Menstrual swimwear looks like regular swimwear but features a technical double-layered gusset that quickly wicks moisture and prevents leaks. The fabrics are breathable, fast-drying, and offer protection during menstruation or light bladder leakage. This allows you to swim, sunbathe, and move with confidence, sustainably and comfortably.

Summer is just around the corner, and that means long days at the beach and refreshing dips in the pool. But for many of us, this brings a specific challenge: what do you do if you want to swim during your period? Don't worry, we have the solution for a carefree swim and sunbathing experience.

How does period swimwear work?

At first glance, our period swimwear looks like any other swimwear. But appearances can be deceiving. This line features a technical double-layer gusset : a mesh upper layer that quickly wicks moisture away for optimal comfort, and a PU lower layer for maximum protection. This duo works together to keep you dry and confident, while also being breathable and drying quickly after a swim. So go ahead, jump in the water, and enjoy every wave, worry-free.

How do you care for menstrual swimwear?

Caring for your period swimwear isn't difficult. Rinse your swimwear under cold water after use to remove salt and chlorine, and then wash it on a gentle cycle up to a maximum of 40°C*. It's important to avoid fabric softener to keep the protective layers intact. Thanks to the quick-drying materials, your swimwear will be ready for your next swim in no time.
