Our top three reasons for why we love leakproof underwear
Periods can be a hassle, so let's at least make them feel less so by wearing comfortable underwear that's easy to use and safe to wear.
There are many benefits to using period underwear instead of conventional period products. That said, periods are a deeply personal matter, and only you know what works for you.
If you're curious about trying leakproof underwear, but still not fully sure about it, remember that it doesn't need to be a full switch.
If you currently use the cup, disc or tampon, it can actually be a pretty perfect match to combine that with leakproof underwear. We've got our Light absorbency which is just amazing as cup/disc/tampon back-up instead of pantyliners, plus it doubles as the perfect(!) solution for the last days of your period, where you only bleed a little, and the tampon or cup and be unpleasant to remove due to dryness (haven't we all been there? NOT a nice feeling!).
If you prefer to continue to use your current period product during your days at the office for example then you might want to switch to leakproof underwear overnight. They can hold so much more blood than other period products, and you can sleep worryfree no matter how much you move around at night - our boxer styles Layla and Nour are particularly popular for overnight and truly feel like a hug, so so comfy. We've got various absorbencies with Super Plus being able to absorb the equivalent of 6-7 pads or tampons! For many, Moderate absorbency is sufficient, even at night. Check our absorbency guide for more information.
No matter what you choose, here's our top three reasons for why we love leakproof underwear:
1. Comfort
No folded glue sticking to your skin, no dry tampons, no plastic next to your intimate parts, no annoying odours. Instead, everything staying in place, absorbing as needed, and keeping you dry.
At Hala, we’ve walked the extra mile of ensuring a super comfortable fit also. To us, that means super soft non-synthetic fabrics with no polyester in the absorbent gusset layers, absolutely no tight elastics that chafe, and fit testing on various body types and sizes.
2. Ease
If you’ve tried, you know it. Just putting on a pair of underwear and not having to worry about leaks feels a little bit like magic. Especially overnight!
If washing is a worry, we assure you, it’s really quite simple. Just rinse in cold water after use if bloody, and then wash with your regular washing cycle along with your other clothes, and air dry.
Check our care guide for more details.
3. Safety
Sadly, most conventional period products are full of not only plastics, bleach and glue, but also potentially harmful chemicals. Check our journal piece Do you know what's in your period products? for more details on this.
At Hala, we only use fabrics that are as a minimum either GOTS or OEKO-TEX certified, and we’ve eliminated all unnecessary synthetic fibres, including no polyester in the absorbent gusset layers, and absolutely no silver-treatment of the fabrics.
By using our Super Light or Light absorbencies, you can also get rid of pantyliners!
