Have you ever thought about the ingredients in the products you use inside and outside your body?


More specifically, have you ever considered what ingredients are inside your most intimate products, such as your pads and tampons?


I have, and that’s why I made the switch from pads to period panties!

Menstruation isn’t a topic that’s heavily discussed on social media or within most of our personal lives- it’s typically considered taboo. Although it’s 2022, there is still a lot of misinformation and awkwardness surrounding the topic.


However, facts are facts and the truth is, pads/tampons are dangerous for our health and they become unsanitary very quickly.


Pads/Tampons contain harmful products such as


  • Pesticides

  • Rayon

  • Dioxin

  • Herbicides

  • Deodorant/Fragrances


All of which have no place near women’s intimate area, and can cause long-lasting health issues, such as:

  • Skin reactions

  • Allergies

  • Pelvic inflammation

  • Impaired thyroid function

  • Toxic shock syndrome

  • Cancer

  • Infertility

  • Diabetes

  • Endometriosis

  • Overall discomfort

Whether you have a heavy, long flow or a short, light flow- period panties could be just right for you! Period panties are designed to promote free bleeding, and they allow menstrual blood to be absorbed through the underwear without blocking the natural period flow.


Period panties look like traditional underwear, but they actually have extra layers of microfiber polyester underneath to capture menstrual blood. Because of their fibrous makeup, they are machine washable and reusable! This makes them very environmentally friendly & actually allows you to save money over time- since period panties are typically sold in packs of three.


Many people probably assume that period practices such as free bleeding and period panties are too ‘radical’ or demonstrate a lack of decency- but that couldn’t be farther from the truth! Based on the facts, choosing to make the switch to period panties shouldn’t be a difficult decision


On my journey to implement more holistic practices in my life, I decided on the whim to make the switch from pads to period panties about one year ago. It’s definitely a decision that I’m glad I made! I’ve found that period panties have not only saved me money, but have allowed me to feel more confident in myself while menstruating. There’s a new level of comfort and stress relief I feel whenever I think about my cycle and not having to purchase and wear pads.


When I think about the risks associated with wearing pads and tampons, my mind is at peace knowing I made the decision to not expose myself to them and actually stuck by my decision- despite potential judgment and my fears of trying something new!


If you are flirting with the idea of making the switch to period panties, take this as a sign!
