How to choose your Period Underwear
Menstrual panties are an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to traditional menstrual products such as tampons and sanitary napkins. However, it is important to choose the right menstrual panties based on: your menstrual flow, the number of times you change them, and the duration of your period. In addition, it will also depend on how consistently you wash your panties. Here are some tips for choosing the right menstrual panties!
Choosing the right absorption capacity
The first step in making your choice is to know your menstrual flow. Is your flow light, medium or heavy? Do you have heavier bleeding at the beginning or end of your cycle? It is important to know this information to choose menstrual panties with the right absorbency capacity.
Know your menstrual flow
Light flow panties are designed to absorb about 20 ml of blood (2-3 tampons). Medium flow panties can absorb up to 35 ml (4 tampons), while those with high absorbency can absorb up to 45 ml (8 tampons). It is important to choose panties with the right absorbency to avoid leaks and ensure optimal protection throughout your menstrual cycle.
💡 Our tip if you have recurring leaks: You can wear the panties for less time or use panties with higher absorbency. Be kind to yourself, there is a little adaptation and learning time at the beginning before you can develop your routine.
Choosing the right model
Ora offers different styles and models of menstrual panties, each adapted to a different type of menstrual flow. Light flow panties are often thinner and more discreet, while heavy flow panties have a higher absorbency and can be thicker (but never like a diaper, don't worry). It's also important to choose a model that suits your body shape and makes you feel comfortable!
No matter what model of panties you choose, there is no impact on its absorption efficiency. It is simply a matter of choosing the panties that will make you comfortable and that you find cute!
Choosing the right fabric
Ora menstrual panties are usually made from absorbent fabrics such as cotton or bamboo. It is important to choose a fabric that suits you and does not cause irritation or allergies. The choice of textile will play an important role in your comfort, but it also depends on your daily life, your assiduity with washing and your menstrual flow. It is therefore a personal choice that can vary from one person to another.
· Cotton , for example, being a natural fiber, is the ideal textile for sensitive skin, prone to irritation and skin allergies. In addition, it is light, soft and breathable, thus offering optimal comfort.
· Nylon , on the other hand, is known for its flexibility and stretch, making it ideal for people who have busy days or are physically active. A big plus is that it dries quickly!
· Bamboo fiber , for its part, absorbs and evaporates moisture quickly, making it the best option for hot summer days. Although it is often combined with bamboo rayon, it remains the most ecological option, since its cultivation does not require any chemicals.
Choosing the right size
It is important to select the right size to ensure optimal comfort and effective protection during your period.
