Few relish the monthly bleeding, cramps and scramble to stock up on tampons that come with the menstrual cycle. Periods are usually greeted by a weary sigh and a search in the knicker drawer for the big black pants. However, a new wave of period underwear is revolutionising the monthly cycle for many.
Period pants act as reusable period protection that absorb blood and can then be put in the washing machine. The general guidance is to change your period pants every four to six hours, but this can vary according to the brand, absorbency rating and the heaviness of your cycle.
