We also suggest wearing the underwear a day or two before you’re scheduled to begin your cycle to avoid any kind of staining or damage to your regular underwear. Our underwear is a great way to ease in and out of your period, stress free.

How many pairs of underwear do I need per cycle?

We suggest having 1 to 2 pairs on hand for each day throughout your cycle depending on how heavy it may be. If you’re someone that is prone to having heavier periods, you may want to carry an extra pair around with you in a small wash bag throughout the day. By having 1 to 2 clean pairs of underwear a day, you can avoid using the washing machine too frequently, and wash them all together once your cycle is over. This will help keep your underwear strong and effective, as well using up less water and energy resources!
