Despite filling your Pinterest with cute \u2018fit ideas, it can be SO hard to find something that feels looks good, suits the occasion, and feels comfortable. And then we have to do it again tomorrow? It\u2019s enough to make you wish for an invisibility cloak!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These outfit decisions can all feel extra difficult when it feels like our body looks totally different every day, which always seems to happen around our period. Plus, it feels like there should be some rules to what you should and shouldn\u2019t wear on your period, right? White pants, for example, seem like tempting fate for an unexpected leak. And maybe you\u2019ve heard somewhere that you shouldn\u2019t wear thongs on your period?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re here to lay down the law when it comes to what not to wear while on your period. You ready?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What Clothes Shouldn\u2019t You Wear on Your Period?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer: Anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s that simple, really! You can wear anything you want on your period\u2014as long as it makes you feel happy, comfortable, and confident. That can mean you rock extra fuzzy joggers all week or that you\u2019re in a corset and miniskirt. There\u2019s genuinely no medical reason not to wear what you want during your period.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, if you\u2019re worried about leaks, then maybe this isn\u2019t the best time of the month to wear your very favorite, absolutely-cannot-be-machine-washed light-colored silk shorts. (There is a reason, after all, why many people keep their extra old, hole-y and permanently-stained underwear to wear as \u2018period panties.\u2019) But you can also avoid desperately looking up<a href=\"https:\/\/www.intimina.com\/blog\/remove-period-stains\/\"> how to remove period bloodstains<\/a> at the end of the day by switching your menstrual care choice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Menstrual cups are a great option for this. Firstly, they are worn internally, so they collect blood before it ever gets the chance to leak over the edge of your underwear. And while a super tampon will hold 13ml of liquid, even our smallest Intimina cups easily beat that. Just check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intimina.com\/blog\/menstrual-cup-size-guide\/\">menstrual cup size chart<\/a>! If you\u2019re <em>still<\/em> feeling extra protective of your favorite outfit, you can always wear a liner as backup!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>And There\u2019s No Specific Material or Style of Clothing to Avoid?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re sure! Breathable, not-too-tight clothing helps some people avoid recurring infections like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intimina.com\/blog\/can-you-die-from-a-uti\/\">UTIs<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intimina.com\/blog\/yeast-infections-signs-avoid\/\">yeast infections<\/a>, but they\u2019re not necessary for everyone. Just follow our advice for having <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intimina.com\/blog\/tips-for-a-fresh-and-healthy-period\/\">a healthy, hygienic period<\/a> and you can wear what you like.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you struggle to pick out clothes each day?
