Have you tried period underwear?
There is a wide range of options for menstrual period products. These days, women have a myriad of choices, and it can be overwhelming to choose what type of protection is best for you. Each woman must select their favorite menstrual period products based on their unique cycles. Some women prefer tampons, while others pledge allegiance to menstrual pads. In addition, there are other innovative options like menstrual cups and discs. In the end, what women want is “protection.” That’s why period underwear provides style, function, and an extra layer of protection.
On low to medium flow days, you can use period underwear to eliminate the need for tampons, pads, and even cups. You can use it as a backup for your tampon or cup during heavier flow days.
The question is, have you tried period underwear? If not, are you willing to?
Below, check out some examples of Maxim Hygiene’s period underwear bikinis and boyshorts. Regardless of your preferred style and cut, by learning about period underwear you will have another sustainable option that takes care of your “that time of the month” needs.
Why period underwear?
Period underwear is considered the most practical option to replace disposable menstrual period products like tampons and pads. Some women prefer to rely on period underwear during their lighter flow days, but others opt to use them as a backup during their heavier flow days. Period underwear will ease your mind and simplify your life. Less single-use menstrual period products mean saving our planet and your wallet!
Additionally, they are washable so that you can re-use them again!
What to look for when selecting period underwear?
- ABSORBANCY = PROTECTION
One of the most critical elements of period underwear is how much it can hold. Most of them provide leak-proof advantages and can hold up to two tampons. What’s good about leak-proof underwear is that they provide the comfort of cotton while not having to wear a pad for your time of the month. In the end, women want the protection needed for busy days and surprises!
Each pair of Maxim’s period underwear has four layers, and they come with leak-proof breathable technology, so you feel fresh even on your heaviest flow days. And the breathable cotton is soft and absorbent—and made without toxic chemicals—so your most intimate areas are protected and safe.
2. STYLE
You can find period underwear that comes in bikini and boyshorts styles. Free bleed in the bikini when you feel like wearing the average women’s underwear without a pad.
You can use the boyshorts for a more comfortable sleep short at night.
3. BUDGET
According to Duquesne University, women have an average of 456 periods in their life, which translates to 9,120 tampons used. At an average price of seven dollars for a box of 36 tampons, the total amount women spend on tampons is approximately $1,773.33. Putting that into perspective, women can save a lot by replacing some of those tampons with period underwear.
So, why not try period underwear?
If you’re curious about reusable period underwear, you might want to first feel the comfort, see how it helps you, and adjust the size depending on your body.
