Depending on your profile, habits, and the nature and intensity of your flow, you can choose a specific type of period underwear. It’s important to carefully read the product details as well as user reviews before making your choice.

The heavy-flow period panty or very heavy-flow panty is an essential in your period routine. This style is specifically designed to handle heavy or very heavy bleeding and is particularly practical for many women.

With its high absorbency, the very heavy-flow period panty provides strong, reliable protection for many hours. No dampness, no leaks, no saturation and no bad odours: the very heavy-flow panty easily manages periods with a copper IUD, for example. These styles are also suitable postpartum to deal with lochia. Its absorbent layer extends from the front to the back of the panty and goes up to the buttocks for wide, fail-safe coverage.

Main feature: an impressive absorbency capacity, equivalent to 5 tampons.

No risk of toxic shock syndrome, no irritation, no dryness, no danger to your health, your intimate area or your hormonal balance – period panties are an external sanitary protection, reusable and washable, with a healthy, transparent composition.
We’re all for organic period panties and local manufacturing in France or Europe. Many brands are making a real effort to offer high-quality panties made from healthy materials such as organic cotton or organic bamboo. Pay attention to labels and certifications (OEKO-TEX) to be sure you’re choosing panties with top-notch composition!

Key point: the brand should clearly highlight the composition, as well as labels, certifications, patents and any test results proving that the fabrics used are safe.

Looking for menstrual underwear that’s absorbent, reliable and super discreet? Seamless, invisible menstrual panties are a favorite among athletes. With these ultra-discreet styles, sporty types don’t have to give up their favorite leggings. The fabrics used are usually very thin and soft, and the seams are either flat or invisible.

We particularly love the second-skin feel and the softness of the fabric.

Main feature: seamless and invisible is great, but never forget that high absorbency is a must for intense workouts.

Period panties can be really useful and practical if you have irregular periods. Surprise or irregular periods come earlier or later than expected. These periods catch you off guard, and it’s always unpleasant to realise it when you’re far from home.

Period panties slip easily into your handbag. That makes them a practical, comfortable backup emergency period product you can always rely on.

Main feature: if your periods are irregular, why not opt for a panty style with an easy‑open fastening system that you can take off or put on in a flash?

Light flow, spotting, vaginal discharge – period panties are super handy for managing these kinds of leaks too. To avoid using standard disposable panty liners, light-flow period panties are ideal. Menstrual thongs or even menstrual G-strings can absorb light menstrual flow, spotting (light, intermittent bleeding) as well as vaginal discharge throughout your cycle.

Key point: since you’ll be wearing these panties all day, choose a product that is above all comfortable, with an inner layer made from organic cotton.
