FAQS

WHY WEAR PROTECTIVE PANTIES?

• IT'S BETTER FOR YOUR HEALTH. Pads, tampons and liners are toxic and contain chemical byproducts, such as dioxin, which is linked to cancer, endocrine disruption, and reproductive toxicity. Use of pads, tampons and liners increase your risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS).
• IT'S BETTER FOR THE PLANET. Pads, tampons and liners cannot be recycled. Over 20 billion feminine hygiene products are dumped into North American landfills every year.
• YOU CAN SAVE MONEY! Feminine hygiene products are expensive. It is estimated that Canadian women spend at least $6,000 - $8000 in their lifetime, and 1 in 3 women struggle to afford feminine hygiene products contributing to Period Poverty.
• IT'S COMFORTABLE & EASY TO USE. Period, prenatal and postpartum hygiene are a major source of stress for women, with little options to address this concern. Protective Panties make your life easier without all the steps usually involved with period, prenatal and postpartum management.

WHO CAN USE PROTECTIVE PANTIES?

Anyone! Besides being a Mama's Best Friend, these panties can be used by all generations! As Girl Moms, we encourage Mamas to get these for your daughters, even your Aunts or Grandmas. They are designed to be used for your period and beyond!

HOW LONG CAN I WEAR MY PROTECTIVE PANTY?

It totally depends on what you are using it for - your period, prenatal, postpartum or just that extra protection on a daily basis.

For periods, every woman bleeds differently. So see what works best for you and your flow. On lighter days, your panty could last all day and night. On heavier days, you may want to change it every 3-4 hours. So we encourage you to use them according to your own individual needs!

HOW WILL I KNOW WHEN TO CHANGE MY PROTECTIVE PANTY

Use your own discretion and intuition. It's similar to changing a pad or tampon. 

HOW MANY PANTIES DO I NEED?

These panties are so comfortable, you will want to wear them all the time! They will turn into your everyday panty, just for the sheer comfort of them.

Depending on what you are using them for, you may want to have a few panties so you can rotate them as you need. For instance, if you are using the panty for your period, we recommend at least 5-10 so you have enough to change in to and wash as you need.
