Period Underwear - it fits like panties, but protects like pads! Pretty simple and straightforward - slide it on just like your regular underwear, and the period panty will do its thing! No need to wear anything inside it (Think pad, cup or tampon), no need to wear any other underwear outside it (It is an underwear, so wearing underwear on top of underwear sounds pretty redundant).
If you have decided to switch to period panties, here are top 10 things you need to know -
How Many Types Of Menstrual Underwear Are There?
Two types of period panties are available in the market - The disposable period panty, and the reusable period panty. As the name suggests, disposable period panties need to be used and discarded, while the reusable period panties can be washed and reused. Disposable period panties are more convenient, but reusable period panties may be more sustainable in the longer run.
Are Period Panties Safe To Use?
Think of disposable period panties like pads you can wear. They are safe to use, as long as you change them as and when required, and maintain general hygiene. They are absorbent, hence they keep you dry and fresh, while providing snug and reliable protection.
Do I Need To Wear A Tampon, Pad Or Cup With Period Panties?
It is absolutely not required to wear a pad, tampon or cup inside a period panty. The period panty itself absorbs the menstrual flow, making it the only period product you need to wear while using it. However, if you have heavy flow that requires more than 1 period care products, including a period panty, it will be a good idea to discuss this with your gynecologist and understand the reason for excessive period flow.
How To Select The Correct Period Panty Size?
A period panty, just like regular panties, should fit you snugly. If it is too tight, it may be uncomfortable, and if it is too loose, there may be a risk of it sliding and shifting. Always pick a panty that fits comfortably around the waist, and snugly around your pelvis. Most brands have a sizing chart, that can help you decide a size for your period panty based on your waist size. Pee Safe Period Panties are sized based on this sizing chart.
Are Period Panties Suitable For Night Time Use?
Absolutely! Period panties are excellent for use during heavy flow nights! Pads may shift and move as you sleep, making your sheets prone to staining. Period panties avoid such leaks, so you can sleep stress free, without worrying about stains or discomfort.
Are Period Panties Visible Under Tight Clothes?
Good quality period panties are seamless under tight clothing. Pee Safe Period Panties can be worn along with leggings, pants, shorts, and even dresses!
How Many Hours Can You Wear A Period Panty?
A period panty may protect for up to 12 hours. However, if you have heavy flow, you can change the period panties more frequently.
How To Remove And Dispose Of Period Panty?
To remove and dispose of period panty, simply tear it from the side, and remove, then discard it in a garbage bag.
Who Are These Recommended For?
Everyone who menstruates can wear them! They are especially useful for youngsters who have just started their periods, athletes, and busy working professionals. They are also useful for people who have heavy flow during their period.
How Many Panties Do You Need Per Menstrual Cycle?
This depends entirely on your flow. Some people may only need 2 panties per day, while others may need more. 6-10 period panties may be needed, but feel free to use more as per your flow and cycle length.
Conclusion
Period panties may be the newest entrant in the period care market, but it is extremely convenient. Finally a period product that fits right into your lifestyle, and on your waist.
