When it comes to managing your period, selecting the right protection can boost your confidence and greatly impact how you feel. While many of us have grown up using traditional pads, there's a new contender that's changing the game: period underwear. So how do period panties work? It’s not magic, though it certainly feels like it. Rather, super thin and absorbent layers absorb and hold your flow to prevent leaks while leaving you feeling dry. Plus at Saalt, our period undies are not treated with PFAs; rather your health and safety are our top priority.
Here’s why period panties could make your period not only more comfortable but also a bit easier to manage:
- Ultimate comfort
Let’s face it, pads can often feel bulky, thick, and awkward. Period pants, on the other hand, feel just like your favorite pair of undies or beautiful lingerie. They’re made from super-soft, breathable fabrics that move with you, so you can go about your day without feeling restricted. No more need for suffering through that “I’m definitely wearing a pad” feeling, so grab your favorite pair of leakproof underwear and live life to the fullest.
- Subtle and invisible
Ever worry about your pad showing through your outfit? With leakproof underwear, you can skip that stress. They’re designed to be as comfortable and subtle as regular underwear, so you can wear whatever you like without worrying about visible panty lines or bulk. Whether you’re in leggings, your favorite dress, or those jeans that make your derrière look amazing, period panties blend seamlessly into your wardrobe. Our Seamless Collection is perfect for blending in with your wardrobe without sacrificing protection.
Worried about leaks or mid-day changes on your heaviest days? We’ve got you covered with our moisture-proof Saalt Wear Go Bag. Just throw an extra pair in and toss it in your bag so you can change into a fresh pair as needed on the go and have a secure place to store your used ones until you can clean them. Just as simple as changing your pad, but without the noisy wrapper pull.
- Absorbent power
Leakproof panties aren’t just about comfort; they’re also about performance. These panties are made with super-absorbent layers that can handle everything from light spotting to heavy flow with the right pair. They’re designed to keep you dry and leak-free, so you can go about your day, or night, with confidence. Plus, they help control odor for an added level of protection. And these absorbent beauties are also a great option for managing everyday discharge, sweat, and minor bladder leaks so you can use them all month long, not just on your period.
- Eco-friendly choice
If you’re looking to make more eco-conscious choices, period underwear is a great option. Unlike disposable pads that end up in landfills, period panties are reusable. Just gently wash and dry them, and they’re ready for your next cycle. We recommend using our specially formulated Saalt Wear Detergent to help them last even longer. No more hoards of pads taking up precious real-estate under your sink!

- Save money over time
Initially, period underwear might seem like a splurge compared to buying a pack of pads. But when you add it up, they’re actually a cost-effective choice. With proper care, they can last for years, whereas you’ll keep buying pads month after month. Investing in leakproof panties now wll save you money in the long run.
- Up for anything - versatile styles that fit your life
Period underwear is also incredibly versatile. No matter what your day has in store, there’s a style of period panties designed for it. You can find options that fit your needs for different activities, making your period routine a lot easier to manage. Sweat proof underwear like what’s in our Light Day Workout Bundle are perfect for an intense HIIT class or all the angles of a yoga class, whereas our lingerie-inspired Lace & Mesh Period Underwear are the perfect match to your date-night LBD. And you can rest easy at night knowing you are fully covered and blissfully comfortable with our ultra comfy Cotton Sleep Short.
- The perfect companion to your menstrual disc or period cup
If you already love the comfort and protection that you have from your menstrual cup or reusable menstrual disc but feel like a little peace of mind for leaks or overflows would be helpful, then period underwear is the perfect sidekick for ultimate protection. The only downside? You might completely forget you’re on your period because it’s so unnoticeable; maybe set a reminder on Alexa or Siri to change your menstrual disc or period cup as needed.
- A great option for teens and those new to their periods
Pads are typically every young teen’s introductory period care product once their period starts. And honestly, nothing zaps the fun out of celebrating this momentous moment like a bulky, crinkly pad. Period care options should be carefree and effective because no one should hate their period. Saalt offers a full teen suite of period care options including the Saalt Teen Collection, Leakproof Brief, and the Saalt Teen Menstrual Cup. Saalt Teen Leakproof Panties offer a light and comfy fit packed with tons of absorbent protection including fun colors and a fit perfect for tweens and teens. Saalt has confidence covered.
