Eco Briefs
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.
Our Orgaknix Super brief can hold up to 12 regular tampons’ worth of fluid (40-60mL). This is potentially the amount you would bleed over 24 hours.
Absorbency levels vary, depending on underwear style. We recommend trying them for the first time at home so you can see how they best work for your body and flow and refer to our Know Your Flow page for further guidance.
We recommend that you choose your normal size or if you like a generous fit, choose a size larger than your normal size.
Use our handy size chart to figure out your which size best fits you
according to your hip and waist measurements.
Yes, eco briefs were designed to be worn alone, with no tampons 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.
The number of briefs you need will depend on how heavy your flow is, how often you are washing the briefs and how many days your period lasts.
We suggest checking out the Know your Flow page for further guidance.
A good start is a 6 pack bundle. We have Mix and match bundles that you can choose your favourite styles and absorbencies for your needs.
It is important to change your underwear when you feel wetness, to avoid potential irritation from moisture. When you start to feel it, it is time to change.
You may prefer not to have to wash your underwear straight away (just rinse them and hang them over your shower or laundry or dry pail til ready to wash), and so you may need a larger bundle if you wish to wear eco briefs exclusively.
Our heavy absorbency underwear will hold 3-4 tampons or 20-40 ml of fluid, and that is any fluid, not just for periods, but also light leaks. Super underwear holds up
to 60 ml.
We recommend building your knowledge of your flow and your
confidence with the underwear slowly, test them out at home first and overnight so you can see how great they work!
We only use natural fibres against the skin, of organic cotton and bamboo, which are known for their breathability and ability to neutralise bad odours and bacteria. Because our underwear have a super absorbent core, it keeps you dry and feeling fresh.
Yes, particularly our Orgaknix Super
boyleg, bikini and high waist briefs, which holds approx. 40-60 ml of fluid and thus is suitable for moderate leaks.
We have developed two styles of Eco swim bikinis. One regular bikini cut and one high waisted. Made of recycled nylon for a planet friendly solution. Designed for light to moderate flows and can be worn in the pool or ocean.
In every pair of Eco Period Australia underwear, the layer that sits closest to your skin is soft, natural, breathable organic cotton . The rest of the tech is held in ultra-thin layers between that cotton interior and the leak-resistant barrier. Here are
the material breakdowns:
Body: 95% organic cotton, 5% elastane Gusset: 95% cotton, 5% elastane; middle breathable PUL
All fabrics are tested for harmful
substances against OEKO-TEX Standard 100.
The key factor in using eco briefs is to ensure that you monitor your flow and change frequently.
You should be changing when you no longer feel dry against the skin. This may be every 3-4 hours. If you experience a reaction, seek medical advice.
The other important factor in
avoiding reactions is to ensure you wash your garments before use using Castile
soap or another natural detergent with no fragrances or irritants. Continue to
wash your underwear and pads in natural detergent every wash.
Organic cotton is:
Healthy - Organic Cotton farming does
not use synthetic fertilisers, harmful pesticides or other dangerous chemicals
that can be harmful to your health. Environmentally-friendly -
Harmful chemicals are not used that would damage the soil, environment, and
workers. Cotton is a renewable resource. High Quality - Fibres are
softer and stronger as they are not broken down by chemical
processing. Durable - Not exposed to weakening
chemicals, Organic cotton will last many years, with proper care. Comfortable -
Natural fibres are comfortable to the touch. A comfortable feeling knowing that
chemicals are not touching the skin, and there is no harm to the environment.
Aside from the environmental benefits, the functional reason is because it is a denser fabric that is more luxe and durable. It holds its shape better and does not pill and break down as much as bamboo viscose over time.
More than 12 billion pads and tampons are thrown out every year worldwide, and the average person with a period uses 11,000 pads, tampons, and panty liners in their lifetime — that’s a lot of landfill!
Our underwear has undergone OEKO-TEX Standard 100 testing for hazardous materials
and passed the stringent testing, the Organic cotton we use in our briefs is GOTS certified. Our underwear does not contain harmful plastics or PFAS, and our leakproof layer is made of TPU which is safety tested and approved by OEKO-TEX standards.
EcoPads
All fabrics are tested for harmful
substances against OEKO-TEX Standard 100.
Eco Pads are made of a charcoal
bamboo layer against the skin that is 75% charcoal bamboo and 25% polyester.
The charcoal bamboo nano particles are woven into the fleece. All materials are
independently safety tested and contain no harmful heavy metals or chemicals.
The key factor in using cloth pads
and underwear is to ensure that you monitor your flow and change frequently.
You should be changing when you no longer feel dry against the skin. This
may be every 3-4 hours. If you experience a reaction, seek medical advice.
The other important factor in
avoiding reactions is to ensure you wash your garments before use using Castile soap or another natural detergent with no fragrances or irritants. Continue to wash your underwear and pads in natural detergent every wash.
EcoPads come in three sizes, Small liners are 20 cm long, Regular pads are 26 cm long and Large overnight pads are 33 cm long.
They hold 30-40, 50-90ml and 80-100ml respectively.
Note that this is a saturation point, where the pads will no longer feel dry and will need to be changed.
Before you reach saturation point, the top layer against the skin remains feeling dry, due to the amazing moisture wicking abilities of the 'dry touch' technology.
