Why Choose Reusable Period Underwear?

Comfort should be a baseline requirement when it comes to period underwear. That’s why our period briefs are made from soft, breathable fabrics like TENCEL™ Modal and LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™, designed to feel like your favorite everyday underwear. Our styles are meant to move with your body (never against it), offering no stiffness, no scratchy seams, and no bulk. Whether you’re out running errands or settling into bed with a heating pad, you’ll feel supported and secure.


Leakproof Protection You Can Trust

Worried about leaks? Saalt’s patented gusset technology delivers powerful protection with a barely-there feel. The multi-layer gusset pulls moisture away from your skin and locks it in, making it easy to forget you're even wearing period underwear. For those who need serious coverage, check out our period panties for heavy flow to stay dry on even your heaviest days and overnight.


Curious about how it all works? Our full breakdown on how period panties work covers the science behind leakproof technology and why it’s a game-changer for so many.


Versatility That Supports Every Life Stage

Life doesn’t pause between cycles, and neither should your underwear. Saalt briefs are designed to support more than just menstruation. They’re also a go-to solution for incontinence and everyday spotting. Unlike thick pads or sticky panty liners, Saalt’s soft-stretch fabrics and gusset technology provide breathable, flexible comfort with real absorbency power. That means you can trust them to handle more than just period blood. The result? Less bulk, more comfort, and peace of mind for life’s most sensitive moments.


Truly Inclusive Sizing

Everyone deserves access to comfort, security, and high-performing period care. That’s why Saalt offers plus size period underwear in a wide array of styles, with our size range going up to 4X in most cases. These aren’t just scaled-up versions of smaller sizes. They’re thoughtfully designed to fit and feel just as good on plus-sized bodies, with the same premium fabrics and leakproof performance across the board. No one should have to compromise on comfort because of their body type. And with Saalt, you don’t have to.


Save Your Wallet And The Planet

According to a study posted on the National Library of Medicine regarding the environmental impacts of period care, a person can expect to use about 10,000 disposable menstrual products in their lifetime. The same study states that most of these contain plastic, take centuries to decompose, and contribute significantly to landfill overflow and ocean pollution. With Saalt Wear, you can help dramatically reduce that impact. Each pair of reusable period briefs replaces hundreds of pads and tampons, cutting plastic waste before it ever leaves your bathroom.


Safe For Your Skin By Design

Unlike conventional disposables, Saalt’s non-toxic period products are made from clean, rigorously tested materials and are proudly not treated with PFAS. The Environmental Protection Agency warns that exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) may pose health risks, making it especially important to choose period care that’s safe for both your body and the environment.


Smarter For Your Budget. Kinder To The Planet.

Saalt wear isn’t just an upgrade in comfort and sustainability. It’s a long-term win for your wallet, too. Over a lifetime, disposable pads and tampons can cost thousands, not to mention the added stress of last-minute store runs and constant restocking. With reusable period underwear, that cycle ends. You get reliable, reusable protection that saves money, reduces waste, and keeps your routine refreshingly simple.


A Sustainable Shift That Lasts

By switching to reusable period briefs, you're joining a growing movement toward conscious self-care. You’re choosing fewer disposables, fewer toxins, and fewer unnecessary expenses. And with every wear, you’re helping build a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable future for everyone.


Period Briefs: Style Meets Function

There’s nothing like slipping into a pair of period briefs that feel like they’re barely there. Soft, breathable fabrics. Silhouettes that flatter and support. Smart stitching that doesn’t pinch or irritate. The best period briefs move with your body, so you can go about your day with one less thing to stress about. Whether you're heading to work, out for a walk, or winding down at home, these briefs offer support that feels effortless.


Designed For Real Life

Today’s period underwear doesn’t sacrifice comfort for performance. Saalt’s leakproof designs pair clean, modern style with high-tech layers that wick moisture, lock in leaks, and keep you feeling dry. That means no bulky padding, no crinkly textures, and no reason to hide them at the bottom of your drawer. Each pair is made to feel like your most-loved basics, but with elevated absorbency that adapts to your needs.

Easy Care For Saalt Period Briefs

Taking care of your period briefs shouldn’t add extra stress to your already full plate. The beauty of these leakproof wonders begins with their clean, high-quality materials, and it carries through to their surprisingly easy care routine.


  • Wash Before First Wear: We recommend washing your period briefs before the first use as a good hygiene practice.
  • Rinse After Use: After wearing, give your Saalt wear a quick rinse in cold water to help prevent staining.
  • Machine Wash On Cold: Toss your rinsed underwear into the laundry with like colors. Use cold water and a gentle cycle. For extra protection, machine wash your briefs in a delicates bag to reduce fabric friction and extend their life.
  • Avoid Harsh Additives: Skip fabric softeners, bleach, and harsh detergents. These can interfere with absorbency and degrade the fabric.
  • Air Dry For Longevity: Lay flat or hang to dry. Avoid the dryer, as high heat can damage elastic and the leakproof gusset.
  • Store Dry And Clean: Always ensure your Saalt Wear is fully dry before storing to maintain freshness and performance between cycles.


With just a few simple steps, you can count on consistent protection, cycle after cycle. So, you can focus more on what matters and less on laundry logistics.
