FAQs
Period panties look and feel like regular underwear but come with an innovative design featuring three advanced layers sewn into the gusset. Blushproof period panties are crafted for superior comfort and protection during your cycle:
- Wicking Layer: This layer actively draws moisture away from your body, keeping you dry and comfortable throughout the day.
- Absorbing Layer: Designed to lock in your flow, this layer ensures reliable absorption for light to heavy periods.
- Waterproofing Layer: Provides ultimate leak-proof security, so you can confidently tackle your day without worries.
To enhance freshness, our wicking fabric is infused with SILVADUR™ technology, which effectively controls odours, keeping you feeling clean and confident.
At Blushproof®, we’re always working to make our products better for you! That’s why we've decided to make our period underwear in our two most popular absorbencies, being Moderate and Heavy. The Swim period bottoms come in Light only in order to ensure that the pad is discreet and that it doesn't draw too much water into the pad.
Here’s a breakdown of our updated absorption levels to help you find the perfect fit for your flow:
Light - Swimwear
- Features a shorter gusset with a single absorbing layer nestled between the leakproof and wicking layers.
Moderate - Panties
- Same shorter gusset but with a double absorbing layer for extra protection.
- Great for moderate flow days.
Heavy - Panties
- Comes with a longer gusset (extended in the front and back) and a double absorbing layer for secure protection.
- Ideal for heavy flow days or overnight use.
While we’d love for everyone to hand wash their Blushproof® period panties, we understand it’s not always convenient. That’s why we’ve designed them to be easy to care for.
Follow these simple steps to keep your Blushproofs in top condition:
- Rinse First: Give your period panties a rinse under running water until the water runs clear.
- Use a Mesh Laundry Bag: Place them in a mesh laundry bag for extra protection before machine washing.
- Machine Wash: Wash with similar colours, max 40°C water and a gentle detergent.
Important Care Tips:
- No fabric softener: It stops the wicking layer from absorbing your flow by creating a film on top of the pad.
- No bleach: It can damage the protective layers.
- No tumble dryer or iron: Air-drying is best to preserve the quality.
First Wash Reminder
- Don’t forget to wash your Blushproofs before their first use. The fabric is uniquely designed to perform better after the initial wash, maximising the absorbent capabilities.
- By following these care instructions, your Blushproof® period panties will stay durable, effective, and ready to support you cycle after cycle.
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer, as everyone’s flow is different. On average, most people experience the heaviest flow on days 2 and 3, so heavier absorption panties or more frequent changes may be needed on these days. Some customers can manage with just 3 panties for their entire cycle, washing them after each use whilst others may need to change every 2-4 hours due to a heavier flow.
We recommend testing your Blushproof® period panties at home in a comfortable setting to see what works best for you. But to answer the question-having at least 3 panties is a good starting point!
The SILVADUR™ treatment in the wicking fabric helps prevent odours, so you don't have to worry about smell. Avoid using vinegar, Soda Ash or Soda crystals, as these can affect the leakproof layer. For a natural option, we recommend SoPure's Lingerie Laundry wash, a locally made product that’s perfect for keeping your Blushproof® panties fresh and in top condition.
At Blushproof®, we've designed our period panties to fit the diverse body types of our Rainbow Nation. Whether you're short, tall, or somewhere in between, our styles cater to every shape.
Our sizing is true to size- no more Extra Smalls disguised as Mediums! Choose your usual size for a snug fit, which helps prevent leaks. If they’re too loose, they might feel more like a diaper.
Absolutely! Blushproof® offers a leakproof swim bottom which can be used paired with your favourite bikini top or under a full costume (especially great for school swimming!)
Our Period Swim Bottoms are designed with light to moderate absorbency, making them perfect for managing your flow whilst swimming. Our advanced fabrics prevent leaks both in and out of the water, so you can swim worry-free. For all-day activities, we recommend carrying a spare in a leakproof pouch for easy changes.
In our journey to find the best fabrics, we've sourced high-quality materials from suppliers around the world. The most important fabrics are those in the gusset, designed to wick and absorb your flow whilst preventing leaks. We're confident that these carefully chosen fabrics will perform exactly as needed, without any nasty chemicals.
At Blushproof®, we’re not just passionate about creating high-quality period panties- we’re also dedicated to exceptional customer service. Designed and made locally, our products cater to the diverse needs of our amazing Rainbow Nation.
