Menstrual swimwear

Where to find menstrual swimwear?

You’d like to go swimming at the pool or the beach while on your period, and you’re wondering where to buy a period swimsuit? You’ll find the best menstrual swimwear for teens and women on Smoon Lingerie’s online store, specialized in period underwear.

It’s not always easy to find period swimwear in physical stores — even though a few well-known brands now offer them. However, our size guide will help you find the perfect fit on our website, and your order will be delivered within 3 to 6 days, with free shipping on orders over €100.

How can you go swimming on your period without using a tampon?

Swimming during your period can be a real source of stress for many women and girls. Whether at the beach or in the pool, it often feels like a real challenge.

But swimming without a tampon is absolutely possible thanks to a high-quality menstrual swimsuit that offers reliable support and protection.

Worried that switching from tampons to a period swimsuit means wearing something thick or bulky between the legs? Don’t be!

Your period-proof swimsuit doesn’t have any thick padding or unflattering layers — it’s a technical, well-designed garment that stays comfortable, flatters your figure, and effectively absorbs menstrual flow and even light bladder leaks.

What kind of swimsuit should you wear on your period?

What really matters when you have your period and want to go swimming is feeling secure, confident, and comfortable in your swimsuit.

That’s why menstrual swimwear is the best answer to the question: what swimsuit should you wear on your period — at the beach or in the pool?

Whether you prefer a simple bikini bottom or a one-piece swimsuit, it’s up to you to choose what best matches your style and the level of support you need.

How does a period bikini bottom work?

The concept of period swimwear is similar to that of period panties. A period swim brief — just like a one-piece period swimsuit — is made with ultra-absorbent fabrics that allow it to absorb menstrual flow while swimming.

This period swim brief works like a swim shorty for women or teens, perfect for relaxing on the beach or lounging by the pool.

Is a period swim brief as effective as a one-piece swimsuit?

The period swim brief is just as effective as the one-piece swimsuit — both are recommended for medium flow. While the one-piece period swimsuit also offers a high-waisted fit, the period swim brief naturally shows a bit more of your stomach and sits just below the navel.

What are the benefits of menstrual swimwear?

The main advantage of menstrual swimwear is that it allows you to swim freely during your period without worrying about leaks. In addition, it’s reusable, making it a more eco-friendly alternative to disposable menstrual products.

There are menstrual swimwear options for women and teens alike. Our medium-flow period swimsuits are available in both bikini bottom and one-piece styles, so you can choose the fit that suits you best.

The menstrual swimsuit for menstruation, what are we talking about?

Just like menstrual panties, SMOON menstrual swimsuits absorb menstrual flow during periods. As washable and reusable hygiene protection, they can also absorb heavy vaginal discharge during the cycle or occasional urinary leaks.

Offering reliable and effective period protection in any circumstance, SMOON menstrual swimsuits are therefore intended for:

  • all swimmers
  • pregnant women
  • and young mothers.

Ideal for sunbathing or swimming at the beach or pool during your period, these menstrual swimsuits are suitable for medium and light flows. For very heavy flow, a menstrual cup can be worn as a complement. Thanks to their super innovative materials, SMOON absorbent swimsuits ensure maximum comfort.

Indeed, only the crotch area is made of several layers of fabric that do not swell when in contact with water. The rest of the menstrual swimsuit is not lined. For you, this guarantees optimal waterproof protection offering an ultra-reliable leak barrier!

How to wear your SMOON menstrual swimsuit?

The SMOON special menstrual swimsuit features an absorbent part made of 3 ultra-technical materials and a waterproof membrane that absorb and retain menstrual flow during periods.

Thus, the material in contact with the skin channels the blood to the absorbent part. The absorbent and antibacterial core captures menstrual flow and holds it back while preventing odors. Finally, the thin waterproof and breathable membrane of the menstrual swimsuit prevents leaks and maceration.

The absorption capacity of the SMOON swimsuit is perfectly suited for light and medium flows. Depending on the cycle phase, it can be worn without any risk of leaks or stains:

  • all day long for a light flow;
  • 6 hours for a medium flow;
  • 2 to 3 hours maximum for a heavy flow (or menorrhagia).

It is possible to wear a menstrual cup as a complement.

How to wash and care for your special menstrual swimsuit?

Like all the brand’s menstrual panties and lingerie, the SMOON special menstrual swimsuit can be washed:

  • By machine or by hand.
  • In cold or lukewarm water up to 30 °C.

After use in a pool or the sea, make sure to rinse the menstrual swimsuit in cold water. If you wish, you can soak it for a few minutes to a few hours in clear water. For washing, preferably use a mild, non-greasy soap or detergent. 

To preserve the qualities of the swimsuit’s draining fabric, avoid using fabric softener. For the same reasons, tumble drying is strongly discouraged. The good news? Your menstrual swimsuit dries quickly and odorlessly in the open air.

Can you combine another menstrual protection with your SMOON menstrual swimsuit?

The SMOON menstrual swimsuit can absorb between 15 and 20 ml. This absorption capacity corresponds to 2 regular tampons. In case of heavy flow, you can wear a menstrual cup or a tampon in addition to your women's menstrual swimsuit.

However, you cannot wear a sanitary pad or panty liner with your menstrual swimsuit: this would make the absorbent area of the crotch completely useless. Keep this in mind before swimming with your menstrual swimsuit in a pool.

What materials are used to make the SMOON menstrual swimsuit?

The SMOON menstrual swimsuit is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified: certificate CQ1285/2 and is made from technical fabrics for maximum comfort and optimal performance. Its draining, absorbent, and waterproof fibers contain no silver nanoparticles. For you, it’s the promise of a swimsuit that absorbs menstrual flow while respecting your health and nature, without silver nanoparticles. For you, it’s the promise of a swimsuit that absorbs menstrual flow while respecting your health and nature.

For the swimsuit crotch, we use an innovative material that wicks liquids to the absorbent layer and dries ultra-fast. It is made of hydrophilamide, polyamide, and elastane.

For the absorbent core, we favored a material capable of absorbing menstrual flow, urinary leaks, or vaginal discharge throughout the day.

This absorbent part of your period swimsuit is made of 100% polyester. For the waterproof membrane, we chose a breathable yet waterproof material to ensure the breathability of the absorbent swimsuit while preventing leaks underwater. The waterproof membrane is made of polyester and polyurethane.

Finally, the main material of the period swimsuit was selected for its softness and comfort, allowing it to move with you in any situation. It is made of polyamide and elastane.

All these materials used for the SMOON women's menstrual swimsuit are French and Italian. They are all REACH certified. None of them contain silver nanoparticles. The French brand SMOON menstrual swimsuit is made in Tunisia, globally recognized for its expertise in lingerie. This factory is regularly inspected to ensure that working conditions are properly respected.

Does the SMOON menstrual swimsuit fit all body types?

The SMOON special period swimsuit comes in six different sizes. To fit almost all body types, you will find it from size XS to size XXL. To help you find the period swimsuit size that suits you, here is a summary of the size correspondences:

  • XS corresponds to 34/36.
  • S corresponds to 36/38.
  • M corresponds to 38/40.
  • L corresponds to 40/42.
  • XL corresponds to 42/44.
  • XXL corresponds to 44/46.

Do SMOON menstrual swimsuits last a long time?

On average, the lifespan of a SMOON menstrual swimsuit is five years. Follow our care advice to be sure your menstrual swimsuit will accompany you through your next 65 menstrual cycles.

Here are the key points to remember to take care of your SMOON menstrual swimsuit.

  • Rinse the swimsuit in cold water.
  • Wash with a mild soap, but not greasy, or a neutral detergent.
  • Air dry.
  • Avoid fabric softeners.
  • Ban the spin cycle.
  • Avoid the tumble dryer.
  • Give up the iron.

The French brand of menstrual swimwear SMOON has chosen very high-quality materials, so your French menstrual swimsuit is made to last!
