The period swimsuit for teens

If the period underwear proves to be a great alternative for our teens going through puberty, what about at the beach or by the pool? There’s no way we’re missing out on an afternoon swim with friends or enjoying the beach because of menstruation!

Faced with first periods that aren’t always regular, the surprises of puberty, and the flood of hormones, the menstrual swimwear or teen menstrual swimsuit stands out as a respectful (both for the body and the environment), clean, easy, and reliable period protection.

Still, it’s a washable hygiene product with a certain cost. Is it really worth investing in a period bikini? How does period swimwear actually work? Is it really reliable? Can it absorb every type of menstrual flow?

Find out everything you need to know about the teen menstrual swimsuit or period swimwear for teens.

Swimming on your period: what are the real options?! This question comes up a lot. Several solutions are available to swim during your period as a teen.
At 12, 14 or 16, our teens can choose between several hygienic options: the menstrual cup, disposable tampons or a period swimsuit. Why is a teen period swimsuit more suitable, more comfortable, more practical and more economical for girls going through their first periods? Let’s take a closer look at all the options. 

The menstrual cup made from medical-grade silicone needs to be soft and flexible for a teen. Just like with tampons, people who are virgins can absolutely use a cup.
A washable, long-lasting period protection, the cup is very economical, hygienic, and reliable. However, using a menstrual cup does require a certain level of comfort with your body and your intimate area. You also need to be okay with the sight of blood. That’s not always the case when you’re a teen...

A menstrual cup remains the best washable period protection for swimming when you have a heavy or very heavy flow. With a cup, zero leaks! It sits snugly against your vaginal walls and doesn’t let anything through, neither air nor water, so you can relax!
If you have a heavy or very heavy flow, you can still wear a period swimsuit as a backup to the cup. The good news? You can do all your shopping at Louloucup without breaking the bank! We offer a cup model that’s super soft and very flexible, making it easy to insert... 

GOOD TO KNOW: once you’re done swimming, always make sure you have a clean spare pair of period underwear with you, especially if you have a heavy flow! Find all our teen heavy-flow period panties in our shop! They’re also eligible for the custom bundle with sliding-scale prices.

A well-known protection especially used for swimming, the classic disposable tampon is no longer as well regarded as it once was.
Its criticized composition (containing chlorine, plastic, detergents, herbicides), the dryness it causes to the vaginal wall, and of course the risk of toxic shock syndrome, make it a poor choice.

Standard or applicator tampons are also disposable and polluting. This inexpensive internal protection is still bad for both the environment and your body. Once again, menstrual swimsuits or period bikini bottoms are economical and very easy to use.

The teen period swimsuit, or menstrual swimsuit for teens, is a fantastic option for swimming without any hassle. 

It has the same advantages as a menstrual cup: zero waste, reusable, washable, easy to use and comfortable. It’s a period protection that’s eco-friendly, long-lasting, reusable with no health risks, and also budget-friendly and practical.

It’s the perfect alternative for teen girls who want to feel protected in the middle of summer without worrying about leaks or bad smells. You put it on just like any other swimsuit. After swimming, simply rinse and wash it like your period underwear.

The teen period swimsuit is an easy-to-use period protection that can really save the day! When you’re a teen, your periods are often irregular and can crash the party with no warning signs! Keeping a period bikini bottom at the bottom of your bag is simple and lets you enjoy yourself without worrying.

Curious about teen menstrual swimwear? It’s normal—this newcomer in the world of zero-waste period protection raises questions. How does it hold blood without leaks? What flow levels can menstrual swimsuits handle? How long can they be worn?
Which model should you choose? Here’s everything you need to know about teen menstrual swimwear.

How can a period swimsuit be fully immersed in water and still hold menstrual flow without leaking? 

1. Just like period underwear, period swimwear has a large absorbent area that can hold menstrual flow. 
2. Period blood is captured, held and stored in this absorbent membrane without swelling (just like in period panties). 
3. A period swimsuit, on top of the panty layer, also has a waterproof fabric that stops the flow from escaping once you’re in the water. 
4. This is how period swimwear manages to hold and lock in your flow. Louloucup swimsuits feature an anti-leak barrier to keep blood from dispersing in the water.

Yes, they are very effective and reliable. You can wear it without fear of leaks or stains. Currently, menstrual swimsuits are most effective for so-called light to medium menstrual flows.

If your teen experiences heavy flow periods, we recommend wearing a menstrual cup in addition to the swimsuit to ensure the flow is fully contained.

The **period bikini bottom** can be worn for several hours. It all depends on how heavy your flow is. We recommend not staying in a wet swimsuit for too long. It creates an environment that encourages certain bacteria to grow. This advice also applies to regular swimsuits.

Specially designed for teens who swim and have a light to medium flow, reviews of our menstrual swimsuits for teens are very positive. Louloucup bikinis offer absorbent protection in the crotch area, unbeatable comfort and great freedom of movement.

• then put it in the washing machine on a short cycle at 30°C ideally (just like period underwear),

• air-dry it and avoid the tumble dryer.
