All About Menstrual Panties

Modern technologies constantly surprise consumers with improved inventions, including in the field of feminine hygiene. So, relatively recently, menstrual pants were presented on the market.

The menstrual panties are an innovative hygiene device for women created by the British company WUKA and quickly spread around the world. This gadget for menstruation looks like usual panties, but with a special waterproof insert. Some can be a full-fledged alternative to pads or tampons, while others can only cope with safety net.

Menstrual panties are 95% cotton, and a special insert in the crotch and buttocks area, tactilely similar to cellophane, is formed from an ultra-absorbent fiber that does not allow blood to appear, due to the moisture resistance of its outer surface. The almost completely natural composition allows air to pass through and allows the skin to breathe, preventing the "greenhouse effect" and diaper rash. The increased density of the product in the area of ​​the protective insert does not cause any discomfort, in addition, being coated with special silver, it is antibacterial. The special material eliminates unpleasant odors and prevents tissue inflammation.

It is worth mentioning that innovative underwear looks very modern... Women's panties for menstruation can have a high waist and completely cover the buttocks or be graceful slips and even thongs.Another significant advantage of hygiene products is the presence of a pocket for tucking the wings of the gasket, which may be needed if there is too much discharge. A hygienic device is indispensable as a safety net during travel, flights and similar events, they also come to the aid of girls with heavy menstruation. Such underwear will be an ideal option for the first day of menstruation, when it is not really clear at what time female attributes will still be required.

A relative disadvantage is the absorption rate of some models. For girls with gynecological problems, prolonged contact of the mucous membrane with blood can become critical. It is also necessary to clarify that not all variants are capable of absorbing blood clots.

Usually panty briefs differ in "spaciousness". So, the most "roomy" model from Thinx - Hiphugger, can absorb 28 grams of blood, which is equivalent to the absorbency of two tampons. Thinx Cheeky, equivalent to one tampon, is suitable for "light" days or used on normal days with a menstrual cup, pad or regular tampon. Thong from Thinx designed for very small secretions, equal to half the volume of an average tampon. Chikinis with covered buttocks are suitable for medium discharge twice the volume. Finally, Slips from Thinx - classic closed underwear, used for heavy periods.

Reusable menstruation briefs must be distinguished from maternity underwear. Postpartum disposable panties are made of non-woven materials - polyester and elastane and are used to securely fix the pads. Elastic, well-stretching, mesh models can be used not only in the postpartum period, but also after gynecological interventions, during menstruation or during urinary incontinence. Breathable models, close to the body, are made of breathable material, which promotes accelerated healing of postoperative sutures.
