5 Things I Wish I Knew Before Trying Period Underwear

Confidence, comfort, and a total game-changer for your cycle.

Switching to reusable period underwear felt intimidating at first — would they leak? Would they feel bulky? Would I even know how to clean them properly?

But once I took the leap, I realised how much simpler and more empowering my period could be.

Here are five things I wish I’d known earlier — so you can skip the stress and flow right into comfort and confidence.

1. They Don’t Feel Like Nappies (Promise!)

One of the biggest myths? That period undies are thick, bulky, and feel like wearing a pad all day.
In reality, most styles (especially ours) feel just like regular underwear.
✔️ Seamless, soft organic cotton
✔️ No bunching or stiffness
✔️ Just comfy, breathable support

You’ll honestly forget you’re wearing them.

2. They Really Work (Even on Heavy Days)

Yes, really. Our super absorbent styles hold up to 60ml of fluid — that’s around 10–12 tampons' worth!
We use layered tech to trap moisture, lock in odour, and keep you feeling dry all day (or night).
No leaks. No worries. Just freedom to live your life.

3. They’re So Easy to Wash

You don’t need a science lab or special soap.
Just follow our 3-step method:

  1. Rinse in cold water after use

  2. Machine wash (cold, gentle cycle)

  3. Air dry — no tumble drying needed

That’s it. No soaking, no scrubbing, no stress.

4. They Save You Money (And Panic!)

Once you build a small stash, you’ll never have to do a 9pm dash for pads again.
Reusable undies last for over 100 washes, meaning you’ll save hundreds of dollars (and disposables!) over time.

Bonus: they’re ready when your cycle surprises you — no rummaging through drawers.

5. They Make You Feel Empowered

There’s something powerful about choosing period care that supports your body and the planet.
Reusable period underwear isn’t just sustainable — it’s liberating.
It’s a reminder that your cycle is normal, natural, and deserves care that feels good.
