Question 1

How does Eco Period's technology work?

Accepted Answer

Eco Period underwear and swimwear use EcoTech 4 Layer Technology: a body-hugging wicking layer keeps you dry, a middle absorbent layer of organic cotton or bamboo fibres draws in moisture, a liquid-impermeable outer membrane stops leaks while staying breathable, and a base layer of breathable fabric holds it all together.

Question 2

How do Eco Period Undies work?

Accepted Answer

Eco Period underwear absorbs your period using odor-controlling, super-absorbent, leak-resistant 4-layer technology that keeps you fresh and dry.

Question 3

How do I choose the right underwear size?

Accepted Answer

Choose your normal size, or a size larger for a more generous fit. Use the size chart based on hip and waist measurements to confirm the best fit.

Question 4

Can I wear Eco Period Undies alone with no tampons or backup?

Accepted Answer

Yes, eco briefs are designed to be worn alone with no tampons required. A menstrual cup can be worn alongside them to extend wear time. Choose heavy or super absorbency for heavy flow days, moderate or light for lighter days.

Question 5

How many pairs of period underwear will I need?

Accepted Answer

This depends on flow, wash frequency, and period length. A 6 pack bundle is a good starting point. Change underwear when you feel wetness to avoid irritation. Heavy absorbency underwear holds 3 to 4 tampons or 20 to 40ml of fluid, super underwear holds up to 60ml.

Question 6

Are period underwear hygienic?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Natural fibres like organic cotton and bamboo against the skin are breathable and help neutralise odours and bacteria. The super absorbent core keeps you dry and feeling fresh.

Question 7

Can eco period undies be used for incontinence?

Accepted Answer

Yes, particularly the Orgaknix Super absorbency range, which holds approximately 40 to 60ml of fluid. The Invisi seamless range is also suitable for bladder leaks with no visible panty line.

Question 8

Can period underwear be worn swimming?

Accepted Answer

Standard period underwear is not designed for swimming. Eco Period Swimwear is a dedicated range made from recycled nylon, designed for light to moderate flows, with a waterproof outer and leakproof inner gusset for wear in the pool or ocean.

Question 9

I have sensitive skin. Will period underwear irritate me?

Accepted Answer

The layer against your skin in Orgaknix underwear is soft, natural, breathable organic cotton, tested to ensure no harmful substances are present. Monitor your flow and change frequently, when you no longer feel dry. Wash garments before use with a natural, fragrance-free detergent.

Question 10

What's the difference between cotton and organic cotton?

Accepted Answer

Organic cotton farming avoids synthetic fertilisers and harmful pesticides, is more environmentally friendly, produces softer and stronger fibres, is more durable over time, and is more comfortable against the skin.

Question 11

Why do you use organic cotton and not bamboo?

Accepted Answer

Organic cotton is denser, more luxe, and more durable, holding its shape better than bamboo viscose over time. Bamboo viscose production also involves chemicals like caustic soda, making it a semi-synthetic fibre, whereas organic cotton is a natural fibre.

Question 12

How many disposable menstrual products will I save from landfill?

Accepted Answer

More than 12 billion pads and tampons are thrown out every year worldwide, and the average person uses 11,000 pads, tampons, and panty liners in their lifetime.

Question 13

Are period underwear safe and free of harmful chemicals?

Accepted Answer

Eco Period fabrics have passed testing for hazardous materials. Organic cotton used is GOTS certified. Products do not contain harmful plastics, PFAS, or silver additives, and the leakproof layer is safety-tested TPU.

Question 14

How does Period Swimwear work?

Accepted Answer

Eco Period swimwear uses absorbent, moisture-wicking layers to manage menstrual flow, with a water-resistant outer that keeps pool or ocean water from entering the gusset. No tampons required and no swelling in water.

Question 15

Does period swimwear look bulky, like a nappy?

Accepted Answer

No. The absorbent liner is ultra-thin and sits flat, looking and feeling like a normal swimsuit, not padded or visible under the fabric.

Question 16

Will blood leak into the pool or ocean when I'm swimming?

Accepted Answer

No, when properly fitted. The water-repellent outer keeps pool or ocean water from seeping in, while the inner gusset holds your flow inside the lining, both in the water and once you're out.

Question 17

Where can I buy period swimwear in stores?

Accepted Answer

Eco Period has stockists around Australia. Ordering directly online with express post typically arrives within 1 to 3 business days.

Question 18

How comfortable are period underwear and swimwear to wear?

Accepted Answer

Designed for a snug yet breathable fit that quickly absorbs flow to keep you dry. Wash before first wear to activate the technology and prime it for use.

Question 19

Are Eco Period products true to size?

Accepted Answer

Eco Period underwear and swimwear come in various sizes to accommodate different body shapes, including teen options and sizes 6 to 26 for adults. Use product filters on collection pages to find your size and style.

Question 20

What level of absorbency do these products offer?

Accepted Answer

Eco Period underwear and swimwear offer protection from light to heavy flow. Typically change every 8 to 12 hours, or every 4 hours on heavy days. See the Know Your Flow page for guidance on which absorbency to choose.

Question 21

How durable are Eco Period garments?

Accepted Answer

Built to last with high-quality materials that withstand multiple washes. With monthly use, expect at least 1 to 2 years from a pair of period underwear. Period swimwear has chlorine-resistant treatments but is not quite as durable as polyester.

Question 22

Are the materials breathable and moisture-wicking?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Eco Period underwear and swimwear are crafted from breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics for comfort during activity or swimming. Eco Pads use DryTouch tech fabric to absorb moisture away from the body.

Question 23

Do Eco Period products control odour?

Accepted Answer

Yes, through natural fibres against the skin and locking flow into the core to control the release of odour, keeping you fresh throughout the day.

Question 24

How easy are period undies and swimwear to clean?

Accepted Answer

Machine washable, ideally in a garment bag, then line-dried. Rinse well before machine washing and use a liquid natural detergent with cold water.

Question 25

How discreet are period underwear and swimwear under clothing?

Accepted Answer

Designed to be seamless and invisible under clothing. Moderate or light absorbency seamless styles are best for daytime discretion. Boyshorts have slightly more bulk, suited to sleeping on heavy flow nights.

Question 26

Is period underwear cost-effective compared to pads or tampons?

Accepted Answer

Yes, over the long run. As an example, 10 pairs of period underwear at $25 each is a one-time $250 investment that can be reused for two years, compared to roughly $336 in disposable pads and tampons over the same period.

Question 27

How reliable is the leakage protection?

Accepted Answer

Eco Period undies and swimwear are designed and tested for reliable leakage protection, backed by hundreds of positive customer reviews.

Question 28

Can period underwear and swimwear handle sport and activity?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with specialised styles for activities including dance, swimming, gym, and running. Seamless styles work well under activewear.

Question 29

Can I use period underwear or swimwear with a cup or tampon for extra protection?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Eco Period underwear and swimwear can be used alone or alongside other menstrual products for added protection and peace of mind.

Question 30

How much fluid can Eco Pads hold?

Accepted Answer

Eco Pads come in three sizes: Small liners (20cm, hold 30 to 40ml), Regular pads (26cm, hold 50 to 90ml), and Large overnight pads (33cm, hold 80 to 100ml). These figures are the saturation point, the pad's top layer stays feeling dry until then.

Question 31

Will Eco cloth pads irritate sensitive skin?

Accepted Answer

Eco Pads use a charcoal bamboo layer against the skin, independently safety tested with no harmful heavy metals or chemicals. Monitor your flow and change every 3 to 4 hours, or up to 10 hours, and wash before use with a natural, fragrance-free detergent.

Question 32

How do Eco Pads stay in place without sticky adhesive?

Accepted Answer

They fold around your underwear gusset and fasten securely underneath with press studs. Choosing underwear with a snug, wider gusset helps them sit properly.

Question 33

Do Eco Pads slip or shift during the day?

Accepted Answer

Not when paired with well-fitted underwear. The textured backing fabric grips the underwear material, and a snug gusset stops movement.

Question 34

Are cloth pads better for sensitive skin than disposables?

Accepted Answer

Many people find them so. Unlike disposable pads, Eco Pads are free from plastics, synthetic fragrance, and bleaching agents, a popular choice for anyone prone to irritation or rashes.

Question 35

How many Eco Pads do I need for a cycle?

Accepted Answer

Most people keep a stash of 6 to 12, depending on cycle length, flow, and how often they're doing laundry.

Question 36

How do I wash my Eco Pads?

Accepted Answer

Rinse in cold water straight after use until the water runs clear, then machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle. Line dry in the sun where possible, avoid the dryer, and never use fabric softener as it reduces absorbency.

Question 37

How does the Eco Period Cup work?

Accepted Answer

The cup sits low in the vaginal canal and creates a light seal against the vaginal walls, holding it securely through movement, exercise, and sleep. Made from medical grade silicone, it can be worn for up to 12 hours depending on flow.

Question 38

Can a menstrual cup get lost inside me?

Accepted Answer

No. The cervix forms a barrier at the top of the vagina with an opening only a few millimetres wide, the cup can't pass through it.

Question 39

How do I remove a menstrual cup without discomfort?

Accepted Answer

Pinch the base of the cup first to break the seal, then slide it out. Pulling on the stem alone without breaking the seal causes resistance and discomfort.

Question 40

Can I use a menstrual cup if I have an IUD?

Accepted Answer

Check with your doctor or gynaecologist before switching to a cup if you have an IUD. If using both, always break the seal fully before removing the cup and keep track of the IUD strings so they don't get caught in the rim.

Question 41

How do I pick the right menstrual cup size?

Accepted Answer

The Eco Period Cup comes in XS, S, and L. XS suits younger or first-time users, S suits most adults, and L suits heavier flow or after vaginal birth. If between sizes, sizing down is usually more comfortable.

Question 42

How does the Eco Period Disc stay in place without suction?

Accepted Answer

It sits higher than a cup, in the vaginal fornix just below the cervix. The back edge tucks behind the cervix and the front edge rests against the pubic bone, holding it securely without needing a seal.

Question 43

Can you have sex while wearing a period disc?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Because it sits high and clear of the vaginal canal, penetrative sex is mess-free with a disc in. A disc is not birth control or STI protection.

Question 44

What is auto-dumping with a period disc?

Accepted Answer

This is when pressure, such as sitting on the toilet or bearing down, briefly shifts the front rim off the pubic bone and releases collected fluid. It's a normal part of how the disc works, not a fault, and it settles back into place once you stand.

Question 45

Are discs easier to insert and remove than cups?

Accepted Answer

Many people find them easier. A disc is squeezed flat like a tampon to insert rather than needing to pop open and seal. Look for a design with a pull tab or notch grip for easy removal.

Question 46

Do period discs hold more than menstrual cups?

Accepted Answer

Yes, generally. Because of their wider diameter and higher placement, discs typically hold more than a standard cup.

Question 47

What's the difference between a menstrual cup and a period disc?

Accepted Answer

A cup sits lower in the vaginal canal and uses a suction seal to stay in place, removed by pinching the base. A disc sits higher in the fornix below the cervix, held by the pubic bone, removed by hooking the rim or tab. Cup sizing depends more on cervix height, while one disc size fits most.

Question 48

How do I clean a menstrual cup or disc during my period?

Accepted Answer

Rinse or wash with warm water and a fragrance-free, pH-balanced soap, or a dedicated cup wash, every time you empty it, roughly every 8 to 12 hours.

Question 49

How do I sanitise a menstrual cup or disc between cycles?

Accepted Answer

Boil in a pot of water for 5 to 10 minutes, or use the Microwaveable Menstrual Cup Steriliser for a faster option, under 2 minutes. Store in a breathable cotton pouch, never sealed in airtight plastic.

Question 51

Question 57

Are yoni eggs suitable for everyone?

Accepted Answer

Question 58

Do yoni eggs come with instructions for use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Love Stone yoni eggs come with detailed instructions on how to insert, use, and care for them.

Question 59

What are Love Stone Yoni Wands used for?

Accepted Answer

They're a tool for personal practice, pelvic floor connection, body awareness, and self-massage rituals. Each wand is a single piece of polished crystal.

Question 60

What's the difference between the straight wands and the Curve Crystal Wands?

Accepted Answer

The straight wands, in Rose Quartz, Obsidian, Aventurine, and Amethyst, are a simple entry point. The Love Stone Curve Crystal Wands are a larger, more considered piece in Rose Quartz or Obsidian, in an 18x4cm wide or 19cm curved design, shaped for a different angle of use in your practice.

Question 61

Which yoni wand stone should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Rose Quartz is associated with self-love and gentleness. Obsidian is associated with grounding and protection. Choose based on the intention you want to bring to your practice.

Question 62

How do I clean and store my yoni wand?

Accepted Answer

Wash with mild soap and warm water before and after each use, then store somewhere clean and dry.

Question 63

What exactly is yoni steaming?

Accepted Answer

Yoni steaming, also known as vaginal steaming, involves sitting over a pot of steaming water infused with herbs, believed to support feminine wellness, menstrual health, fertility, and overall wellbeing.

Question 64

Is yoni steaming safe?

Accepted Answer

When done correctly with the right herbs and a comfortable temperature, yoni steaming can be safe and beneficial. Avoid extended steaming periods.
