Although it is a subject that has been little talked about for decades and is still, in certain contexts, taboo, menstruation is very present and conditions the lives of women around the world during most of their adult years.
From when we are about 12 years old until we reach menopause, around 50, women menstruate one week out of every four (except for periods during pregnancy or illness), which is a very considerable amount of time.
Whatever we do or wherever we are on the days when our period is going to come down, it is inconceivable that we leave home without taking extra pads or tampons to face the day. Because we all know what happens if we don't.
Despite the fact that these two sanitary products have evolved and adapted to the times with different shapes and materials, they are a throwaway concept that many people are not convinced of and that also poses other discomforts such as irritation (in the case of from pads that rub against the skin all day) or discomfort (if the tampon is misplaced).
With the idea of looking for more sustainable alternatives, the menstrual cup was born a few years ago, an element that not everyone likes either because of how cumbersome it can be to see all the blood when removing it or because of the way it is placed.
Due to the cons that all these menstrual products present, another option that has begun to stand out in recent months for being very practical, sustainable, easy to manage and very discreet is menstrual panties.
These garments, which look exactly the same as ordinary underwear, only change in the fact that they have several special layers to absorb blood, as if it were a pad or tampon, and with the comfort of not having to wear anything attached to them that can move and stain all our clothes. Therefore, it is impossible for the blood to come out if we wear it well and during the recommended hours.
So that you know everything about this type of product and some highly valued options that are sold in solid colors or with prints and individually or in packs, from El Comprador de La Vanguardia we propose several models.
This brand offers several models, differentiated mainly by design (smooth, with lace, with stripes of transparency, etc.) and by the absorption capacity (light, moderate or large).
The options range from size XXS to XXL and are made with organic or sustainable materials (they vary depending on the model). Some are individual options and others are multi-unit packs.
In addition to allowing us to save 66% of what we usually spend on pads or tampons, they guarantee total anti-leak protection, so we can be safe whenever we carry them.
The No Blood brand also has several proposals (individual or by packs) for more or less absorption and with very different designs so that each woman can find the desired aesthetic and does not have to give up wearing beautiful underwear just because she is menstruating.
The models of this company use a very practical sustainable fabric with 95% cotton and 5% elastane, which allows easy maintenance after each use. It will be as easy as hand or machine wash them in cold water and without fabric softener or bleach.
Depending on the level of absorption we choose, we will have the protection equivalence of between 2 and 4 tampons, so it will last us all day. The sizes go from XXS to 5XL to adapt to all bodies.
A third option is this simple model of Anntry panties with a plain format, which comes in a pack of 5 units and offers the possibility of choosing between the color black or varied options in pastel, dark tones...
The composition of this anti-leak garment guarantees, on the one hand, the softness necessary for contact with the skin, the impermeability required so that we do not stain our clothes, and the ideal breathability so that the skin can breathe properly throughout the day.
The fabric of the panties, available from sizes XS to XL, is 94% natural cotton and 6% spandex. The crotch lining is 100% cotton and the leak-proof lining is 90% viscose and 10% spandex fabric. All this allows them to be machine and hand washed before being left to air dry.
Another very flattering format to wear menstruation panties is this one proposed by the Neione brand, which has lace sides for a seductive point. We can choose a pack with all the units in black, an option with black, lilac and fuchsia or an option with black, blue and green.
The absorption of this model is approximately equivalent to that of two tampons, so it will be adequate if we do not bleed especially.
The four layers of these briefs, available from sizes 36 to 50, work to absorb, block and prevent leaks, giving you complete peace of mind.
Finally, DIM's proposal consists of simple black panties that we can choose in a version for medium absorption (equivalent to two tampons) or for abundant absorption (equivalent to three tampons = as needed).
This model, available from size 36 to 50, is 93% cotton and 7% elastane, so we can wash them by hand or in the machine as needed.
In addition to being an anti-leak option, it is also anti-odour and very elastic, so they will not bother us in any way when wearing them all day.
