CAN I GO INTO THE WATER WITH PERIOD-BEACHWEAR ? HOW DOES THE PERIOD-BEACHWEAR WORK ?
Light to moderate period: Yes. When you are in the water, the blood cannot leave your body because of the water pressure. When you come out of the water, the blood will naturally escape and flow into your swimming costume (replacing the water in the absorbent part). Blood contains iron and is therefore heavier than water, which is why it settles to the bottom of your period swimwear. If you have moderate to heavy menstruation, the period beachwear is better suited to be used as extra protection to the tampon or menstrual cup. In this case, we do not recommend wearing the period beachwear alone when swimming.
IS THERE A FEELING OF MOISTURE?
The thin, multi-layer technology built into our underwear is designed to absorb moisture without a 'nappy feel'. Our moisture-wicking barrier prevents a damp feeling from developing, so you stay clean and dry. If it does feel damp, that's a very good sign that it's time to change your underwear.
IS PERIOD-BEACHWEAR HYGIENIC?
Yes, the blood is safely contained within the fabric. However, if you have a medium to heavy period, we recommend using the underwear as beachwear and not as swimwear. But if you have a medium to heavy period, you should wear it as beachwear or as extra protection to go with your tampon or menstrual cup.
