What are period underwear?

This is underwear designed to be worn during menstruation. It looks and feels like regular underwear but contains built-in absorbent and protective layers that capture menstrual fluid and help prevent leaks.

 

🧷 How do period panties work?

Most leakproof period panties consist of four carefully designed layers:

  1. Top layer – soft and breathable, wicks moisture away from the skin.
  2. Absorbent layer – can hold an amount equivalent to 1 to 4 tampons.
  3. Protective layer – liquid-proof and blocks odor.
  4. Outer layer – flexible and durable fabric that ensures both comfort and style.

Despite multiple layers, period panties remain thin – approximately 2 mm – and feel and wear like regular underwear.
