Period underwear by Rose

Period underwear offers reliable protection and a comfortable fit, without disposable products. One key factor when choosing a style is its absorbency. Different styles suit different flow levels, times of day and activities.

In this article, we introduce the different absorbency levels of our period underwear and help you find the right style for your everyday life.

Why is absorbency so important in period underwear?

Your flow can vary considerably during your period. The right absorbency helps you:

  • feel secure and dry

  • change less often

  • move freely, whether during everyday activities, exercise or at night

Depending on the style, our underwear replaces 2 to 7 tampons, covering needs from light to heavy periods.

  • swim briefs for holidays, the pool or the beach

This gives you the right protection at every stage of your period.
