One of our most frequently asked questions is who is period underwear best for?
While it would be easy (and mostly true) to effortlessly throw out a blanket statement around period underwear being best for all, we also know that period care is personal. What feels supportive, comfortable, and aligned for one person may look completely different for another, and that's okay. We're big believers that your cycle should work with your life, not against it.
So let's answer the question: Period underwear is best…
For Those Taking a More Holistic Approach
A lot of traditional period products can leave you feeling disconnected from your body. Dryness, discomfort, irritation, and the feeling of constantly needing to change products throughout the day are only a few of the concerns you may be experiencing.
Period underwear offers a different experience. One that feels more gentle, breathable, and supportive. Styles like our Shortie (Heavy Flow) and Keep it Brief, Brief are made with a 95% cotton gusset that lets your body breathe, which many women find more comfortable throughout their cycle.
For Those Wanting a More Eco-Conscious Option
Have you ever looked at the amount of disposable products used during a single cycle and sighed in frustration? You're not alone.
Designed to be washed and reworn again and again, period underwear helps reduce unnecessary single-use waste, allowing you to care for your body while also being a little kinder to the planet.
It's a small shift that can make a meaningful impact over time, both personally and environmentally. That's a win-win.
For Those Interested in Free Bleeding
Ah, to be free… We totally get that free bleeding is a bit of a hot take. To be fair, free bleeding looks different for so many people.
For some, it's a fully natural and holistic approach to their cycle and allows for a deeper connection with self and womanhood. For others, it simply means preferring to experience their period without the feeling of internal products or constant interruption throughout the day.
Period underwear creates a supportive middle ground. Absorbency and protection while still allowing your body to flow naturally.
New to free bleeding? We recommend trying the Shortie (Medium Flow) for a gentle experience that supports your overall wellbeing.
For Anyone Craving More Comfort During Their Cycle
At the end of the day, period underwear is really for anyone wanting to feel more comfortable, more supported, and more connected to themselves during their cycle.
That's who period underwear is truly for: women who are looking to embrace their period in a way that feels authentically like them.
