Panty Liners and Period Underwear: Everyday Protection

Panty liners and period underwear are additional period supplies that provide light protection or serve as backup for other products. They are particularly useful for light days, spotting, or everyday wear.

Panty Liners

Panty liners are thin, absorbent pads designed to be worn inside your underwear. They are similar to pads but much thinner, making them ideal for light flow, spotting, or as backup protection when using tampons or menstrual cups.

  • Use Cases: Panty liners are perfect for the beginning or end of your period when your flow is light, or for everyday protection against discharge.
  • Varieties: Like pads, panty liners come in different sizes and absorbencies. They can be scented or unscented, and some are specifically designed for thong underwear.

Period Underwear

Period underwear is a relatively new product that has gained popularity for its convenience and eco-friendliness. These special types of underwear are made with absorbent, leak-proof layers that can hold a certain amount of menstrual blood.

  • How They Work: Period underwear can be worn alone on light days or as backup protection on heavier days. They come in different absorbencies, equivalent to one or more tampons or pads.
  • Comfort and Style: Period underwear is available in various styles, including briefs, boyshorts, and thongs, making it easy to find a pair that suits your preferences.
  • Care: Period underwear is reusable and can be washed like regular underwear. It’s recommended to rinse them in cold water after use and then wash them with your regular laundry.
