How long can I wear period underwear? 

We recommend that you change your period undies at least once every 3-4 hours. Ensure you are changing them as frequently as other period products like pads and tampons. This is the best way to prevent leaking. It will also help you feel more comfortable and confident as you go about your day. If you do have a heavy flow, you might want to take some extra precautions and change them a little sooner.

 

How long does period underwear last? 

Period underwear can be worn over and over again. However, we do recommend replacing them when you notice they aren’t quite as functional as before. Period underwear can last anywhere from 6-12 months, or even longer if you take good care of them. To ensure you get the most out of your period undies, be sure to wash them gently and avoid using fabric softeners or bleach. After all, looking after your underwear properly can help keep them fresher for longer.
