Best Period Underwear for a Heavy Flow
Like us, no period is the same. So, when it comes to managing your flow, the right period protection can make all the difference.
Here at Luna, we’ve got you covered for all flows (yes, even for your heaviest!!)
What Makes Period Briefs Good for Heavy Flow?
Comfort, protection and peace of mind are non-negotiable and if you have a heavy flow, here’s what to look for to give you just that.
- Absorbency - the more layers, the more absorbent. When shopping Love Luna period briefs, keep your eye out for those that offer 5 layers of protection for that additional layer of absorbency. Our Super Period Briefs absorb up to 40mL of blood, thanks to this extra layer!
- Full Coverage - extra coverage within the style of brief, means a great alternative when moving around or overnight, so you get better protection where and when you need it most.
- Secure fit - ensuring you get the right fit is crucial when shopping period briefs. Opt for briefs that are a little snugger to avoid them shifting during movement.
Why Make the Switch to Period Briefs?
If comfort, sustainability and savings are on your mind, period briefs are just the thing for you! A serious upgrade from disposable protection like pads, our period underwear is reusable, made to fit just how you need and designed to prevent leaks without the bulk of traditional period protection.
- Cost effective - a single pair of period briefs can replace hundreds of disposables. Reusable, washable and made to last wear after wear.
- Worry free - add an extra layer of protection to your period care.
- Comfort first - say goodbye to bunching and irritation and hello to a comfort first period. PERIOD.
Best Styles for Heavy Periods
We offer several styles suitable even for your heaviest days and nights.
Our Super Period range is a top pick of course, as the name suggests these briefs feature an additional super absorbent layer that absorbs between 4 -5 regular tampons' worth of your flow.
These are a must-have for:
- Overnight period protection
- Heavy flow days and those who experience blood clots
- Postpartum recovery
Some favourite styles for our fellow heavy bleeders are Super Period Full Brief and Super Period Short.
(Pssst, Luna insider knowledge - is your heaviest flow even heavier? Our Incontinence Briefs are ultra-heavy approved and are a great alternative for those seeking more absorbency.)
How To Wash and Care for Period Briefs
Washing your period underwear is super simple! After use, rinse in cold water until the water runs clear and place into a washbag. Then put period briefs into the washing machine with like colours on a cold wash cycle. Once complete avoid tumble drying, instead hang to dry in sunlight where possible to help naturally kill any remaining bacteria. It’s as simple as that, ready to go for another wear!
Don’t just take our word for it…
“The very best I have tried. Highly recommend!”
“I am so happy with these panties!!!! Finally, I was able to find briefs in my size, plus with an absorption zone big enough for my flow. I slept better (no leakage) and feel comfortable and "safe" at work!!! It's really a game changer for me. I need 2 sanitary pads (heavy absorption) for 4 hours, always fearing leakage, need to check if it's in the correct place... now with these briefs, my mind is free!!!! I'm really really happy and thankful!!! Keep making great products like that, in a wide size range.”
“These underpants are a lifestyle changer. I have been using these for the last couple of years.”
“I am obsessed with this period underwear!!! They are the only brand without a painful waistband that cuts into you while you're bloated and in pain. Super comfy and soft fabric makes the whole ordeal of a period so much more manageable. Lifelong customer unlocked fr.”
