A girl’s first period is often a sign of big changes. Hormones, acne, puberty—the body changes very quickly! These new periods, often irregular and sometimes painful, can be surprising and unsettling. She needs reliable, practical, easy-to-use protection that will reassure her.
The period panty is a hygienic, washable, reusable piece of underwear that in many ways is a great option for teenagers experiencing their first period.
Eco-friendly, organic, washable, reusable, durable, reliable and, on top of that, pretty, the teen period panty or teen menstrual underwear, available from size 3XS (ages 10–12) at a low price, is winning over more and more young girls.
If you don’t know it yet or you’re still unsure, discover the key things to know about this revolutionary menstrual protection! Also check out the Louloucup teen period panty range, a collection designed especially for teenagers so they don’t have to suffer through their periods and can enjoy life, have fun and live fully without extra mental load or stress.

Before going any further, a quick comparison is necessary. Let’s weigh the pros and cons of the main protections and hygiene solutions for our teens.
Tampons dominated for a very long time. Essential for swimming, they were practical and fairly easy for our teens to use, especially with an applicator. Today, concerns about tampon composition have made them less obvious and less popular.
The clear advantage is definitely the price. However, keep in mind that the price of one box needs to be multiplied by the number of cycles in a year (around 13), and the total quickly adds up!
There are many downsides. The composition of tampons was kept quiet for a long time. We’ve since discovered chlorine, pesticides and many substances that are harmful to health. Repeated tampon use also has negative effects on intimate health, as tampons can cause vaginal dryness and irritation. Finally, a tampon left in too long can be dangerous: there is a risk of TSS (toxic shock syndrome).
The main advantage of disposable sanitary pads is their upfront price. This argument needs to be qualified, though, just as with tampons.
On the downside, pads are polluting. They are made partly of plastics and petroleum derivatives that cannot be recycled. They also generate bad odors and can quickly become saturated. Finally, pads can shift and cause leaks. In short, they are neither reliable nor practical.
This internal protection has revolutionized period care. Its biggest downside is probably that using it may not be straightforward at first for all teens who don’t feel comfortable with their bodies yet.
The positive points are numerous, however. The menstrual cup is durable, economical, hygienic, and super practical. It is particularly suitable for young girls and women with a heavy flow. The cup is great for swimming sessions. Be careful, the cup remains an internal protection that should not be worn for more than 6 hours in a row.
The only downside of teen period panties is their price at purchase, which can be discouraging. It’s important to know that the cost of menstrual panties is quickly offset. A well-maintained period panty lasts several years (on average 5 years).
Teen period panties really tick all the boxes. Super practical, they adapt to every flow: you’ll find options for light, medium, heavy, very heavy and even haemorrhagic flow. Because they’re durable, period underwear creates zero waste – it’s eco-friendly and washable! Plus, different brands are making a real effort to offer fun, cute, pretty and feminine designs, so why miss out? (We’re obsessed with the teen bloomer-style Lea period panties and the simple yet elegant Lucie with its gold trim 😍).
The teen period panty has many advantages for young people looking for menstrual protection that’s reliable, easy to use and comfortable. In our teen period panties, you’ll find three key benefits that really make a difference and that teens love:
Teenagers love menstrual panties because they’re invisible. No one can guess that under her jeans, your teen is wearing an absorbent panty that captures her flow all day long! At night, heavy‑flow menstrual panties are truly perfect for sleeping dry and stain‑free. A real joy!
Opt for teen period panties lined with OCS-certified organic cotton (Organic Cotton Standard) for extra softness, but above all to ensure a healthy material in contact with their intimate area. Given the harmful compositions of tampons, the priority is to equip yourself with safe, risk-free, certified protections, standard 100 Oeko-Tex.
The ease of use and comfort of period underwear make it a hit with girls of all ages: for those just leaving childhood and discovering their periods, for middle-schoolers, high-schoolers and university students. Whether 12, 14 or 16, period panties are so comfortable and practical that every teen can wear them with no problem!

A few tips to help you make the best choice of teen period underwear:
At Louloucup, we offer a wide variety of panty styles: high-waisted, plus sizes, black, printed, cotton, washable, and durable. For heavy or light flow, delivery is always free, and shipping costs are covered within France. Additionally, orders are always shipped within 48 hours.

Today, teens have a choice! They can wear disposable or washable period products. The main thing is that they feel good and confident, and that they don’t compare themselves to their friends, because every body and every period is different. Pads work well for some but not for others, etc. We recommend taking the time to test things at home when you’re relaxed, and also learning to really understand your period and your flow—this can help you choose. And remember, at Louloucup we offer period underwear styles for every flow: from light to very heavy.
Prices vary. It depends on the menstrual lingerie brand but also, and above all, on the composition, the materials used and the country of manufacture. A polyester period panty made in China will cost less than an organic cotton period panty made in Europe or France.
At Louloucup, teen period panties cost between €22.90 and €28.90 before discounts. Don’t forget: the more you add to your cart at Louloucup, the more the unit price of each product drops – it’s automatic!
