How does period underwear work?

The underwear with built-in protection.

The insert in the panty includes an absorbent layer, which is just a few millimeters thick.

When developing our SmartLayer technology, our first priority was making the panties comfortable.

The top layer is a Drylayer, made from 100% eco-certified natural cotton, and ensures that you always feel dry and directs the blood through to the antibacterial and absorbent layer within seconds.

There is the smart layer that traps the blood, neutralizes odours and makes sure the panty is breathable.

The third layer is a waterproof tpu material, preventing the panty from leaking.

Use it like your regular underwear

It replaces your single-use period protection.

You feel free and fresh all day long.

There is no odor due to the breathable fabrics.

Why should I change from pads to period panties?

  • Unlike wearing reusable pads, you can't feel anything inside your underwear and there's no chance of shifting around while you're on the go. There is no odor and you feel like any other day of the month.

How long can you wear period underwear?

  • It depends on your flow. Between 4-12 hours.

How much blood can they hold?

Period underwear absorbs anywhere from about 5 to 25 milliliters of liquid, which can be more than several tampons' worth.

Can I wear them with incontinence?

Our pee-proof panties give you the freedom to be relaxed and not be afraid of any potential leakage.

I have a heavy menstrual flow, can I wear them?

  • Sure, you can. Maybe you have to change your Elsawear period panties more frequently on the first few days of your period. Choose panties with high absorption. For night use we definitly recommending our period shorts for maximum protection.

If you experience irritation from using traditional menstrual pads, switching to period underwear will help.

Our period pants last between two and five years.
