We loathe periods simply because of how horrible they are. Everything seems to be saturated when you're on your period because not only are you literally bleeding, pushing through cramps and dealing with all the hormonal imbalances, but also because you have to be on top of menstrual hygiene and favour an armour (in the form of sanitary pads, tampons and menstrual cups) to keep things sorted. But, at times, it is your armour itself that causes the most discomfort because no one can realistically enjoy the awkward feeling of something plastic-y brushing against their body through the day. And so, in the world of tampons, pads and even cups a newer concept — period panties have taken precedence. 

What are period panties? Period panties are nothing but literal underwear made with a special quality of fabric that absorbs liquid without leaving any trace of wetness and odour behind. These are certainly an environment-friendly option too since they are reusable and are only required to be washed, very much unlike pads and tampons that need to be changed (and thrown away) every few hours. If you too are intrigued and want to give period panties a try, then check out our recommendations for the best period panties available in India below.

This one's great for your light to moderately heavy flow days and is a steal buy for the price point. Crafted with multi absorbent layers in bamboo cotton fabric that wicks moisture away, it provides great protection for periods, pregnancy and everyday discharge. The leak-proof layer runs from front all the way to the back and we kinda like how it offers full rear coverage with mid rise at the waist for a snug fit for everyday wear since low rise can be a little less reassuring when you are on your cycle.

Sizing: S - 2XL

Available In: 5 different colours

This pair is ideal for those who are tired of staining their clothes and need an underwear that offers ultra absorption to safeguard you against leakages from front, back, or sides.

How To Wash Your Period Panty

Period panties are to be washed after your full day of use. Firstly, rinse your underwear thoroughly in running water till there's no blood and the water runs clear. Then, machine wash or hand wash your Nushu underwear with detergent. Let them air dry, do not use a dryer and voila, they are good to used again!
