Fabric Composition: Organic cotton outer fabric and cotton/poly mesh against the skin. Invisible inner leakproof and absorbent layers (polyester/PUL).
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.
Step 1 Wash your Eco Period underwear before wearing / using them. This activates the EcoTech and primes it for use.
Step 2, After wearing, rinse in cold water until the blood/ fluids are mostly removed. You can do this in the shower to save water, but just do it before the water heats up past 30 degrees, as heat will set stains into the fabrics.
Step 3. Pop your undies into a delicates wash bag and into the washing machine on a cold wash. Use a liquid natural detergent.
No fabric softeners.
Step 4. Hang dry on the line outside. Line drying is best as it is kinder to the fabrics. Just don't leave them out on the line for days.
Eco Period underwear should NEVER:
Be cleansed with harsh detergents (these abrade and break down clothes which shortens their effectiveness and lifespan)
Be cleansed with fabric softeners (it's like fabric cholesterol and blocks the pathways in the fabric through which the liquid travels)
Be bleached (bleach kills everything, need we say more)
Be dry cleaned (putting the products into such a harsh environment with or without the added chemicals is bad)
Be washed in very hot water (heat breaks down the fibres and natural compounds that make these products so effective.
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.
ECOTECH 4 LAYER TECHNOLOGY
Eco Period underwear are as comfortable and functional as your favourite undergarment, but they can do much more: they feature an integrated membrane system in the crotch that draws in your period and leaks into the absorbent core and a final layer that prevents it from leaking through.
The internal skin-touch layer is made of soft, natural wicking fabrics, generally organic cotton or other natural fabrics. The middle layer is made up of specialised organic cotton, bamboo and microfibre that absorb moisture away like a sponge.
The outermost layer is a liquid-impermeable membrane that will not leak fluid, to protect you from leaking, unpleasant stains and sweat marks. In addition, this layer is also breathable, which prevents odours.
The final layer is your base underwear of breathable fabrics, which holds it all together.
Eco Period can help you if you are self managed or plan managed.
If you are a self-managed NDIS client, you can purchase Eco Period underwear or period swimwear from our website for your personal use, and then submit your invoice to claim back the cost under the NDIS scheme.
If you are plan managed NDIS client, we can prepare a preliminary quote/invoice and email to your plan manager for you. We can accept bank deposit from your plan manager. Please contact us on info@ecoperiod.com.au with your NDIS number and name and address and details of what products you would like to be included on your invoice.
You can check eligibility and apply for the NDIS through the NDIS website.

If you are an Australian Citizen or resident or permanent visa holder with a disability, the good news is you may be eligible for financial assistance through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). The NDIS can help to ease the monetary pressure of buying products to assist with disabilities.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is the new way of providing support for Australians with disability, their families and carers.
The NDIS will provide about 460,000 Australians under the age of 65 with a permanent and significant disability with the reasonable and necessary supports they need to live an ordinary life.
Who is eligible?
You are eligible for the NDIS, if you are:
You can find more information about the NDIS requirements here.
If you aged 65 years and over you will not be eligible for the NDIS. In this case, you will be assessed through the Commonwealth aged care system. For further information and to apply for an assessment refer to the My Aged Care website.
To determine your size, there are two ways to check:
1. Measure your best-fitting underwear or swimwear at home against the 'Half waist Flat Lay' measurements. This is the dimension of the top of the waist band of your underwear, when they are lying flat (note that a higher waist underwear will have a smaller half waist - so this is the half waist of a hipster/bikini/brief, not a high waist or midi).
2. Measure around your hips, so over your hip bones and check against the Hip measurements either below or on the specific size chart for your product.
If there is a discrepancy between your hip measurements and your flat lay measurements with our size chart, go with the flat lay measurements, as they represent the actual underwear you are buying and will be more accurate.
Always refer to the product specific size chart if there is one available (found at the top of the product page above the size selections), otherwise, refer to this chart below. If in doubt, please message us on chat function or email info@ecoperiod.com.au and we can discuss your needs.
(note that a higher waist underwear will have a smaller half waist - so this is the half waist flat lay measurement of a hipster/bikini/brief, not a high waist or midi).

That's a lot of landfill! It's time to make the switch to Eco Period Australia - 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!
Check out our Know Your Flow page for more guidance.
If you use period cups or pads you might not need as many pairs of period underwear.

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.
We recommended washing your undies in a wash bag to protect garments in the washing machine and prolong their lifespan.

Absorbency Guide
Check out the below guide to see how this level stacks up against our other products.
●●●●● 30-60ml
The lining is thicker and extends to the back waist seam, so it covers you for overnights.
●●●●○ 25-40ml
Choose Heavy absorbency if you have a heavy flow or for your heavy flow days or for moderate incontinence. The lining extends to the back waist seams, so it covers you for overnights or when laying down on your side and back.
●●●○○ 20-30ml
Perfect to use if your flow is moderate, so think 3rd or 4th day of your period. Also for light to moderate incontinence leaks. These undies will also cover you at night as the leakproof lining extends up to the back waist seam (a thinner layer than the heavy absorbency).
●●○○○ 15-20ml
Choose Moderate absorbency for day-time wear, active wear and for when you just don't need that extra panel of protection up the back. Suitable for flows from 15-25 ml. The lining is generally a little thinner too, so does not feel bulky.
●○○○○ 10-15ml
If your flow is light, or you are using as a backup, choose light absorbency. This will provide a leakproof function and some absorbency as a backup.
All cotton in our products is organically cultivated and comes from suppliers who are inspected and certified as part of the Control Union Certification program. This organization has established criteria for organic production according two certification programmes, GOTS or Organic Exchange Certification. Read more about Control Union here. Organic cotton is cotton grown without any chemical fertilizers or pesticides which is better for human health as well as nature. The organic cotton is different from conventional cotton in many respects, and the difference starts at the fibre stage.
The textile industry has historically been associated with environmentally harmful processing, animal welfare issues, and complex social compliance issues such as child labor, workers’ wages, benefits, fast fashion and health and safety. The demand for certified, sustainable products is growing rapidly. Eco Period works with manufacturers that use Control Union Certified certified organic, recycled and sustainable materials.
Many of Eco Period Australia's products are certified according to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100. OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 is an independent testing and certification system for textile products at all stages of production. OEKO-TEX® covers the production processes itself and includes the finishing. It certifies all types of fabrics but also includes thread, press buttons, elastics, labels etc. We believe it is important to consider every environmental aspect and we are constantly looking for ways to reduce our environmental impact.
