In a short time, period panties have become one of the flagship products in terms of hygienic protection. And for good reason, they have many advantages compared to single-use products: comfort, reinforced protection, cost savings, and respect for the environment.
Because of this success, many brands are offering period panties for women. As a result, there is now a wide range of products which differ in their style, shape, price, and material. With so many choices, it is important to know which options to consider before taking the plunge and choosing your first period panties.
Choose period panties based on your flow
The first thing you should pay attention to in your search for the best period panties is the flow. A menstrual panty should be able to adapt to your blood flow during your period, whether you have a light, medium, or heavy flow. The main goal of menstrual panties is to provide you with the best possible protection during your period.
This means having enough absorbency to protect you for several hours during your cycle, especially at night when you're most vulnerable to leaks.
At DIM, we offer menstrual panties that can protect you for up to 12 hours with medium or heavy flow. Our medium flow panties absorb the equivalent of 2 tampons, while our heavy flow products absorb the equivalent of 3 tampons! So, choose the menstrual panty model that suits you best and provides the most protection during your period.
Making a menstrual panty: Look for a certified menstrual panty!
First and foremost, make sure that the menstrual underwear you choose is certified by the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 label. This worldwide certification ensures that the product contains no harmful substances for health and skin.
Once you've checked this, look into how the menstrual underwear is made. It should have at least three absorbent layers to ensure protection and comfort. After all, one of the promises of menstrual underwear is to retain moisture, preventing leaks and the feeling of dampness on the skin for maximum comfort.
At DIM, our menstrual briefs and shorts are made from organic cotton and have four absorbent layers for effective odor control and leak protection.
Period panties, yes—but affordable!
One major advantage of menstrual underwear is its financial benefit. Since menstrual underwear is washable and reusable, it will ultimately cost you less than disposable products like tampons or pads.
What is the environmental impact of my period panties?
Another important factor to consider when buying your period panties is the environment. Disposable feminine hygiene products impact the planet, while menstrual underwear helps reduce this impact through its reusability.
In addition to reducing the environmental impact of disposable hygiene products, menstrual underwear can be made with organic cotton. Creating eco-friendly underwear is possible, and organic cotton is key to that effort. Dim has been committed to offering organic cotton lingerie to its customers for some time, so it’s only natural that, for our DIM PROTECT line of menstrual underwear, we offer organic cotton briefs and shorts certified by the Ecocert Greenlife label.

Pour entretenir au mieux votre culotte menstruelle nous vous conseillons de la laver une première fois avant usage. Une fois votre culotte utilisée, nous vous recommandons de la rincer à l’eau froide puis de la laver à la main ou en machine à 30°. Le séchage est préférable à l’air libre et nous déconseillons le repassage ainsi que l’usage d’un adoucissant en grande quantité lors du lavage.
Combien de culottes menstruelles acheter ?
Si vous souhaitez utiliser uniquement des culottes de règles durant votre cycle, nous vous conseillons d’utiliser au moins 4 culottes menstruelles, afin d’avoir le temps de laver vos culottes et qu’elles sèchent. Si, toutefois, vous souhaitez alterner culottes de règles et protections hygiéniques, vous pouvez vous contenter de deux culottes menstruelles.
Peut-on se baigner avec une culotte menstruelle ?
Non, la culotte menstruelle est un sous-vêtement tout comme votre soutien-gorge, il n’est donc pas conseillé de se baigner avec.
