Why These Ladies Cotton Underpants Deserve a Spot in Your Top Drawer

Let’s be real: when was the last time you actually thought about your underwear? Not just tossed on a pair, but really considered how they make you feel? Because if your undies aren’t comfy, breathable, and confidence-boosting, they’re not doing their job.

And that’s where Fri Period's ladies cotton underpants come in. They’re the quiet MVP of your wardrobe. Soft, breathable, better for your body and the planet? Total win.

Why Cotton Is Queen

Cotton is a natural versatile fibre that lets your skin breathe—especially important when it comes to your intimate parts. Synthetic fabrics might look cute on a hanger, but they can trap heat and moisture, creating a breeding ground for bacteria. Not exactly ideal.

Enter organic cotton (like the kind we use at Fri Period). It's gentle, hypoallergenic, and free from harsh chemicals. Plus, it's biodegradable and better for the planet. Yes, your underwear can be both comfy and eco-conscious. And if you’re wondering—yes, we use organic cotton.

Designed for Comfort (And Real Bodies!)

We’re not all the same shape. Period. That’s why our underwear for women is designed to actually fit a range of real body types. No pinching waistbands, no awkward ride-ups. Just ultra-soft, full coverage, high waisted underwear that moves with you.

Need proof? Our Classic Period Brief, Boxer Brief, and Hipster Brief are all customer faves. They're designed to keep you comfy whether you're lounging, lifting, or navigating the first day of your period.

Leakproof Layers That Work Overtime

These aren’t your average panties. Our cotton underwear has built-in layers that absorb leaks, wick away moisture, and stop odours in their tracks. So whether you’re spotting, on your heaviest day, or just want backup for your menstrual cup, you’re covered—literally.

Say goodbye to the pad shuffle or the emergency bathroom dash (if you know you know!). Say hello to freedom and all-day comfort.

Better for the Planet (And Your Budget)

Let’s do the maths. Disposable period products = hundreds of dollars a year, plus loads of waste. Our reusable cotton panties are not only better for the earth, they’re better for your bank account, too.

With proper care, your underwear collection can last years. That’s a whole lot of periods made easier.

How to Care for Your Cotton Undies

Worried about keeping them fresh? Don’t stress. Just rinse them after wear, toss them in a cold wash (ideally in a mesh bag), and hang them to dry. No fabric softener, no bleach—just gentle love for long-lasting performance.

You can also grab our Waterproof Wet Bag to make laundry day even easier.

Final Thoughts: Time to Upgrade Your Top Drawer

Your body deserves better than stiff, synthetic briefs. The kind of underwear for women that supports your body through bloating, cramps, workouts, and naps. That’s what you’ll find at Fri Period: comfy, sustainable, ladies cotton underpants made to move with you through every cycle.

Whether you prefer a high waist brief, cotton full brief, or bikini briefs,—our styles have got your back (and your front).

So go ahead—ditch the disposables. Your vagina (and the planet) will thank you.
