When your swimwear 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 swimwear, simply wear them like you would with any of your other swimwear.
Step 1 Wash your Eco Period swimwear 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 swimwear 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 swimwear 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.
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.
Other disability information is available at the NDIS website (link) or the NDIS helpline (1800 800 110)
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).

How does Period Swimwear work?
Eco Period swimwear is designed with absorbent layers and moisture-wicking materials to manage menstrual flow. The absorbent layers trap and absorb menstrual fluid, keeping you comfortable while swimming, by ensuring no menstrual fluid leaks out. The outer fabric is water-resistant to prevent water from entering the gusset. No swelling in water and No tampons are required.
We're a business run by women, for women, based in the beautiful Hinterlands of Queensland's Sunshine Coast.
We are dedicated to providing a high quality product. We back our product quality so highly, that we will replace any faulty underwear if it doesn't last for at least 6 months.
From fabric and garment production, to our day to day operation we are consistently working towards minimising our environmental footprint.
We're passionate about giving back to those in need. That's why we donate products and 5% of our profits to charities supporting women, homelessness and environmental causes.
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.

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.
