The postpartum period swimsuit, or maternity swimsuit, turns out to be an excellent protection for anyone who has recently given birth. After childbirth and with summer approaching, you may not want to use tampons or a cup, and that’s completely normal. Always ask your midwife or gynaecologist for advice before using internal period protection again.

Pool sessions, lazy days at the beach, between dips and sunbathing, new mums deserve effective, high-quality menstrual swim lingerie!

After the postpartum period panty, discover the postpartum period swimsuit. At Louloucup, we offer several reusable, washable period products: swimsuits, cups, and panties. These products are designed for menstruation, but they’re also perfectly suited to the post‑birth, postpartum period!

So come and discover with us a fantastic product that can truly change your summer! Because yes, postpartum period swimsuits give you leak‑free, irritation‑free, discomfort‑free swim sessions. And we’re sure that new mums in the middle of their postpartum recovery will really appreciate these reliable, absorbent, and comfortable protections. In the thick of motherhood, between breastfeeding and changing nappies, buying an absorbent, comfortable postpartum period swimsuit is far from a luxury.

Discover our menstrual swimsuits now for a confident return to the pool after baby’s birth, with no worries about leaks or body image.

💦 Top 5 reasons to buy a postpartum menstrual swimsuit

During the postpartum period, discharge and bleeding are often irregular and unpredictable (lochia, light bleeding, then full return of your period). You therefore need suitable period protection. What are the options for new mums? Internal products such as menstrual cups or tampons are often unsuitable because they’re not recommended. Your intimate area needs rest in the weeks and months following childbirth. External period protection is therefore more appropriate. Discover the period swimsuit, the swim version of the period panty. The concept is the same: allowing women to experience their periods more peacefully thanks to underwear that is both absorbent and comfortable, invisible and soft! Yes, it’s possible!

n°1. Absorption and leakproof technology

The Louloucup postpartum period swimsuit absorbs and manages a light to medium menstrual flow perfectly. You can therefore keep your swimsuit on for several hours, as all the swimsuits in the range have an absorption capacity equivalent to 2.5 tampons.

If you have a heavy or very heavy flow, pay closer attention to your swimsuit and how you feel, and don’t keep it on as long. If you’re worried about leaks and can do so, don’t hesitate to use a menstrual cup as well.

Post‑birth period swimsuits are the perfect replacement for disposable tampons at the pool. Several layers of technical fabrics ensure both flawless absorption and leak‑proof protection. The absorbent layer in the crotch area holds menstrual blood without letting it spread into the water. Inside, the fabric absorbs your flow; outside, the fabric is waterproof and prevents menstrual blood from diluting into the water. Result: zero leaks!

No. 2. Ultra comfortable

Far more comfortable than a tampon, menstrual swimwear:

  • The Louloucup period swimsuit is a well-cut swim brief that fits beautifully on the body.
  • This type of swimsuit respects your body and curves; it doesn’t dig in or feel tight. 
  • This kind of bikini doesn’t irritate and doesn’t feel uncomfortable the way a tampon can. In short, it’s pure joy!

n°3. High-quality swim lingerie

The Louloucup postpartum menstrual swimsuit isn’t just another bikini you forget about after one summer. When properly cared for, it lasts for years. High quality with neat finishes, the elastics won’t snap after a year because of chlorinated or salty water and sun exposure! Much more than a swimsuit, it’s a protection you’ll love wearing during your postpartum and again during your periods in the summers to come. 

What a joy to enjoy baby’s first swims in complete safety thanks to postpartum menstrual swimwear!

n°4. Total discretion

These washable period swim briefs remain thin despite their ability to absorb menstrual flow. The pad also doesn’t swell on contact with water. There’s nothing to worry about. No one can tell you’re wearing a postpartum period swimsuit.

n°5. A cost-effective, quickly profitable protection

A menstrual protection like a swimsuit, cup or period panties is a super cost-effective purchase! This kind of washable protection saves you from spending money over and over again on boxes of tampons and packs of pads!


A Louloucup postpartum menstrual swimsuit costs €28.90 before the automatic custom bundle discount. So when you order your postpartum menstrual swimsuit and add panties, a cup or other products (it’s entirely up to you), you can enjoy reduced prices. The more items you add to your cart, the lower the unit price of each product. 

✣ In a nutshell: the postpartum menstrual swimsuit is absorbent, leakproof, super discreet, comfortable and economical. It’s also healthier than a tampon, non-irritating and made with clean materials. 

💦 Postpartum menstrual swimsuit: long-lasting, hygienic protection

Protection you can feel pretty in

The postpartum one-piece swimsuit needs to be both effective (it must absorb without saturating) and well cut to flatter your figure. After pregnancy and childbirth, new mums are often very critical of their bodies. The Louloucup post-pregnancy swimsuit should help mums feel better about themselves!

With a flattering cut, high waist, black color and well-placed seams, the right postpartum menstrual swimsuit smooths out insecurities while providing the best protection.

Eco‑friendly intimate protection

We mustn’t forget a major advantage: unlike tampons, which are thrown away, a post‑birth swimsuit can be washed and reused for many years. It’s durable, washable, and eco‑friendly. It’s a real plus for the planet and the environment. As eco‑friendly, durable, washable intimate protection, the cup also has a special place. However, right after giving birth, a menstrual cup is not always recommended. The swimsuit is a healthy period protection with no health risks. It’s also very cost‑effective. The price of reusable postpartum period products is a real topic, but they should be seen as a genuine investment that quickly pays for itself. ✣ To sum up: with a period swimsuit, there’s zero body hang‑ups! It’s well cut so you can feel good in your body. It’s also an affordable and eco‑friendly period protection option.

💦 Postpartum menstrual swimsuits: Noa & Laura

Looking for a stylish postpartum menstrual swimsuit, perfect for returning to the pool with complete peace of mind and confidence?

During the postpartum period and early motherhood, reliability and comfort are key. These are two qualities our two must-have Louloucup menstrual swimsuits offer: the Noa and Laura models.

The Noa one‑piece period swimsuit

The Noa one-piece menstrual swimsuit from Louloucup is perfect for new mums.

Its main quality? Without a doubt, its shape and cut. This black one-piece swimsuit is elegant, understated, and discreet while still feminine. It’s reliable, absorbent, and comfortable. It’s not high-cut. You feel incredibly good wearing it.

This swimsuit will delight all new moms looking for a one-piece style. After leaving the pool or beach, you can easily wear it with your beach dress or sarong. It perfectly replaces a bodysuit while being highly absorbent!


The Noa product is wireless. It’s comfortable and allows for easy breastfeeding. The bust is supported without being compressed. The cup sizes are elastic enough to fit most bust measurements.

The Noa model is available from size XS to XL. Its price is set at €28.90, but it decreases if you add other Louloucup products to your cart.

Laura menstrual bikini bottom

The Laura menstrual swimsuit bottom from Louloucup is plain black. It has the advantage of pairing with any swimsuit top without any fashion faux pas!

Its main feature? Its high waist, of course, which will delight all moms who want to hide their little post-pregnancy belly. This Louloucup menstrual swimsuit bottom is black and elegant. Its high waist accentuates and firms the waistline. It’s the postpartum slimming swimsuit.

The detail that leaves no one indifferent? The lacing at the back, of course! This small lace-up at the lower back adds a sexy touch to your overall look.


Just like the postpartum Noa swimsuit, the Laura swimsuit has absorption equivalent to two tampons. It’s therefore perfect for women with a light or normal flow.

The Laura swim bottom is priced at €28.90. It’s eligible for the Louloucup pack, and its price can decrease if you add several other Louloucup products to your cart. With 5 Louloucup products in your cart, your menstrual swimsuit costs €22.90.


The very good news? This model is available from size XS to XXL.

We remind you that for all your Louloucup orders, shipping is free.

BONUS – HOW TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR POSTPARTUM MENSTRUAL SWIMSUIT

But here are the key things to remember to take good care of your postpartum menstrual swimsuit and how to keep it for a long time:

  1. Always rinse it in cool, clear water to remove the menstrual flow trapped in the absorbent core. This is an essential first step to prevent the fibers from clogging and saturating.
  2. Wash it by hand with a gentle detergent or in the machine on a short cycle at a maximum of 30°C.
