When you switch to washable period underwear, the very first thing to look at is undoubtedly the fabric composition. Because yes, buying a set of washable, reusable menstrual products is great, but buying a set with safe materials and ethical manufacturing is even better! We avoid tampons and pads with dangerous, harmful compositions and properties—not to then go and buy just anything!
Have you ever read the ingredient list on a box of pads or tampons? The intimate area is particularly vulnerable and easily absorbs whatever comes into contact with it. Yet many disposable products contain unsuspected substances: herbicides, endocrine disruptors, chlorine derivatives, phthalates, petrochemical derivatives, etc.
Disposable protections, although essential, hide concerning components. Chlorine bleaching generates dioxin residues, classified as endocrine disruptors or carcinogens. Phthalates, present in plastics, disrupt the hormonal system. Not to mention pesticides, like glyphosate. Finally, synthetic fragrances, often undeclared, cause irritation.
Chlorine and dioxins from bleaching,
Pesticides (glyphosate) from conventional cotton,
Phthalates and plasticizers,
Fragrances and odor neutralizers.
These substances increase the risk of allergies, intimate dryness and even toxic shock syndrome (TSS) when using tampons.
Fortunately, in recent years, several healthy, effective and safe alternatives with clean compositions have become popular: menstrual cups, swimsuits and period panties.
Organic cotton changes everything. Grown without pesticides, this natural fiber protects both your body and ecosystems. It’s **hypoallergenic**, reducing the risk of yeast infections or irritation. Its breathability prevents moisture build‑up, making it an ideal choice for your menstrual routine.
From an environmental standpoint, organic cotton uses less water and protects biodiversity, unlike conventional cotton, which accounts for 16% of global pesticide use. By choosing washable organic cotton period panties, you reduce plastic waste and adopt a long-term reusable solution.
Did you know? At Louloucup, all our panties are OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, guaranteeing the absence of harmful substances. All our panties are lined on the inside with GOTS-certified organic cotton, ensuring maximum safety for your skin, your intimate area, your health and the planet.
By combining health, comfort and durability, organic cotton period panties stand out as a truly eco-friendly, practical and hygienic solution. They’re a modern alternative that meets today’s environmental and women’s well-being concerns.
Louloucup period panties use GOTS-certified organic cotton. This standard guarantees cultivation without chemical pesticides, synthetic fertilisers or GMOs, preserving biodiversity and soil fertility.
So what is the GOTS label, exactly?
The GOTS label covers the entire production chain. From the fiber to the finished product, every step is monitored to limit environmental impact and protect workers’ rights. The energy used is renewable and wastewater is treated before being discharged. The result: an exceptionally soft fabric, ideal for sensitive skin.
Louloucup offers a natural alternative to conventional products. Organic cotton hugs the skin without irritating it, preventing itching or redness. Unlike the harsh substances found in tampons or disposable pads, it preserves intimate balance without compromising comfort. It also helps prevent excessive sweating and dampness.
Every component of the panties is tested according to the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 label. More than 1,000 harmful substances, such as endocrine disruptors, heavy metals or residues of azo dyes, are systematically excluded. Even the elastics and seams are analyzed.
Unlike disposable products, which are often made with plastics or bleaching agents, Louloucup styles eliminate any chemical risk. Rigorous testing confirms they are safe for intimate health. For example, formaldehyde, a common irritant in industrial textiles, is strictly banned.
With its double GOTS and OEKO-TEX® certification, Louloucup combines comfort and sustainability. Wearing panties knowing they respect your body and the strictest standards, from cotton farming to recycled packaging, is pure joy!
By choosing washable lingerie, you’re taking a truly concrete step for the planet—a step that matters. You avoid the month-after-month build-up of non-recyclable waste (packaging and products).
One pair replaces up to 150 pads per year, reducing your carbon footprint. Did you know a tampon takes 6 months to break down?
To sum up:
Louloucup period underwear is certified OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 and all pairs are lined with GOTS-certified organic cotton. Three guarantees:
comfort (softness, breathability),
good for your health (ethical, clean composition, hypoallergenic),
eco-friendly (washable, zero waste, reusable for many years).
lower back pain,
In short, each pair of underwear becomes a wellness ally and a step towards more responsible consumption. Choosing organic cotton means investing in a long-lasting solution that’s healthy for you and kind to the environment.
While all our panties are lined with organic cotton, some are also made from organic cotton on the outside. Discover these gems: ultra-soft and super comfortable!
The four period panties below are made from 95% organic cotton and 5% elastane (essential for stretch). These four period panties are OEKO‑TEX® Standard 100 certified and eligible for the custom bundle with sliding‑scale pricing.

At Louloucup, every style combines comfort and performance without compromising your health. Find the one that suits you and turn your period into a moment of well-being.
Organic cotton is an ideal material for period underwear, especially when it’s GOTS and OEKO-TEX® certified. It’s hypoallergenic, breathable and gentle on sensitive skin. Combining comfort, safety and sustainability, this fabric offers a healthy alternative while protecting the environment.
Organic cotton is grown without pesticides, herbicides or GMOs, unlike conventional cotton, which is often contaminated with chemical residues such as glyphosate.
Organic cotton is a natural barrier against irritation and yeast infections thanks to its breathability and the absence of chemicals. Unlike synthetic fabrics such as microfiber, it prevents dampness and odors. At Louloucup, our organic cotton panties are designed to hug your curves comfortably while effectively absorbing your flow. It’s a gentle solution for both your body and the planet, helping to avoid the waste created by disposable products.
Organic cotton offers three major benefits:
- It’s grown without chemicals, eliminating the risk of allergies or irritation;
- It’s more eco-friendly, requiring less water and protecting soil biodiversity;
- It’s ultra-soft, ideal for sensitive skin.
Organic cotton is better for intimate health because it’s breathable and anti-irritation, unlike microfiber, which can trap moisture and promote yeast infections. However, microfiber is appreciated for being discreet and durable, especially in sports styles. At Louloucup, our organic cotton panties combine both: a soft microfiber outer layer for freedom of movement, and an organic cotton inner layer for natural protection. The perfect balance between comfort and safety.
Organic cotton has two main drawbacks: its higher initial price and its care requirements (wash at 30°C, air‑dry only). However, its cost is spread over several years of use, unlike disposable products. As for care, you simply need to rinse in cold water before washing and avoid fabric softener. In return, you get a healthy, eco‑friendly and durable material with no compromise on comfort.
