If you like period underwear to manage your cycle, you probably already know about the period boxer. This absorbent, washable and reusable menstrual underwear is similar to a period panty. It’s just as reliable and comfortable. If you haven’t yet fallen for this specific style, let us introduce all the advantages of this pretty, high-quality menstrual and hygienic lingerie!


Because organic cotton period boxers have everything going for them. They’re highly effective. Made from certified organic cotton, this underwear becomes the ideal companion for anyone who experiences a heavy or very heavy flow during their menstrual cycle. Discover its smart absorbent technology, all-day and all-night comfort, inclusive sizing, and all our tips for serene periods without leaks, stains or stress.

The perfect menstrual boxer for heavy and hemorrhagic periods

A real breakthrough for people with extremely heavy periods, menstrual boxers are especially appreciated by anyone dealing with intense bleeding. Boxer-style panties offer optimal coverage and maximum absorbency. They turn your period days into a calmer time instead of a constant source of worry. Just like with heavy or very heavy-flow period panties, menstrual boxers help lighten your mental load!

Why choose menstrual boxer shorts for heavy and very heavy flow?

Boxer-style period panties stand out thanks to their full-coverage cut, which supports the lower belly, hips and lower back. This extended protection significantly reduces the risk of side leaks, especially useful at night or after childbirth.

With an absorption capacity equivalent to five tampons, this underwear provides long-lasting protection thanks to its multi-layer absorbent technology that effectively retains flow while keeping the skin dry (zero moisture). Many users testify that they now experience their periods more serenely thanks to this practical and efficient alternative.

Switching to a menstrual boxer is both a practical and eco‑friendly choice. Fewer changes during the day (you can get through your day without overthinking, stressing or running to the bathroom multiple times) make work and travel easier. Teens can get through a full day of classes at middle or high school much more relaxed. They can focus on their studies without being distracted. Because the boxer is washable and therefore reusable, it also saves money and helps reduce polluting waste in a very concrete way.

Super‑reliable menstrual protection with up to 10 hours of protection and absorbency

Its effectiveness against heavy and very heavy flows is based on a multi-layer design combining breathable organic cotton, a reinforced absorbent zone and an anti-leak barrier. This smart system keeps you protected for up to ten consecutive hours, day or night.


  1. Independent lab testing: our products undergo strict checks to confirm their absorbency and safety.
  2. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification: guarantees a composition free from harmful substances.
  3. Wide absorbent area at the front and back, not just at the crotch: effective protection even when lying down.
  4. Optional extra protection: Can of course be worn with a cup or menstrual disc in extreme situations.

Perfect for busy days, classes, travel or sports, these period boxers provide reliable protection and optimal comfort throughout your menstrual cycle.

Heavy-flow menstrual boxer in organic cotton: a healthy composition for you!

The choice of materials for period underwear directly affects your comfort, protection and how long the product will last. At Louloucup, we prioritize certified natural fabrics such as organic cotton and bamboo fibers. These specific materials are kind to your body and intimate area, as well as the environment, while of course providing optimal absorbency for heavy or very heavy flow.

A clear, clean, risk‑free composition

Our boxer‑style period underwear is made exclusively from traceable, dermatologically tested fibres. The part in contact with your intimate area is certified organic cotton, grown without chemicals or pesticides, eliminating any risk of irritation or allergy linked to synthetic materials.


What you need to know about the composition of our Louloucup period panties:


  1. Zero PFAS:
    these chemical substances, so‑called “forever pollutants” often used for waterproofing, are completely absent from our products.

  2. Menstrual cup (or “cup”), this durable internal sanitary protection sits at the entrance of the vagina and collects menstrual flow effectively. The cup can be used for all types of flow. It’s ideal for managing heavy or very heavy periods.

    Sportswomen and swimmers love this protection because it doesn’t show, doesn’t leak and doesn’t leave marks. And yes, those who like tampons for their internal protection will no doubt be convinced by the menstrual cup.

    The cup is sterilized in boiling water and then inserted easily. It’s removed after a few hours (6 hours maximum). You empty it, wash it, then reinsert it without any problem. Girls and women who are virgins can use it.

    When properly washed and rinsed, a cup can last for years! It’s therefore a very cost-effective investment compared with tampons.
  3. Zero toxic dyes:
    our OEKO-TEX-certified dyes contain no heavy metals or harmful substances.

We are fully transparent about risks such as toxic shock syndrome. Regular testing by an independent laboratory confirms the absence of chemical residues in our textiles. We also share the textile analysis report so you can be sure all our products meet the strictest standards.

Organic cotton, an essential natural fabric

Organic cotton offers easy care and excellent durability. This material withstands repeated low-temperature washes without losing its absorbent power or softness, while maintaining a dry feel thanks to its breathable structure. In short, you get it, cotton is a winner. It's THE essential material for our organic menstrual panties.

  1. Moisture management: cotton absorbs up to 25% of its weight in water while keeping the skin dry for long‑lasting comfort.


  2. Hypoallergenic: perfect for sensitive skin, it helps reduce irritation and infections.

  3. Eco‑friendly: biodegradable, it has a reduced impact on the environment.

  4. Sustainable farming: uses less water, no harmful pesticides for the soil or the growers.

The natural softness of cotton combined with a touch of elastane creates a menstrual panty or boxer that moves with your body and hugs your curves without discomfort. You can wear your menstrual boxer all day long, even during intense activities.

Labels, certifications, a guarantee for your health

Independent labels and certifications are your best protection against dubious claims. They guarantee that every stage of production meets strict standards for your menstrual health.


  • GOTS label: guarantees the organic origin of the fibers and good working conditions.
  • OEKO-TEX: checks that the fabric is free from toxic substances.
  • Dermatological tests: tested on sensitive skin to avoid any discomfort.
  • Vegan and Cruelty-Free: no animal-derived ingredients and no animal testing.

Unlike some competing products recently called out for containing PFAS, our regular testing confirms the total absence of these so‑called “forever chemicals.” With us, you can enjoy a menstrual product that is healthy, absorbent, safe and pleasant to wear every day.

FAQ: menstrual boxer

How do I properly care for my menstrual boxer shorts to maintain their effectiveness?

To keep your menstrual boxer as effective and absorbent as on day one, start by rinsing it in cold water until it runs clear. This step removes most of the flow and preserves the absorbent area. Then machine-wash at 30°C with your usual laundry, without fabric softener (it reduces absorbency and weakens protection). Air-dry whenever possible: tumble drying damages the waterproof membrane and prevents the fabric from staying dry and comfortable throughout its optimal 3 to 5 years of use.


Can I wear menstrual boxer shorts all night without risking leaks?

Absolutely! Menstrual boxers specially designed for heavy to very heavy flows are perfect as night-time menstrual protection. They offer up to 10 hours of continuous protection, making them ideal for overnight use. Their wider absorbent area at the back ensures optimal comfort in every sleeping position.

How many menstrual boxers do I need to calmly manage my entire cycle?

For a typical menstrual cycle, 5 menstrual boxers and/or menstrual panties are ideal: this lets you wear a clean pair every day while the others dry after washing. If you have a very heavy flow or want more flexibility, go for 6 to 8 pieces with different absorbency levels (from very absorbent to lighter). This adaptable wardrobe suits both teenagers and adults, ensuring comfort and protection at every phase of the cycle. Remember that menstrual panties take longer to dry than regular underwear.


What is the average duration of a normal period?

The average length of a period is around 5 days, with variations between 3 and 8 days. This average can be influenced by factors such as age, type of contraception or overall health. Regular periods within this range are generally a sign of a healthy cycle.
