How do menstrual panties work?
There is nothing very complicated. Menstrual panties or period panty has a super absorbent membrane sewn into the crotch. Depending on the model, this membrane (which can be called path) is more or less extensive. It can go up high in front or behind the panties.
This membrane has a strong absorption capacity without moving or swelling. It manages to store period blood without saturating it. Very often, and this is the case at Louloucup, menstrual panties are categorized according to the intensity of the menstrual flow: light, normal, medium heavy or hemorrhagic.
To give you a concrete example, our very heavy flow menstrual panties have an absorption capacity equivalent to 5 tampons. With these models, there is no risk of leaks!
How can I be sure that my period panties won't leak in the night?
At night, you stay in a lying position. On your back or stomach, you will stay in the same position for a long time. The blood will then tend to flow in the same direction. You must be sure of your hygienic protection in order to avoid any stain on pajamas or even on the sheets!
As said previously, we can only advise you to use menstrual panties with a very extensive absorption membrane in order to cover any eventuality and especially if you know of heavy periods or very abundant.
