All About Reusable Period Underwear and Pads

All About Reusable Period Underwear and Pads

Here at Period.Shop we are proud to carry a wide assortment of the best reusable menstrual products available, including various styles of period underwear and reusable period pads.


Period panties and reusable pads can provide full protection without the need for a menstrual cup or disc or they can provide lighter coverage for spotty days. And period underwear can make for a great safety net when you’re looking for a little extra confidence, like for when you’re trying out a new menstrual cup or disc. 


How Does Period Underwear Work?


While there are various period underwear styles and reusable pads to choose from, many work in similar ways. Most styles feature a special fabric designed to wick liquid away from the skin. It then collects the period blood inside the underwear or pad so that it does not spill or leak out onto your clothes. 


The Best Period Underwear 


Period Underwear is having its moment. Many brands are hitting the market just in the last few years. This is a great opportunity for the consumer to choose from a variety of styles so that they can find the best period underwear for their needs. Period.Shop has cherry picked the best brands to bring to the store, so you can feel confident that you are choosing from a high-quality assortment.

How to Wash Period Underwear


For those new to reusable pads and period underwear, know that all products come with cleaning and care instructions to help you on your reusable journey.
