The signature Classic Bikini Period Swimwear is your go-to style for swimming on your period. This Bikini is one of our most-loved styles, and the perfect way to start your journey.
The Tie-side Bikini period swim bottoms feature adjustable tie sides for the perfect fit, while still maintaining the high tech leakproof performance. This style features a higher waist and high-cut leg.
CARE: Rinse first, gentle cold machine wash, hang to dry, reuse, and repeat.
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.

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.
