You might be under the misconception that period underwear is like an adult nappy - bulky, unflattering and just not for you.
Period pants have come a long way, though, and the selection available now is pretty great. In fact, many of them feel less bulkier than pads.
Not only do they look just like normal underwear, they’re a lot better for the environment. Women’s menstural products produce a lot of waste every year and these offer a more sustainable alternative.
The only difference you’ll feel when giving these a go is a thin protective layer which stops blood from seeping through.
Many people think that period pants aren’t for them, mainly because they have a heavy flow. Brands are starting to wake up to this reality now and many offer options for every situation - from workout to nighttime.
We’ve handpicked the best period underwear available on the market based on popularity, versatility and comfort.
From the Thinx range (which is arguably the most popular) Sainsbury’s new versatile LOVE LUNA range, you won’t be short of options.
