7 Reasons to Switch to Reusable Period Undies

The latest fashion trend involves transforming your wardrobe so that it is more eco-friendly and reusable period undies can help you accomplish this in a big way. That’s part of the reason period underwear has taken over the undergarment scene in recent years. Not only are they comfortable, practical, and as cute as your other panties, but they can also be worn & washed, not tossed. 

Reusable period undies are also better for your health thanks to their ability to help protect you from leaks. They are easy to wash and care for, and come in a variety of cute and comfortable styles. The benefits are truly unlimited. 

What is Period Underwear? 

Moisture wicking underwear, also known as period underwear, are panties you can wear on your period. They are designed to absorb period blood and come in a variety of thickness for different flows - light to heavy. The best part of all is that they are reusable and can last for years, protecting you through countless menstrual cycles. Did we mention you can wear them for more than just periods? They are also made to absorb sweat, discharge, and urine leaks as well.

Can You Wear Period Underwear All Day? 

The answer to this question depends on how heavy your flow is. Our most absorbent pair can handle up to 5 tampons, so you could potentially wear a single pair for all day protection. You can buy period undies that offer light, medium, and heavy protection.  

Top 7 Reasons to Switch to Reusable Period Undies

There are so many benefits to switching to reusable period undies, from saving money to feeling comfier. 

1. Save Money in the Long Run

Your bank account will thank you for making the investment in reusable period undies, as they can be worn again and again, saving you money over time. Traditional undies can be ruined by blood and other leaks, but period undies offer more sustainability as they are meant to handle all of life’s little leaks. 

2. They’re Super Comfy and Look Great

You don’t have to sacrifice style or comfort to benefit your wallet and the planet. Proof® period panties are designed for all day comfort, plus they come in a variety of cute styles from cheeky to full coverage. 

3. Health Benefits

Period underwear are sanitary and prevent the risk for toxic shock syndrome, which can occur if you wear the same tampon for too many hours. You can also benefit your health by reducing the risk of chafing, irritation, since the moisture wicking fabric draws moisture away from the body. 

4. Comfort and Convenience

Many love the comfort that our period panties offer. Our most absorbent pair can handle up to 5 regular tampons or 10 teaspoons of liquid. That means one pair of period underwear can be worn for a longer duration, adding to the overall convenience of sporting a pair.  

5. Easy to Wash and Care

Reusable period undies can be worn time and time again, simply toss them in the washing machine on a gentle cycle and hang dry. 

6. Wear With Other Period Products For Extra Protection 

Pair your favorite form of period protection with a pair of period undies to help stop leaks in their tracks. Simply wearing a pair of period underwear can give you more confidence during the day to wear what you want without fear of leaking through. Get a better night's sleep too thanks to the reduced risk of leaks waking you up at night. 

7. Made for More Than Just Periods 

Period underwear is made to absorb all types of liquid, from gym sweat to discharge and even urine leaks. So go ahead, enjoy them any day of the month, even when you’re not on your menstrual cycle. 

Make Period Underwear Part of Your Wardrobe & Routine 

Wearing period underwear is a way to get ahead of your period, you’ll be ready when it arrives without having to run to the bathroom for a tampon or pad.
