It is a myth that perid blood is un-hygenic/dirty or it contains toxins. Biological fact is that Period blood is no less hygenic than any other human blood tissues. Unless someone is already infected with any blood-bourn disease, menstrual blood is not un-hygenic.Therefore hand washing the period panties is completely hygenic and sanitary. Key is to ensure proper cleaning and drying.
As for the disposables (pads/tampons), they create a huge amount of non degradable and non recyclable waste harmful for our planet. Also many women are known to have rashes / itchiness on intimate parts by using pads/tampons.
*Read wash care FAQs for more information on how to wash and dry period panties.
There are two major reasons, that period panties are better than pads/tampons.
One is that period panties are washable and reusable, so they can be used long term. While disposable period supplies create a huge amount of non degradable and non recyclable waste. Many countries are struggling with the task of managing disposable sanitary waste. If you surf the internet, you will find many articles indicating the severity of the disposable sanitary waste problem.
Second is that pads and tampons are known to give rashes and skin irritation issues in many women, while period panties help avoid them.
This does not mean that disposables are completely avoidable. They might be required in certain situations like while travelling / treckking (when washing or drying is not possible).
Having said that, the idea is to maximise the usage of sustainable period products like period panties as far as possible.
No, period panties are not bulky at all. Period panties are definitely thicker compared to your regular panties, but they are not bulky. You won't feel a thing while wearing them.
