Questions We Hear A Lot

How does period underwear work?

Period underwear has built-in absorbent layers that lock in fluid, control odour, and help prevent leaks - without pads or tampons. Each pair is designed for a different level of flow, from light everyday wear to overnight protection.

How many pairs do I actually need?

Most people find 3–5 pairs works well for a cycle, depending on flow and how often you wash.

Our kits make this easier by bundling underwear with essentials like wipes, heat packs, and storage - so you’re covered from day one.

What’s best for overnight or school?

For longer days or overnight, look for full-coverage styles like boyleg or high-waist underwear.

Our Sleepover, Camp, and Heavy Flow kits are designed specifically for these situations, with extra protection and practical add-ons for peace of mind.

Can teens wear period underwear?

Yes - period underwear is a great option for teens and first periods. It’s simple, reusable, and easy to manage at school or activities.

Our First Period & Tween kits are age-appropriate and designed to help kids feel prepared without making periods a big deal.
