Pourquoi porter un string menstruel ? Est-ce que ça ne fuira pas ?
Si vous êtes à l'aise de porter un string normalement, vous apprécierez alors la sensation des tongs menstruelles, qui sont bonnes pour les jours où vous attendez vos règles ou pour les derniers jours de votre cycle, si vous ressentez des taches ou de légères pertes.
L'Orgaknix Bikini comprend la technologie EcoTech 4 Layer qui offre une protection pour les flux légers à modérés (10-15 ml).
Eco Period Australie Série Orgaknix a subi des tests et des certifications approfondis conformément aux directives OEKO-TEX et aux informations d'identification GOTS pour la sécurité des matériaux et la certification biologique.
Cela signifie que nos culottes menstruelles sont sûres, respectueuses de l’environnement et socialement responsables.
Disponible en Pêche, Noir et Menthe Fraîche (voir autres couleurs dans la collection orgaknix).

Nous déconseillons généralement de les porter plus de 12 heures, pour des raisons d'hygiène.
- Facile à laver : il suffit de les rincer à l'eau froide jusqu'à ce que l'eau soit claire, puis de les sécher dans un seau ou de les tremper dans l'eau froide avec un détergent naturel jusqu'au moment de les laver. Laver à la main ou dans une trousse de lavage en machine - à l'eau froide. Laver avec d'autres couleurs foncées. Suspendre pour sécher.
- Essayez-les sur vos sous-vêtements propres habituels avant utilisation pour vérifier l'ajustement. Ensuite, lavez-les avant de les porter. Le lavage les apprête d’abord et améliore les performances d’absorption.

What's to love about our String en dentelle Orgaknix?
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.
Think your individual decisions won't make a difference?
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.
IS IT YOUR FIRST TIME TRYING REUSABLE PERIOD CARE?
Once you start, you'll never go back to traditional single-use period care products again!

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:
- Within a 24 hour period, we'd recommend changing 2-3 times.
- Suggested change times - morning, midday (optional if your flow is heavy) and at the end of the day.
Moderate/light flow days:
- Within a 24 hour period, we'd recommend changing 1-2 times.
- Suggested change times - morning and at the end of the day.
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.
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.
We recommended washing your undies in a wash bag to protect garments in the washing machine and prolong their lifespan.

SUPER
●●●●● 30-60ml
The lining is thicker and extends to the back waist seam, so it covers you for overnights.
HEAVY
●●●●○ 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.
MODERATE/HEAVY
●●●○○ 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).
MODERATE
●●○○○ 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.
LIGHT
●○○○○ 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.
