What to consider when choosing the best period underwear for you
To choose the menstrual underwear model best suited to your needs, there are a few essential criteria to consider. These will help you find the perfect fit. Every woman is different, every menstrual cycle is different, so you need period panties tailored to you, your habits, and your flow.
How to choose menstrual underwear? What are the key factors to consider when choosing the best period panties? Louloucup is here to help you find the perfect menstrual underwear for you!
⦿ Clean ingredients for your period underwear
Users who choose washable and sustainable period products do so because they no longer want to use disposable tampons or pads with questionable and criticized ingredients. They want healthy products that respect their bodies, their health, and their privacy. And that’s perfectly understandable!
When choosing menstrual underwear, take the time to look at what each pair is made of. What fabrics are used? Are natural materials prioritized? Are analysis reports available? Is the brand transparent?
Louloucup has chosen transparency. On every product page, you’ll easily find a detailed breakdown of each pair’s composition. We clearly state the fabric contents and their percentages, both inside and out. Plus, our underwear is tested by independent labs, and the results are available on our website. This way, we can proudly offer underwear that’s free from harmful substances and silver nanoparticles.
Good to know: At Louloucup, you’ll only find underwear lined with certified organic cotton inside. The fabrics and materials vary depending on the model. You’ll find, among others, nylon, organic bamboo, polyamide, elastane, plumetis, and more.
⦿ Absorption capacity of the panty
Another very important factor to consider when choosing the right underwear: the absorption capacity of the period underwear. Choose one or more models that match your menstrual flow.
By picking the right underwear for your flow intensity, you can avoid leaks, overflow, and stains.
Generally, underwear, shorties, thongs, and other styles have varying absorbency. They can hold the equivalent of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 tampons. Light flow, medium flow, heavy flow, or very heavy flow—there are lots of period underwear models to choose from.
Good to know: at Louloucup, you can easily find light flow, medium flow, heavy flow, and very heavy flow period underwear to perfectly manage any type and intensity of flow!
⦿ Aesthetics and shape
While it may seem trivial to some, looks are still something to consider. Today, you can choose from a variety of very different styles of underwear. High-waisted, low-rise, with lacing, lace, solid black, striped prints, floral prints, seamless or colorful—you’ve got options!
With period underwear, you can have your period and still feel pretty and sexy! It’s not impossible anymore! You’ll feel good and look great in underwear that flatters your curves! The cut of your underwear is important. High-waisted styles, for example, are perfect for hiding that little period bloat.
Good to know: At Louloucup, you’ll find lots of different, feminine, and sexy styles. So which one will you fall for? We’re big fans of the Naomi period underwear and the Margot high-waisted lace period underwear. Both are feminine, elegant, and classic black.
⦿ The size of the period underwear
Size is obviously another important factor. Before ordering, check with the brand to see if their sizing runs true. Some models tend to stretch out or shrink after a few uses. It’s good to know this to avoid unpleasant surprises.
Good to know: at Louloucup, we offer all our period underwear in sizes XS to XL. We also have a collection of teen period underwear with options in XXS, and a plus size period underwear collection with models available in XXL, XXXL, and XXXXL.
⦿ Your habits, your daily life, your lifestyle
Are you a sporty high schooler? A busy professional? A frequent traveler? An expectant or new mom? A woman in perimenopause? No matter who you are, there's a pair of period underwear to fit your needs.
Your habits and lifestyle are important factors when choosing the right period underwear.
