Our undies are designed to help you to feel fresh and dry. Plus, our styles are machine washable and reusable, and can be worn as normal undies.

How It Works

Period flows change, we get it. As part of our motive to keep you feeling your best no matter what kind of flow you’re experiencing, we offer a variety of absorbency levels for all the days. On your light days, you may want a lighter absorbency panty or thong, while on heavier days, you may opt for something with a higher absorbency level, and for overnight you might want something with some added coverage. We encourage you to stock up on a variety of styles so that you’re prepared for any flow, any time.  

However, there are no rules that say when you can or can’t wear a particular pair. Whatever makes you the most comfortable, wear it. As you browse through our assortment, look for the blood drop icons that serve as an indicator of absorbency level.

Style & Fit

Made with buttery-soft fabric, our period underwear is super comfy. Designed for all-day comfort, every pair features multi-way stretch fabric that moves with you. Moral of the story is if you love comfort, you'll love our underwear.

Yes! While you should not wear the same pair of underwear every day, it is safe to wear a fresh pair of period underwear every day. Proof® created a line of period underwear called the Everyday Collection explicitly designed for everyday use. The Leak-Resistant Everyday Brief helps protect you from daily leaks and is so comfortable and stylish that it feels like a second skin. The everyday undies are made with comfy materials that move with your body while you exercise or run errands.

The right size can contribute to your comfort. Refer to our size guide which can be found on each product page for our sizing recommendations. Remember though, the right size will be what you feel best in.

Care

For washing and drying our period underwear, we recommend the following method of care to maximize use. 

1. Wash 

All of our undies are machine washable. We recommend washing on a delicate cycle with cold water with delicate detergents. And if you prefer, you can hand wash them, too. 

2. Dry  

For our Proof® powered by Always styles, you can toss them right in the dryer!  

For our classic Proof® styles, hang or lay flat to dry. Expect our classic Proof® undies to take between 6-24 hours to dry. To expedite the drying process, blot excess moisture and hang dry. Stock up to make sure you are always covered. 

3. Go 

The best part about Proof® is that you get to keep wearing them again and again! Our Proof® undies were designed for years of wear, so you can keep enjoying the feeling of worry free periods! 

Washable underwear for periods are made to wear and wash, not wear and toss. Our period underwear is leakproof and available in a variety of absorbency levels. Choose the right absorbency level depending on your flow—whether it’s day or night—and move freely in soft period underwear. For reference, here's an overview of our absorbency levels and the protection they can provide.

Find your flow by absorbency levels

Period underwear is a form of protection you can wear throughout the day and throughout the night. Therefore, stock up to ensure you always have the protection you need. When determining how many pairs to order, think about when you will use them. We see many of our customers use them for overnight, their super heavy days, and so on! Use that as a starting point. Beyond that, determine how many days you would want to wear Proof® undies. Reference our leak levels to determine how many pairs of each kind will best meet your needs. 

There's also a good chance you'll love our leakproof underwear, period or not. With the ability to protect for all types of leaks, you may want to fill your entire underwear drawer with leakproof underwear. You've heard the old saying: better to be safe than sorry. Take us up on our bundle discounts and stock up on our buttery soft leakproof underwear!  

If you forget to separate your classic Proof® underwear from the rest of your washing and it gets thrown in the dryer, don’t panic. One or two trips through the dryer aren’t going to make them unusable. 

However, like your bras, while they can survive the dryer, you shouldn’t do it on purpose if you want them to last. The special materials in period underwear can become damaged quickly by repeated runs in the dryer. 

Remember, Proof® powered by Always undies are all washer & dryer friendly so it makes your laundry day that much easier. 

Absolutely! As mentioned above, Proof® underwear is totally machine washable. Just make sure you wash your undies in cold water on a delicate cycle.
