Five pairs of Orgaknix High Waist period underwear in one pack. All three options below use the same organic cotton next-to-skin construction and EcoTech 4-layer leakproof system. The difference is gusset coverage and leg opening, so choose based on when and how you bleed.
Super x5 — $127.50
5 x Black Super High Waist · All sizes available (limited supply, more arriving soon)
Our newest and most comprehensive design. The gusset runs from the front waist seam all the way to the back waist seam, giving full front-to-back coverage. Higher leg opening than the Heavy. Best for front bleeders, overnight wear, heavy flow and light bladder leaks. This is the style we will be stocking ongoing as we phase out the Heavy.
Mixed — $115
3 x Black Heavy Overnight + 2 x Beige Moderate-Heavy · Available in M, 3XL and 4XL only
The black Heavy pairs have a gusset that runs full length up the back and halfway up the front, with a lower leg opening than the Super. Reliable overnight and heavy flow coverage. The two beige Moderate-Heavy pairs have solid daytime coverage and are ideal for lighter days, heavy daytime flow and light bladder leaks. A good all-round pack if you want coverage across different flow days. Please note: both styles in this pack are being discontinued, so stock is limited.
Moderate x5 — $105
3 x Black Moderate-Heavy + 2 x Beige Moderate-Heavy · Available in S, 3XL and 4XL only
The Moderate-Heavy gusset sits from just above the pubic bone to the tailbone, giving solid daytime coverage. Great for lighter flow days, heavy daytime wear and light bladder leaks. This style is being discontinued, so once current stock is gone it will not be restocked.

When your undies arrive, try them on over your regular, clean underwear before use to check the fit. Make sure to give them a wash before your first wear to improve the absorption performance.
Then to use the undies, simply wear them like you would with any of your other underwear.
How long you wear your underwear for will come down to personal preference and your flow. We recommend changing every 6-12 hours.
Washing period undies and period bikinis/ swimwear is simple and hassle-free.
They can be machine-washed (we recommend using a garment bag, cold water and liquid natural detergent), and then line-dried for best results.
We do recommend rinsing them well prior to popping them in the machine, however this isn't necessary.
Well, did you know more than 12 BILLION pads and tampons are thrown out every year worldwide? Let's break this down even further to see the impact you CAN make - the average woman alone uses 11,000 pads, tampons and panty liners in their lifetime. That’s a lot of landfill! It's time to make the switch to Eco Period, you won't look back.
Eco Period Australia underwear absorb your period.
Every pair is made with our signature technology that's odor-controlling, super-absorbent, and leak-resistant. This 4 layer technology works together to do it’s thing (aka keep you fresh and dry). Take a look at our How It Works page to learn more.
Yes, our period underwear has been designed to be worn alone, with no tampons or pads required. If you wish to wear a menstrual eco cup as well, this can extend the wear time of your eco briefs.
Also the length of time you can wear each pair depends on your flow.
As a general rule, we recommend choosing heavy or super absorbency for your heavy flow days and moderate or light for your lighter days.
This comes down to personal preference and your flow, however you can wear a pair of undies for as long as 24 hours. We find most of our customers like to change every 8-16 hours. There's no right or wrong here!
Our range of period underwear range from Super > Light. Scroll down to check out our Absorbency Guide here to decide which level is right for you.
Firstly, work out how many days of your cycle are heavy and moderate/light. Then, you can calculate the number of briefs you will need using this guide:
Heavy flow days:
Moderate/light flow days:
So you can allow ample time for washing + drying, we suggest buying double the amount you calculate above, so you're never caught out without a clean pair to wear!
If you use period cups or pads you might not need as many pairs of period underwear.
Browse our collection of eco-pads and menstrual cups to grow your eco-friendly period solutions.
If you're often on the move and wish to change your underwear, we recommend getting a wetbag for your used underwear to store them before you're able to wash them.
Eco Period offers beautifully crafted, quality period garments that are made to last, and are just as good for your body as they are for the environment.
We are passionate about making a difference through our products and hope to help you transition (or continue) your journey towards zero waste, eco and organic period solutions.
