The benefits of using menstrual panties
Menstrual panties appeared a few years ago in the menstrual hygiene industry as an alternative to tampons and pads. They are underwear models that avoid staining clothes or the bed thanks to being made with materials that absorb and block the flow. They are a healthier, more economical and sustainable option. In this post by Anaissa we tell you how they work and what the benefits of using them are.
How do menstrual panties work?
Menstrual panties are underwear made from a special fabric to absorb menstruation. There are various designs and models to use on different occasions and according to the type of flow (heavy, moderate, light).
This innovative underwear is made with fabrics that help drain menstrual flow, avoiding the sensation of humidity and neutralizing odors. Being made of a waterproof fabric, it guarantees that there are no leaks throughout the day.
When you start using menstrual panties, many questions arise, which we will answer below.
The most common questions are:
How long can I wear menstrual panties?
The duration of menstrual panties depends on the type of panties purchased and the amount of menstrual flow. A menstrual panty for light to moderate flow can protect you for up to 14 hours. When the flow is heavier, the duration is a little less.
How do you wash menstrual panties?
You can wash them in the washing machine or by hand. It is always better to do it with cold water and let it dry naturally so as not to damage the fabric. If you choose the washing machine option, it is recommended to first do a small hand wash.
How many menstrual panties do you need?
Ideally, you should have 3 menstrual panties for one menstrual period. This will give you time to wash and dry the menstrual panties before using them again.
