Guys, these are the real deal.
Period panties are hardly novel, but I’ve been admittedly hesitant to try them. On a scale of menstrual cup–which I find absolutely terrifying–to maxi-pad–an easier form of protection, period-proof panties fall somewhere in the middle. Every time I’ve contemplated my own period panties review and gotten this close to actually doing it, a flood of questions send me in the opposite direction.
“Back then, ‘sanitary step-ins,’ ‘sanitary aprons’ and ‘sanitary bloomers’ were all close – at least in terms of intention, if not technology – to what we know as period underwear today,” she says. As for when they got a modern makeover, we can trace that transition back to 1993, when Siemens’ co-founder Madeleine Shaw realized having a light flow meant pads were a waste and extremely uncomfortable.

Our undies come with removable inserts for extra coverage when you need it, but built-in protection when you don’t! ✨🛡✨ Period undies can also be used with tampons or menstrual cups, as well.
How to Use Another feature I personally loved–that’s also unique to Lunapad panties–is a removable cotton insert that allows users manage heavy flow or freshen their underwear throughout the day. Unfortunately, I experienced the downside of not using these the first day of my cycle because I decided to go without. By the end of the day, my panties were damp, but thankfully, not damp enough to cause any leakage.
The Eco-Friendly Benefits According to Siemens, the average menstruator will have 450 periods and throw away over 16,800 pads, tampons and applicators in their lifetime. And all of that goes into landfills that pollute oceans. In North America alone, it’s over 20 billion pads, tampons and applicators. Plus, it takes 500 years for that waste to decompose and the manufacturing process also pollutes our water and air.
