Tips for washing period underwear while traveling
Period underwear is washable and reusable, but does require special care to extend its lifespan. When traveling, you may want to keep your period underwear in a separate garment bag. If you need to wash it on the go, use cold water and gentle detergents. Hang to dry. If a washing machine is available, you can throw them in the wash as well, but again use cold water and a delicate cycle. Wear & wash, not wash & toss.
How many pairs of period underwear should I pack?
Our period underwear is just like your basics made better. Therefore, pack them just as you would regular underwear. Think a fresh pair for the day, and a fresh pair for the night. If you plan to exercise or sweat more than normal, you may want to pack extra. After all, it’s important to stay clean down there. When it comes to staying protected, choose the pair of period underwear based on your flow. All of our period underwear is offered with a representation of how much liquid they can hold so you can choose the right part for your flow.
What if I have a heavy flow while traveling?
Heavy flows can come at the inconvenient times, but they don’t have to hold you back. At Proof we offer Heavy and Super Heavy Absorbency levels. For enhanced leak protection, shop our Heavy and Super Heavy period underwear. Our Heavy period underwear can hold up to 4 regular tampons and our Super Heavy period underwear can hold up to 5 regular tampons.
How long can I wear period underwear before I need to change them?
Period underwear are designed to be worn just like regular underwear. Therefore, you’ll need to change them as needed. How often you need to change them will depend on what you’re doing, what your preferences are, and how heavy your flow is. The most important part about period underwear is matching your flow to the right pair of underwear. With different absorbency levels, you can choose the pair of period underwear that will maximize coverage. To be extra safe, fold a pair up in your purse or carry-on bag for backup protection. After all, you can never be safe enough - especially when it comes to leak protection.
