FAQ
HOW DOES A PERIOD PANTY WORK?
Our padded panties consist of four absorbent layers engineered to effectively absorb your flow. For more details, check out our how it works page.
HOW DO I WASH IT?
All it takes is an initial rinse, followed by regular detergent wash in the machine or by hand. Hang dry and re-use! Watch the video here.
DOES IT WORK FOR HEAVY FLOWS?
Yes totally! The heavy styles of our reusable period panties can absorb up to 6 pads of blood in one go!
HOW MUCH FLUID CAN IT ABSORB?
We have 3 different absorbency levels:
- Medium - absorbs up to 2 pads (12ml) of fluid
- Heavy - absorbs up to 4 pads (26ml) of fluid
- Super Heavy - absorbs up to 6 pads (40ml) of fluid
Know more about our flow absorbency levels check here.
WILL I SMELL IF I WEAR A PERIOD UNDERWEAR?
When you use the toilet and the underwear is exposed in front of you, then yes, you will recognise the odour. But since the menstrual panty is underneath your clothes - the smell doesn't perspire.
CAN I RETURN IT?
Due to the nature of the product, we cannot accept returns for hygiene reasons. If your product is damaged by any means, we will gladly refund. More details on our refund policy here.
HOW LONG CAN I WEAR A PERIOD PANTY?
It depends on your flow! Nushu girls have worn Nushu leak proof period panties for up to 24 hours! We recommend anywhere between 12-24 hours! Say goodbye to changing 4 times a day ;)
HOW MANY PERIOD UNDERWEARS DO I NEED?
You’ll need around 4-6 pairs of reusable period panties to get you through a cycle.
CAN I USE A PERIOD PANTY FOR POSTPARTUM BLEEDING?
Absolutely! Our period underwear will be much more gentle on you than disposable pads. If you have just delivered, you are our queen and we want to give you the best postpartum care.
CAN I WEAR THESE THROUGH THE NIGHT?
It depends on your flow. It's common for one to bleed less at night, if that's you, you should be able to manage with any of the styles through the night. If your flow is heavy at night then we suggest you use our Hip Hugger or Lace Bikini as these styles have absorbent padding that extends all the way back to the waist.
HOW LONG CAN THESE PADDED UNDERWEARS LAST?
Nushu period panties can last you 2 years.
DO I NEED TO WEAR A TAMPON/PAD/CUP WITH THE PERIOD UNDERWEAR?
No! Our padded panty will offer you full support. Just make sure you are wearing the right absorbency period panty based on your flow.
