Let’s face it—periods can be a pain (literally and figuratively).But what if your period care routine could be an act of self-love and a win for the planet? That’s where sustainable menstrual products like period underwear come in. Not only do they keep you comfy and protected, they also cut down on waste and help you tune into your body in the most empowering way. Choosing reusable products also contributes to greater autonomy and confidence when managing your cycle.
Here’s your no-nonsense guide to making the switch, loving your cycle, and doing it all the Fri Period way.
Why Go Sustainable with Your Period Care?
Let’s start with the obvious: single-use pads and tampons generate a ton of waste. In fact, the average person will use over 11,000 disposable menstrual products in their lifetime. That’s a lot of trash (and money) down the drain.
Switching to sustainable menstrual products like period underwear or bamboo underwear helps reduce that environmental impact big time. Fri Periods are washable, reusable, and made with planet-loving natural materials. Bonus: they feel way better on your skin.
Reusable products drastically cut back on plastic waste and reduce your carbon footprint. And the best part? They often outperform disposable products when it comes to comfort level, absorbency, and overall vibe.

How to Care for Your Period Underwear
Don’t worry, it’s easier than you think. Just rinse in cold water, toss them in the wash (no fabric softener!), and let them air dry. That’s it. Take care of them, and they’ll take care of you for years.
Tip: If you notice lingering odours or a drop in absorbency, it might be time to replace them—typically every 2-3 years depending on usage.
Period Self-Care, Reimagined
Self-care during your period isn’t just bubble baths and chocolate (though we’re all for those too). It’s about choosing menstrual hygiene products that feel good, do good, and help you feel like your best self.
