Best Period Underwear in Australia 202425 March 2024 | Admin Here at Team Cheeky we've been all about 'Simple Reusables' since we launched our bestselling reusable wipes kit way back in 2008. After 4 kids, my body had changed and internal period protection such as menstrual cup or tampons was no longer an option. So we launched our reusable period pads back in 2014 and period undies shortly afterwards and at that stage it was still viewed by many as gross and weird and even a bit feral! We used to get some VERY funny reactions at expo's.... Thankfully with the focus in recent years on the environment, people are now way more aware of how the choices we make as consumers have a massive knock on effect on our environment. This means that reusable period products are now way more mainstream than they were previously. That's great news for our planet! If you're thinking of making the switch to period undies, it can be tricky to know where to start! Is there any difference between the brands? We'll let you into a secret.... All Period Undies are basically the same, no matter what their marketing saysThere aren't any 'magic powers' with period knickers (or unicorn dust), all pairs of period pants are made in the same way: - a layer next to your skin which is moisture wicking and helps with odour control - absorbent layer or layers which offer different levels of absorbency / tampons worth of blood - waterproof, leak proof layers In real terms, this means there's very little difference between different brands of period pants in terms of the actual product. There's one notable exception. That's how far the absorbent / waterproof layer extends. It makes a difference whether that's just in the gusset or it extends further to the front and rear waistband which is important if you have anything more than light flow. Having absorbency just in the gusset can lead to leaks if you have heavy periods or when sleeping. At Cheeky, our period pants have absorbency to front and rear waistband as standard, to give our customers peace of mind no matter how heavy your menstrual cycle. How do you choose between different brands of period proof underwear?Well, some things to consider when choosing between different brands of period proof underwear: - pricing
- customer service / reviews
- absorbency area
- sizing
