Good Underwear for Periods: The Comfy, Reusable Upgrade You Deserve

Let’s be real — periods can be a pain (literally). But finding good underwear for periods shouldn’t be. Whether you're dealing with leaks, discomfort, or just tired of filling up the bathroom bin with pads and tampons, there’s a better way: reusable period underwear.

Let’s talk about why period undies are changing the game, what makes a pair actually good, and how you can make your cycle comfier, leak-proof, and so much better for the planet.

Why Period Underwear Is a Total Game-Changer

You know that moment when you're out, your period starts, and you're stuck without a pad or tampon? Yeah — been there. But with leak-proof underwear and period briefs, you’ve got built-in period protection that actually works. Think:

No bulky pads.
No tampon strings.
No desperate sprints to the bathroom.

Fri Period undies look and feel like your everyday favourites, but come with a built-in absorbent gusset that holds up to 4 tampons’ worth. And they’re reusable. Just rinse, wash, repeat.

What Makes Underwear Good for Periods?

Here’s your checklist for period-proof perfection:

1. Leak-Proof Protection

This one’s non-negotiable. A good pair should handle your menstrual flow — from light spotting to heavy days — without drama. Our Classic Brief and Period Hipsters are built for all-day leak-proof protection and coverage.

2. Breathable, Natural Materials

Synthetic fabrics can trap moisture (ew). Go for undies made with organic cotton and bamboo — like all Fri Period styles. They’re gentle on your skin, moisture-wicking, and naturally antibacterial with an added anti-microbial layer.

3. No Crunchy Feels or Diaper Vibes

This isn’t the early 2000s. Your period underwear should feel like normal underwear — soft, sleek, comfy AF. Fri Period’s styles are designed to sit snugly without that diaper bulk.

4. Sustainable & Reusable

Why throw away when you can reuse? One pair of Fri Period undies can replace hundreds of menstrual products. That’s a win for your wallet and the planet. Welcome to sustainable period care.

5. Style You’d Actually Wear

Let’s not pretend looks don’t matter. Fri Period’s got styles that look cute in your drawer and on your bum.

How to Use Reusable Period Underwear (Spoiler: It’s Easy)

Put ’em on when your period starts.
Wear up to 8-12 hours depending on your menstrual flow.
Rinse in cold water after use.
Throw them in the wash (no fabric softener or bleach, please!)
Air dry, and they’re ready to go again.

They're your cycle's new BFF.

Better for You. Better for the Planet.

Every disposable you skip saves waste from landfill. Multiply that by every cycle, and it really adds up. Fri Period undies are designed to last years with proper care. They’re made from organic cotton and bamboo, and made without from polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

It’s sustainable period care with a conscience — without sacrificing comfort.
