Normally you change your regular underwear every morning, but with menstrual underwear it is different and depends on the intensity of your period. It is important to know that menstrual blood, when in contact with air for an extended period of time, creates the ideal environment for the accumulation of bacteria. This can lead to unpleasant odors, skin irritations and, in some cases, even infections. In very rare situations, this can contribute to the development of toxic shock syndrome (TSS). Although our menstrual underwear is made of breathable, high-quality materials designed to wick away moisture and keep you fresh, it is still essential to change it regularly for hygienic reasons.
On days with lighter periods, you can wear the menstrual underwear a little longer, say up to 10 to 12 hours, but on days with heavier flow, it is wise to change it more often, say every 6 to 8 hours. This prevents the underwear from becoming too saturated, which not only feels uncomfortable but also increases the risk of irritation. As soon as you notice that the crotch on the sides begins to get moist, this is a sign that it is time to change your menstrual underwear.
Designed specifically for heavier menstrual days, our Onyx Panties offer high absorbency. They are even suitable for all-night wear without worrying about leaking or discomfort.
