Saalt Teen

Period panties for girls are a reusable, worry-free alternative to disposable pads and liners. They are designed to offer leakproof protection in a way that’s simple, comfortable, and teen-approved. These garments are built with absorbent layers that trap period flow, keeping you dry and secure whether you’re at school, soccer practice, or a sleepover.

How Period Panties Absorb And Protect

At Saalt, our teen period underwear is made with soft-stretch, lightweight materials and patented gusset technology that’s ultra-thin, moisture-wicking, and leakproof. Saalt Wear gives you leakproof coverage that fits like your favorite pair of underwear with none of the stress. The gusset layers pull in moisture, hold it in place, and protect against leaks, all without any bulky padding.

Reusable, Reliable, And Designed To Blend In

Unlike single-use pads or tampons, our period underwear for teens is washable and reusable. That means less waste, less stress, and fewer surprise runs to the bathroom. Plus, we’ve created a lineup of styles that feel and look like everyday underwear—no awkward swaps or uncomfortable changes in the locker room required.

Freedom To Move, Confidence To Be You

Whether you’re a teen managing your monthly flow or a parent shopping for tween period underwear, Saalt offers a range of sizes and absorbency levels to meet every need. At the end of the day, your period shouldn’t hold you back. With period underwear teens can trust, you can live your life without second-guessing your protection. Whether it’s your first period or your twentieth, period underwear that you can count on should feel like second nature: easy to wear, easy to trust, and made to move with you.

Learning about sustainable options is more than helpful for teens and tweens beginning their period journey. Traditional disposable pads and tampons may seem convenient, but they contribute to long-term waste. Over time, single-use period products pile up in landfills, leaving a lasting environmental footprint.

Period Panties: A Reusable Alternative

Enter period panties for teens—a comfortable, reusable solution that supports both your body and the planet. Unlike disposables that get tossed throughout the day, period underwear can withstand repeated wear. Our teen collection is designed for real-life use, wash after wash, without compromising on protection, softness, or style.

Just like with any period product, it’s important to change and clean your underwear regularly to maintain good hygiene. For more on menstrual hygiene basics, the CDC offers helpful guidance on safe practices during your period. 

Comfort That Respects Your Body And The Earth

Sustainability isn’t just about the environment; it’s about what you put on your body, too. We do not use any PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) in our fabrics or finishes. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, current scientific research suggests that PFAS can contribute to negative health concerns like developmental delays in children, hormonal imbalances, and a reduced ability to fight infections. To avoid this, we test our products regularly, and craft our products from soft-stretch, breathable fabrics that continue to feel as good as the first day you slipped them on. No irritation, no waste, and no compromise on comfort.

Making A Difference, Cycle By Cycle

When you choose reusable period care, every cycle becomes a chance to reduce waste and support mindful living. It’s not just a better choice for your daily life; it’s a step toward a more responsible future for everyone. Because doing good should feel good, too.

Pads and tampons are often the first go-to for period care—simple, disposable, and familiar. But they come with a bunch of challenges. They need to be changed every few hours, they can shift around or feel bulky, and they create waste with each cycle. There’s also the constant worry: “Did I pack enough for the school day? What if I leak between classes?” Finally, there’s the cost: replacing boxes of single-use products month after month adds up.

Why Reusable Period Products Are Changing The Game

Saalt offers a smarter option with products that take the stress out of period planning. These aren’t just alternatives; they’re upgrades.

• Leak Proof Teen Brief: This full-coverage style looks and feels like everyday underwear, but its ultra-thin gusset replaces multiple regular tampons. Made with lightweight nylon and spandex, this fabric won’t hold you back. It’s easy to toss a clean pair into your backpack to be ready whenever your period shows up.
• Leak Proof Teen Sport Short: These shorts will have your back through every sprint, stretch, or gym day. The 3” seam provides the right coverage, while the front-to-back super absorbent gusset guarantees protection from leaks. For those who struggle with biker shorts riding up, there’s a hidden silicone print inside the leg to keep them anchored. Wear it under uniforms, dresses, or even on its own for next-level protection.
• Saalt Teen Cup: Designed specifically for smaller bodies, this menstrual cup offers up to 12 hours of internal protection. That’s an entire school day (plus practice) without worrying about leaks or emergency bathroom visits.
• First Period Starter Pack: Looking for something that bundles it all together? Look no further than this bundle. It includes four pairs of leakproof underwear, a Teen Cup, and cleansing products, so teens are fully prepared from the start.

Ready For Anything

Each pair of Saalt underwear is washable and reusable, designed to last through countless cycles. That means fewer trips to the store, less waste, and more freedom to focus on your day. It’s a small shift that creates long-term impact on your budget, on the planet, and on your peace of mind.

Not Sure What’s Right for You? You Have Options!

Period panties are just one way to manage your period with confidence. Many teens also explore internal reusable options like a period disc, made from medical-grade silicone and designed for up to 12 hours of protection. Curious about how they work? Check out our guide on how to insert a menstrual disc for step-by-step guidance.

First periods already come with a lot of stress. Choosing the right period care shouldn’t add to it. Start with what your child already knows. Saalt’s teen collection includes youth-specific sizing and flexible styles designed to move with the body and offer full coverage where it counts.

Think about when they’ll wear them. Do they need a seamless feel under shorts at soccer practice? Or full coverage for overnight peace of mind? A well-fitting pair means they can go about their day with zero distractions.

Match Absorbency To Their Flow

Not all period underwear is created equal. Saalt makes it easy to find the right absorbency level, whether your teen is just spotting or needs extra protection during class or sleep. For example, the Leak Proof Teen Brief replaces up to 4 tampons for heavy days. The Leak Proof Teen Sport Short steps it up further with super absorbency, holding the equivalent of 6+ pads. If needed, it’s easy to pair these with a backup method like the Teen Cup for full-cycle confidence.

Look For Skin-Friendly Fabrics

Comfort isn’t just about fit; it’s about feel. Saalt uses soft-stretch, moisture-wicking underwear that is breathable, not treated with PFAS, and gentle on the skin. No plasticky textures or stiff seams—just a light, barely-there feel that works hard all day long.

Designs Teens Actually Want To Wear

Period undies shouldn’t feel like baggy granny panties from the adult aisle. Saalt’s teen line is designed with growing bodies in mind, meaning every detail is made to reflect their style, not just their size. When the fit feels right and the style reflects who they are, period care becomes one less thing to dread—and one more thing they can feel good about.

Getting your first period comes with a lot of questions, and we know it can be scary or embarrassing to ask for help. Sometimes, you might have questions that seem like no one can answer. Or you might be a parent who’s not quite sure how to explain periods, let alone help your child choose the right product. If that’s the case, Saalt is here for you. Here are some simple, supportive ways to help new users feel confident about this reusable switch:

• Normalize The Conversation: Let them know that period care is a regular part of growing up. Whether you're a parent, sibling, or teacher, talking openly helps make new products like period panties feel less overwhelming and more empowering.
• Focus On Comfort And Fit: Saalt’s teen styles are made to feel like everyday underwear. Start by exploring what style matches their routine and feels good to wear.
• Ease Into Use: Trying something new can feel a little intimidating at first. You can suggest a trial run at home or overnight to help your teen build comfort and confidence before they wear them outside. For additional peace of mind, some teens prefer pairing their period underwear with another product like a pad until they’re ready to go solo.
• Emphasize No-Stress Maintenance: Period panties are easy to care for. After wearing, rinse in cold water, then machine wash cold (preferably in a delicates bag) and hang dry. Teaching the routine helps teens feel more in control and less reliant on disposables.
• Highlight The Eco-Friendly Impact: Many teens care about sustainability. Share how switching to reusable period products reduces waste and supports a cleaner future.
• Reassure About Leak Protection: One of the biggest first-time concerns is: Will it leak? Saalt’s period underwear is designed with built-in, multi-layer gussets that offer powerful absorbency (up to 6+ pads in some styles) without bulk.
• Encourage Questions: Whether you’re a parent sharing your own story or a teen talking to a trusted adult, keeping the door open for questions builds comfort. Every experience shared makes the next one feel a little easier.

When you find something that makes your period feel a little more manageable and a lot more comfortable, you want it to last. With just a few simple steps, caring for your period panties is easy and helps preserve their comfort and performance over time.

• Rinse After Use: After wearing, gently rinse your period underwear in cold water to help prevent stains and release absorbed fluid. Hold under running water until it runs mostly clear—no scrubbing needed.
• Wash With Mild Detergent: Hand wash or machine wash cold (ideally in a delicates bag). Use a gentle detergent that’s free of fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh chemicals. These can damage the absorbent layers and reduce the effectiveness of your Saalt Wear.
• Hang To Dry: Air dry only. Heat from the dryer can break down elastics and the moisture-wicking gusset layers over time. For best results, hang or lay flat to dry in a well-ventilated area.
• Store Like Everyday Underwear: Once dry, simply store your period panties in a clean drawer. No special products or containers required—just clean, breathable storage that keeps them ready for your next cycle.

A little care goes a long way. With these simple steps, your Saalt Wear will stay comfortable, effective, and cycle-ready—so you can spend less time worrying and more time doing what matters.
