It's also great if you're expecting your period, so you don't have to worry about anything at the beach or pool. There are various styles of bottoms that you can easily match with your favorite top, or you can opt for a stylish swimsuit.

It is important that the swimwear fits well, because both the crotch and the outer fabric ensure that you do not leak.

Layer 1

Mesh

The crotch is made of a special mesh fabric that absorbs and locks in leaks and odors . This mesh fabric also has a water-repellent layer that prevents moisture from entering the outer panties. The fabric is also treated with an antibacterial wash, making it hygienic and odorless.

Layer 2

PU

The second layer is a water-repellent fabric (polyurethane) that ensures that you do not leak.

A pair of panties that absorb moisture and repels water, how is that possible?

The secret is in the fit. Our swimwear must fit snugly to your body at the legs to ensure that the leak-proof technology can do its job properly while you run in and out of the water.

What is the difference between period swimwear and period underwear?

Our swimwear is completely different from our underwear. The technology is in the innovative design. Our gussets contain layers of absorbent fabric, also called terry, compared to swimwear which only has one absorbent layer. Namely the PU layer.
