What is period panty?

A period panty is an undergarment intended to be worn during your periods. Though a few women prefer relying on a period panty only during the light menstrual flow days, you can also use the period panties for heavy flow days.

How do period panties work?

The period panties are made using 5 layers of protection that can hold period flow worth 1-2 tampons- a stain-resistant layer is included to avoid any staining, a moisture wall or barrier coat, an anti-stain layer, anti-leak coat and an antimicrobial coat to keep you comfortable all day long.

What are the benefits of a period panty?

Saves Money:

Period panties are a one-off purchase, which is far better than purchasing pads or tampons every month. You can easily reuse them by just washing, making them a great alternative to pads or tampons. Quick Fact: A period panty can last up to 24 months without any issues.

Protects Nature:

Disposable sanitary pads could take several years to decompose, as can the plastic in and around tampons. But, period panties, on the other hand, help reduce the sanitary waste that ends up in the landfill as they are reusable, and since it's all natural fabric, it’s quick to decompose too.

No Itchiness:

Period panties are more comfortable on the skin than other sanitary products, and also since its just mainly bamboo fabric and BCI certified Organic Cotton, it protects you naturally. For instance, some women experience skin allergies due to sanitary pads but the same is not the case with Lavos Performance Period Panty.

All day comfort:

Period panty is best suited for modern women who are always on the go and empowers you when you are at work or traveling as you don’t have to worry about constantly changing your tampon or pad.

How to care for your period panty?

Soak:

After you have used the panty, rinse & soak it in cold water for some time.

Wash:

If you are machine washing, place the panty in the washable mesh sack and wash it on a gentle or delicate cycle. Consider hand-washing the panty using a mild soap or detergent to make it last longer.

Dry:

Don’t place the panty in the dryer bag. Instead, hang dry or lay the panty flat to maintain the integrity and elasticity of the fabric.

Maintain:

Are you tensed about lingering smells or stains? Lavos period panties are naturally odor- and stain-resistant because of Bamboo fabric and will not retain a bad smell after the wash.

Products like Lavos period panties make both an ecologically sustainable and economically smart choice. They are a great alternative if you are done using tampons or pads!

Plus, trying it out as a backup on a heavier day is great too. The bamboo fabric used in the period panty is extremely easy to clean and pleasing to touch despite several washes. So why wait? Try Lavos period panties, and have a safe period!
