At the same time feminine, discreet and comfortable, the opposite of the sanitary napkin or the tampon, they will revolutionize your approach to the rules.

Menstrual panties, don't you know? We tell you everything

The menstrual panties (hold on tight) are panties that meet both your needs for fine lingerie AND periodic protection. As discreet as your usual underwear and just as effective as towels and tampons, it provides comfort for 12 hours by avoiding any sensation of humidity, leakage or odor.

The period panty belongs to the family of washable periodic protections but if the models of previous years reminded us of our old grandmother's panties, new brands have made efforts in recent years to offer us innovative models that are more efficient, elegant and feminine.. And yes, it's completely possible (as long as you want to) to be sexy during your period.

Of course, in terms of intimate hygiene, pads and tampons are still very popular in the market for menstruation products. The cup or menstrual cups come just after and the periodic panties in 3rd position. Sanitary panties are gaining in popularity because they are the healthiest and most effective option at the same time.

Indeed, we are entering into a certain awareness where we are gradually talking about ecological rules and these new panties, made with certified organic products not harmful to health, guarantee the balance and the proper functioning of your vaginal flora. Forget the irritation problems caused by rubbing fins or itching or even more seriously allergic to tampons and towels.

Unlike tampons and the menstrual cup, the blood does not stagnate for several hours in us, and therefore the risk of toxic shock syndrome is eliminated.

We tested the Sisters Republic period panties for you

And in addition, they are ecological and economical

In addition to being pretty and practical, it has not finished surprising you yet. The menstrual panties are not only environmentally friendly but also economical.

Periods appear on average around the age of 13 and stop at menopause. Their duration varies from two days to a week. Abundant or moderate flow, to each its own style. But one thing is certain, having your rules comes at a cost: both financial and environmental.

In fact, the consumption of traditional hygienic protections per woman will range between 10,000 and 15,000 units throughout her life. For all protection combined: towels, tampons, applicators, individual packaging, etc.

Come to think of it, with an average expenditure of € 10 for all protections, your monthly expenditure on hygienic protections costs you a small fortune.

And this is where the period panties come into play and reveal its strengths.

Ecological protection

Unless you live in a cave, you've probably heard of man's ecological impact on the planet. But good news! Going green is also possible with the menstrual cycle and her panties. By choosing to adopt the period panties, you will definitely go to zero menstrual waste.

This type of lingerie is not only washable BUT ALSO reusable. So yeah, at first it might seem weird but honestly, we got used to it. What is even more appreciable is its ultra simple and fast maintenance.

There are three simple steps to follow to ensure maximum efficiency:

• Rinsing: By simply passing the panties under cold water (we insist, the water must be cold!) Until the water becomes clear. If you don't have the time or patience to wait for panty in hand, let it soak for a few minutes. But before going on to the next step, check that there are no more traces;
• Washing: By hand or in the machine with the rest of your clothes, the choice is yours! In the machine, we recommend that you insert it into the bra nets for additional protection (this is not mandatory, but we like to pamper what is good for us). Wash at low temperature (30 ° to 40 ° maximum). For laundry, prefer a rather soft one and avoid detergents and softeners at all costs.
• Drying: in the open air or on a drying rack.

By scrupulously following these small washing steps, you will keep panties like new for your next 5 years of cohabitation. We just insist on the fact that it is important to keep it away from any heat source (including the dryer) which could alter the properties of the panties.

Economic protection

We previously told you about the average monthly cost of your personal hygiene. If we reduce that to a lifetime of periods, it still represents a small budget.

Investing in period panties also saves money. Because as we said, these panties are reusable and will be as effective as the first day (provided they are well maintained). Imagine, no longer having to urgently buy your protections every month! Your period panties, on the contrary, will quietly wait for you warm in your closet.

For the purchase of period panties, count on average 30 €. We advise you to buy three or four to alternate day and night over two days: a total of 120 € spent that you will not regret! If this sum may seem high to you, in the long term, the savings you will make will be substantial.

Finally, thanks to the period panties you will also be able to forget the anguish of the first day of the forgotten rule which takes us by surprise, as well as the fear of seeing our beautiful lingerie stained by these small unwanted drops at the end or beginning of the cycle.

All we can say is that we are 100% fan and can't live without it! And you, will you dare to take the plunge?
