- Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) absorbing layer and outer textile of the pant.

- Natural rubber bands in the adjusted areas.

- Polyurethane impermeable layer below the BCI cotton absorbing layer.

- Compostable bag covering the thong.

- Cardboard envelope wrapping the bag, held with a small paper sticker.

- Wear it and forget to put a tampon or a pad. You can directly bleed onto the thong and it won't leak to your clothes.

- Since the thong is indicated for light flow, we recommend its use during the last days of your period or the first days, in combination with a menstrual cup.

- You can wear it up to 8 hours, but you know your flow best.

- Its capacity is of around 1-2 tampons flow.

- It is washing machine safe, although we recommend to rinse it after using it and throwing it into the washing machine.

- Wash it with dark clothes, at 40ºC and without fabric conditioner.

- It is not recommended to put it in the tumble drying, as it can make the underwear less absorbent over time and result in a much shorter life span of it.

- It can be used for many purposes from periods to postpartum discharge, endometriosis flow and bladder leaks.

- It is advisable to change and wash your underwear if you start smelling blood.

- If you leave the underwear soaking for more than a few hours, it can end up smelling mildewy and musty.

- To remove any smell from your period pants, dilute some white vinegar in a thin layer of water 1:3 (just enough to cover your underwear) and soak your underwear for 20 minutes. You can then place it in the wash and add some more vinegar to the wash load 1:5. You can also use few drops of essential oil of your choice in your wash load to further combat this.
