Period underwear is a type of leak-protection undergarment designed to absorb blood during your period. Also called menstrual underwear, this product is a convenient, reusable option compared to traditional tampons and disposable pads. Period underwear differs from regular undies as they feature a multi-layer gusset. This multi-layer gusset provides absorbency and leak protection. Different period underwear styles have different levels of absorbency so be sure to know what type of coverage you need.
