The Ultimate Guide to Your Period Underwear
Period care has come a long way, and period underwear is at the heart of this change. At Cherrystain, we believe in making periods more comfortable, sustainable, and stress-free for every menstruator. If you're new to period underwear or wondering how to get the most out of it, this blog is for you.
Why Choose Period Underwear?
Period underwear is a reusable, absorbent, and comfortable alternative to disposable pads and tampons. It’s designed to absorb menstrual blood, prevent leaks, and offer you peace of mind—whether you’re out and about, at work, or sleeping through the night. No plastic, no rash, no worries.
Unlike disposables that create heaps of waste, our underwear can be washed and reused, making it a more sustainable and cost-effective solution over time.
How to Use Period Underwear?
Using period underwear is simple. You wear it just like regular underwear. Depending on your flow and comfort level, you can wear it:
On its own (as your only protection)
As a backup to a tampon or menstrual cup
Before your period starts (if you're unsure of the exact day)
Towards the end of your cycle, when the flow is light
After use, rinse your underwear in cold water, then hand or machine wash (no fabric softeners or bleach), and air dry. With proper care, they’ll last you many cycles.
When to Wear It?
Our underwear comes in 4 styles—each made with different absorbencies to suit your needs. You can wear:
Light absorbency styles for spotting, discharge, or end-of-period days
Medium absorbency for regular flow
Heavy absorbency for your heavier days or overnight
A mix of styles depending on what your body needs throughout your cycle
Whether you’re heading out for errands, working long shifts, or cozying up at home, there’s a Cherrystain style for every moment.
