Period Underwear FAQ

WHAT ARE PERIOD UNDERWEAR?

Period Underwear are special underwear that have 3 or 4  layers that hold your flow. You can use them as back up to other menstrual products such as cups, pads, tampons, disks, or wear them alone.

 HOW DO THEY WORK?

There are 3-4 layers that make up the gusset (crotch) area, including a leak-proof, water-proof last layer. It absorbs away any moisture from your body!

DO THESE UNDERWEAR LEAK?

The underwear is made to be leak-proof. It is important to know your flow and change them more frequently on heavy flow days if you do experience leaks.

DO THESE UNDERWEAR STAIN
