dealing with brown discharge caused by the pill;

for spotting (light bleeding outside your period);

for irregular periods,

and also in early pregnancy

In short, a tanga is easy to wear and becomes an everyday ally for many women’s intimate and feminine hygiene.

What is spotting? It’s simply small, unexpected losses of blood, light bleeding outside your period. Women who experience this will be glad they anticipated these irregular, surprise losses by wearing absorbent, reliable period underwear. This helps prevent staining your regular underwear and clothes.

  • The pretty Mia period panty is perfect for managing light flow, spotting and vaginal discharge (white, brown or pinkish discharge).

  • This style is very discreet and totally unnoticeable! Protection + discretion!

Caring for your light-flow menstrual tanga

Just like classic menstrual panties, there are a few steps to follow so you can enjoy your period underwear for a long time!

  1. Rinse your tanga in clear, cold water to remove the trapped menstrual flow.
  2. Hand-wash or machine-wash with a gentle detergent. A 30-minute cycle at 30°C (86°F) is ideal. 
  3. Let it air dry, away from radiators and tumble dryers!

Durability and use

Spending around thirty euros on a menstrual tanga is a significant investment. Fortunately, it’s something you can really rely on for a long time. Month after month, year after year, your menstrual tanga is still there, giving you the security you need so much!

A well-cared-for light-flow menstrual tanga can easily last more than 5 years!

FAQ – Light-flow menstrual tanga

What is a light-flow menstrual tanga?

The light-flow menstrual tanga is an absorbent, washable and reusable hygienic underwear. Halfway between a string and classic panties, the tanga has a high-cut back. A menstrual tanga or period tanga is an ideal replacement for a sanitary pad or panty liner. It absorbs menstrual flow or vaginal discharge while keeping you dry for hours. 

If I have a heavy flow, can I wear a light-flow menstrual tanga?

You can always try, but it’s likely to leak very quickly! Instead, choose period underwear suited to your flow. For a heavy or very heavy flow, certain cuts are best, such as a menstrual shorty or high-waisted menstrual panty (check out our heavy-flow range). If you absolutely want to wear your favourite light-flow menstrual tanga, we recommend pairing it with an internal protection such as a menstrual cup, menstrual disc or tampon so your flow is properly managed! 😉

How much does a light-flow menstrual tanga cost?

At Louloucup, the light-flow menstrual tanga is €24.90 before discount with the custom bundle at a sliding scale price. If you order other items, you can get your light-flow menstrual tanga for €22.90! Plus, shipping is free (and don’t forget the promo code for an extra nice discount!).
