A revolutionary trend is gaining momentum in menstrual products \u2013 period underwear. <\/span><\/p>\n

Whether worn as a standalone option or paired with menstrual cups for added protection, period underwear provides comfort and confidence throughout the menstrual cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Does Period Underwear Work?<\/h2>\n

INTIMINA<\/span> recently launched <\/span>Bloom period underwear<\/span><\/a>, which features a specially-engineered gusset lining that combines super-absorbent, breathable technology with a leak-proof membrane to keep you dry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The gusset quickly absorbs blood without added thickness so you can stay comfortable and dry. <\/span>Its main body and lining are 95% organic cotton and 5% spandex, and most importantly, body-safe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Use Menstrual Undewear?<\/h2>\n

Gone are the days of disposable pads and tampons. Instead, women are opting for a greener, more comfortable alternative that aligns with their eco-conscious values.<\/span><\/p>\n

It Holds More Blood<\/h3>\n

Bloom period underwear is designed to hold even a heavy<\/em> menstrual flow, up to 20 ml \/ 0.67 fl oz. of liquid, which is the <\/span>equivalent of 4 regular tampons per wear.<\/b><\/p>\n

For flows heavier than that, we suggest combining them with one of our menstrual cups.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s Cheaper than Single-Use Alternatives<\/h3>\n

On average, women spend more than $1,500 a year on throw-away products like pads and tampons. A box of 36 tampons is around $7, so opting for period underwear can save you that monthly cost to use towards other essentials.<\/p>\n

It’s Better for the Environment<\/h3>\n

As awareness grows around the environmental toll of disposable menstrual products, more women are embracing period underwear as a sustainable choice that not only reduces waste but also promotes a healthier, more natural approach to menstruation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To investigate what factors are most important to women when it comes to menstrual products,<\/span>\u00a0INTIMINA conducted a social media survey of <\/span>450 respondents. They found that <\/span>89% of respondents said they use reusable products for menstruation, either solely or combined with disposable menstrual products.<\/span><\/p>\n

Health is the most important reason (38%) for using reusable menstrual products, while other reasons are sustainability (31%) and saving money (20%).<\/span><\/p>\n

While most respondents use menstrual cups (81%), only 43% use menstrual underwear. Also, 32% always or sometimes use menstrual cups and underwear together.<\/span><\/p>\n

It Minimizes Leaks<\/h3>\n

For many menstruating individuals, leakage is a constant concern and the biggest fear during their periods. For <\/span>54% of respondents, reusable menstrual products like menstrual cups, discs, and menstrual underwear provide superior protection against leaks, giving them comfort and relieving them from stress caused by fear of leakage.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the demand for affordable and effective period products continues to rise, period underwear remains at the forefront as a reliable option. Couple that with heavier protection and less leakage and you may just discover the perfect menstrual product for you.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
