Say hello to comfortable periods
What exactly is period underwear?
A period underwear looks and feels like a normal underwear, but is made with multiple layers of special fabric to make them absorbent, breathable, and leak-proof. Some also use fabric that reduces odor.
You can wear them during your period to replace pads or tampons, or use them as back up during heavier flow days

How to care for period underwear
After you remove your period underwear, rinse them in cold water until the water runs clear.
If machine washing, wash on the gentle cycle. To make your underwear last, hand-wash with a mild detergent.
Do not put in dryer. Instead, lay underwear flat or hang dry.
First time?
Trying wearing it overnight towards the end of your period when your flow is lighter, before moving on to full-time use.
