Are period panties safe?

Yes. Quality period underwear is made from soft, breathable, body-safe fabric and is designed to sit safely against your skin all day. Look for PFAS-free products — that means they're free of the 'forever chemicals' that some early products were criticised for — which is a key sign of a trustworthy brand.

As with any underwear, keep it clean by rinsing and washing after each wear, and change it regularly during heavy days. If you have specific skin or health concerns, choose breathable, fragrance-free options and speak to a doctor if anything feels wrong.
