We’re featured in the press! 


We’re more than a little proud to see two of our flagship products in the top 10 best period panties for 2025. Yes, you read that right, you’re not dreaming! The Clara heavy-flow period panty and the Mathilde heavy-flow period panty caught the eye of the editorial team at 20 Minutes.

This is fantastic news for us at Louloucup and we really wanted to share it with you here. This super comprehensive shopping comparison reviews many different menstrual product brands. And we’re very proud to see Louloucup mentioned twice with two heavy-flow period panties that our customers absolutely love!


I. Comparison of the best period underwear 2025: Louloucup makes the top list!

Compliance with the strictest ISO standards,


Because let us remind you, our period underwear is:

Sizes in stock

all lined with certified **organic cotton**,

ultra soft and very comfortable to wear,

at a low price (set at €28.90 but decreasing with custom bundles),

available in many sizes (from XXS to 5XL),

beautifully cut and of outstanding quality,

extremely absorbent with a wide, extended absorbent area,

super stylish!

II. Our two best period panties: Clara and Mathilde

The Clara period panty: the unbeatable high-waisted classic

The Clara high‑waisted, very heavy‑flow period underwear is quite simply Louloucup’s signature piece. It’s also one of the most absorbent period panties on the market (if not the most absorbent). Put simply, this period panty has it all.

Design

It’s pretty and very elegant. Gorgeous, black, with lace and sheer details. We love wearing it. It makes you feel powerful and beautiful, very feminine and really good in your body.


Absorption

It is extremely reliable and absorbent. Its high waist offers a very wide absorption area at the front and back of the panty. It’s truly the perfect period panty to start with if you’re afraid of leaks. You’ll feel really reassured. Clara absorbs a heavy, very heavy or hemorrhagic menstrual flow (equivalent to 5 tampons). It’s so absorbent that it can even be worn after childbirth during the postpartum period, or to catch light urinary leaks. Its high waist provides a feeling of security and the peace of mind you need to get through the day or night.


For everyone (really everyone!)

Clara was designed for women who wear size XS just as much as for those who wear size 5XL! Yes, Clara is also available in a plus-size version to suit every body shape. And at Louloucup, you may have already noticed that we make a point of showcasing our products on models of different sizes and body types so everyone can picture themselves in them. We also never retouch our photos. Natural beauty is the best there is 🩷


Healthy

Clara is a menstrual protection lined with organic cotton certified Oeko-Tex Standard 100, guaranteed free from harmful substances. You can wear these panties with complete confidence. No more tampons and pads with dangerous, murky ingredients. You can find the full composition of all our menstrual products on each product page under the DETAILS & COMPO tab. These period panties (like all the others from Louloucup) are vegan and cruelty-free.

The Mathilde period panties: the classic, reliable black pair

With its mid-rise waist, accessible design and wide size range (from XXS to 5XL), the Mathilde black very heavy-flow period panty is perfect for both teens and plus sizes.


Classic and timeless

Its shape, cut, color and simplicity make this style a must-have. We’re not surprised that the magazine 20 Minutes fell for Mathilde. It meets our most basic needs and never lets us down.

Ethical

Designed in France, made from Italian fabrics and manufactured in Portugal, Mathilde is 100% made in Europe. Louloucup is proud to offer high-quality products at fair prices, made just a stone’s throw from France.

A transparent composition

Mathilde is made from polyamide, elastane, plumetis and organic cotton. An important detail: the inner lining in contact with your intimate area is 95% certified organic cotton. This guarantees comfort and softness.


Incredible absorbency

Its absorbency is equivalent to 5 tampons. It’s just as absorbent as the Clara model, making it perfect for both day and night, whether you have a copper IUD or suffer from adenomyosis, like this delighted customer:

“The new Mathilde underwear is amazing for heavy flow. I have adenomyosis and even with treatment, it’s hard to manage. With the Mathilde underwear, it’s been a real game changer for me. It lasts all day with no issues or discomfort. And the quality is top-notch. I’m so satisfied that I’m buying several pairs so I can feel at ease day and night during this period that has always been complicated for me. Thank you Louloucup.”

Light flow: the menstrual thong


For spotting, light discharge, everyday vaginal discharge or the end of your period, ultra-light lace period panties or a menstrual thong are absolutely perfect! They’re the ideal replacement for panty liners, which we tend to overuse and which are really harmful (for your health and for the planet).
