Organic Cotton Period Underwear
Move over toxic period care. This highly absorbent, organic cotton period underwear is designed to absorb your period, so you don’t have to use tampons or pads. It has a four layer towel technology with a special wicking layer, which means that any period blood is soaked up super fast and you won’t have a ‘wet feeling.’
Unlike single-use pads and liners, this organic period underwear is designed to be washed and reused, helping reduce waste over time. It’s a practical option for those looking to shift toward more sustainable period care without changing their routine.
These styles run true to size. Order your most standard size.
Alternative to products that disrupt your hormones like tampons and pads.
How To Period.
1. Put your Period. underwear on.
2. Go about your day.
3. Whenever you go to the bathroom, check to see how your underwear are doing. If you have a heavy day, you can help the underwear to absorb excess blood by doing a little toilet paper 'tap tap'.
4. When it feels like it's time to change, change, just like you would change a tampon or pad.
5. Wash the used pair or if you're not at home, wrap them up in a little bag and wash later.
6. Wear them again and again and again and again

In 1931, a man invented the tampon. (Actually some nurses had invented it before but the man was the one who patented and sold the idea). Around the same time, some advertising agencies and magazines began to build on the age-old idea that the period was a burden, something that needed to be hidden and overcome. They made you worry about lots of things like leaking and period smells. They made you think that it was unclean to have a period somehow and that periods were the opposite of freedom. Those advertisers and their clients told us that sticking a piece of cotton inside of us and a disposable pad in our underwear were the only options. And they never mentioned the fact that these period products caused so much damage to the Earth, with most of them outliving all of us in landfills and the oceans. No one has made a product that is kind to the user and to the Planet. A product that shifts the story. A product that is affordable to all. So we’re doing it. Because we can’t start writing the new story until we’ve got rid of the old one. And it has to be a better one, right? We believe periods are a superpower and when we tune into them and just flow, some incredible things might happen. We cannot wait to see what happens to you. The future is tugging, and that tug is not the tug of a tampon string.
Try textile recycling if your underwear has served its term.
