How to choose your menstrual panties?
1. Understanding your flow
Every woman has a different flow, and it can change depending on the cycle, age, contraception method, sport practiced, or diet.
Losses during a cycle are measured in ml: an average flow corresponds on average to 40ml and a heavy flow to an average of 80ml.
As you have probably noticed, these losses are not constant: in fact, the 2nd and 3rd days are usually the heaviest!
Our models for medium flow have an absorption capacity of 30ml, equivalent to 2 regular tampons. Our models for heavy flow have an absorption capacity of 58ml, equivalent to 4 regular tampons and 2 super tampons. Be aware that the frequency and speed of flow can saturate the panties faster than expected.
For the first days of your period, choose a model for heavy flow, and for the middle and end of your period, a model for medium or light flow.
2. Choose your shape
It's up to you to choose the style in which you feel best: panties, shorty, high-waisted, thong… All our models are seamless and offer different absorption capacities. You can use the photos below to get an idea of the shape of our styles.
-
Panties
The cut of the panties is more scooped at the hips and buttocks. They are available for medium and heavy flow in the microfiber and cotton range, for adults and teens.
-
Briefs
The shorty cut is available for medium flow and comes in adult and Girls sizes. It offers more coverage on the hips and buttocks.
-
High-waisted panties
The high waist is more supportive and will rise towards the navel, hugging your curves. Perfect for defined waists.
-
Thong
And the thong will be ideal for the beginning and end of the cycle. It is made for those who like very high-cut styles!
3. Find your size
Our models fit true to size. We therefore recommend choosing the size you usually wear. It is important that the absorbent area fits well to support all your movements and prevent leaks.
Our microfiber range uses a main material made of slightly shaping microfiber, especially when first worn. This material tends to soften from the first day and then stays in place.
Our teen range is specially designed for younger body shapes where the hips are not yet defined. For teenage girls who are already developed, we recommend checking our size charts to see which range, teen or adult, will suit best!
For more details, feel free to consult the size charts on each product page.
