Menstrual panties: for whom, why, and how to use them?
Super comfortable, eco-friendly, and economical. They are also stylish! The new responsible feminine hygiene products are on everyone's lips. A little guide to menstrual panties.
Menstrual panties: for whom?
The answer to this question is quite simple: menstrual panties are made for all menstruating people! Those who want a greener world, those who care about their health, those who are active, those who want to save money, and for all the fashion-conscious.
They are also recommended from the first period because of their ease of use and to get familiar with reusable products. And simply to have a peaceful and comfortable night, during the day as backup protection in case of very heavy flow, for new moms who have unexpected leaks and use them as postpartum panties, for teenagers, and if you experience spotting. There is also a selection of plus-size menstrual panties, designed for those seeking more comfort and support without compromising absorption. You can even use your panties outside of your period for white discharge or urinary leaks, or to absorb sweat during a workout.
Menstrual panties: why?
For your health
Since the invention of the sanitary pad by nurses during World War I—made of cotton strips, gauze, and rubber—there has been little innovation in period protection. Unfortunately, the industry turned it into a very lucrative market at the expense of women's real needs. This has led to misinformation about toxic products used in manufacturing or dangers related to internal protection. Think, for example, of recent cases of toxic shock syndrome. With menstrual panties, you are assured of wearing a healthy and natural protection, completely safe for your health!
For the planet
By reducing or eliminating disposable products, which account for 45 billion non-recyclable waste items worldwide, we also protect the environment.
For your wallet
You save money: a pair of menstrual panties lasts on average three years and costs between 30 and 40 euros. If you invest in 3 pairs for about a hundred euros, you come out ahead after one year! Indeed, a woman spends on average 90 euros per year on disposable products like tampons or pads.
For your comfort
Menstrual panties provide protection for 12 hours. No need to change every 3 hours! Moreover, our range comes in all styles, whether you prefer thongs, briefs, or high-waisted panties, you will find your favorite! Our menstrual underwear is seamless, so you barely feel them, you forget about them, and you can move freely. Whether you are sporty or not.
For a peaceful sleep, choose menstrual panties for the night, ideal for heavier flows and long nights.
To feel beautiful
Forget your old period panties. Menstrual panties offer simple or colorful but always feminine designs that flatter us. Like the Séléné panties from Smoon, very thin and seamless. Additionally, the materials used are breathable and antibacterial, making the panties odorless.
How do I use my period panties?
It's very simple. You can wear your washable panties up to 12 hours a day without changing. To wash them, rinse in cold water the same day before putting them in the machine with the rest of your laundry. A 30° program is enough ;) No worries, your panties won’t stain the rest of your laundry. Then air dry them. And invest in a few pairs at first so you can rotate. That’s all!
