Material and functionality
1. Organic cotton gusset
92% Cotton, 8% Spandex
The first layer close to the body, the gusset made of organic cotton, ensures that any fluid that escapes is directed into the inside of your period underwear at lightning speed.
2. Absorbent core
85% Polyester, 15% Polyamide
The absorbent core made of innovative fibers works like a sponge and absorbs the liquid that is passed on in seconds. This gives you a dry feeling and also prevents unpleasant odors from developing.
3. Leak protection
100% Polyester | Coat: 100% Polyurethane
So that you can feel safe during your period, both during the day and at night, a liquid-impermeable membrane is attached to the absorbent core. This offers optimum leakage protection.
4. Underwear made from organic cotton
92% Cotton, 8% Spandex
The outer layer of underwear is made largely from our sustainable organic cotton. This makes your new period underwear feel just as natural as your other favorite underwear.

The durability of period underwear depends on various factors, including frequency of use and care. Our period underwear, made from durable materials and carefully cared for, can usually last for several years.
Caring for your new period underwear is simple and straightforward. Depending on how heavy your period is, you can wear your period underwear for different lengths of time, but always for several hours. When it's time to change your underwear, simply follow these steps to keep it clean and fresh.
- Rinse under cold water: Start by rinsing your period underwear under cold water. This helps to remove excess blood and pre-treat the underwear before you put it in the washing machine. Rinse the underwear until the water runs clear to ensure all blood residue is removed.
- Wash in the washing machine: After you have rinsed your period underwear, you can put it in the washing machine at a temperature of 40°C. Use a mild detergent without bleach or fabric softener. Use a mild detergent that does not contain bleach or fabric softener to protect the delicate materials of the underwear. A normal wash cycle is sufficient to thoroughly clean your period underwear.

Avoid drying your period underwear in the dryer, as this can damage the elasticity of the materials and shorten their lifespan.
