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.
