One of the trends that gained momentum in recent years at the international level is the use of period underwear during menstruation.
These are absorbent and reusable underwear that can be washed and used over and over again.
In fact, period underwear offers an experience of comfort during menstruation, along with an ecological and money-saving solution, they also reduce the environmental damage of using disposable hygiene products and save the ongoing monthly expense.
Menstrual underwear is made of special fabrics that know how to absorb a large amount of liquids without allowing them to leak out, while providing a pleasant and dry feeling to the wearer.
To maintain these properties, they must be washed in a way that will not harm the fabric and preserve the life of these items for a long time.
It is ecological, economical and convenient - but only if you know how to maintain them for a long time.

The period underwear is produced with a special technology, and allows absorption equivalent to 3 to 4 tampons, where the first layer consists of elastic and pleasant to the touch cotton that prevents unpleasant odors, the second layer is absorbent, and the third layer is absorbent and sealed to the passage of liquids.
The repeated use of period underwear requires gentle and proper care in order to maintain the product for a long time.
