Our multi-layer gusset works quietly in the background to keep you dry and comfortable:

  • Fast-absorbing inner layers to lock in flow

Provides up to 8–10 hours of protection, depending on your flow.

GUSSET STRUCTURE

All Cherrystain period underwear — across every absorbency level — are built with the same intelligent 3-layer gusset system, designed to work together seamlessly. The top layer wicks moisture away from your skin. The middle layer absorbs and locks in fluid. The bottom layer acts as a breathable leakproof barrier. Different absorbencies adjust the capacity — but the core technology remains consistent, reliable, and engineered for comfort.

The layer closest to your skin is engineered to pull fluid away instantly through capillary action.
Made with high-density absorbent fibres, it traps and locks fluid within its structure, preventing backflow.
This layer ensures reliable leak protection without trapping heat or causing discomfort.

Care Guide

Wash Before First Wear 1

Wash Before First Wear

Always wash your period underwear before using it for the first time. This activates the absorbent fibres and ensures optimal performance.

Rinse 2

Rinse in Cold Water

After use, rinse and gently squeeze under cold running water until it runs clear. Avoid soaking, as this can affect the fabric structure.

Cold wash 3

Machine Wash Gently

Wash on a gentle cycle (30–40°C). A laundry bag is recommended. Do not use fabric conditioner, softener, or bleach, as these can reduce absorbency.

Hang dry 4

Hang to Dry

Air dry only. Avoid tumble drying or direct high heat to maintain the integrity of the absorbent and leakproof layers.
