Making the switch from pads or tampons to period panties can feel like a big step — but trust us, it’s one of the easiest (and most comfortable!) upgrades you can make for your period routine.
Whether you're tired of rashes from pads, looking for a zero-waste option, or just curious about trying something new, this beginner’s guide walks you through everything you need to know about how to use period panties, along with expert-approved menstrual health tips.
What Are Period Panties?
Period panties are specially designed underwear that can absorb menstrual flow — just like a pad, but built right into the fabric.
Unlike regular underwear, they have:
- Absorbent layers to trap fluid
- Leakproof linings to prevent staining
- Breathable materials for maximum comfort
And the best part? You can wash and reuse them for up to 2–3 years!

Why Switch to Period Panties?
Switching to reusable period products isn’t just a trend — it’s a conscious choice for:
➡️ The environment (no more single-use pads in landfills)
➡️ Your wallet (save thousands over time)
➡️ Your comfort (no rashes or sticky adhesives)
Step-by-Step: How to Use Period Panties (Beginner's Guide)
Step 1: Know Your Flow
Start by tracking your menstrual flow for a couple of cycles:
- If you bleed lightly or moderately, 1–2 pairs/day might be enough.
- For heavy flow, choose high-absorbency styles or use with a menstrual cup as backup.

Step 2: Pick the Right Style
Just like regular underwear, period panties come in briefs, hipsters, and high-waist styles. Go for what feels most comfortable — especially for long days or overnight use.
🔄 Pro tip: Keep at least 3–5 pairs so you can rotate while others are drying.
Step 3: Wear Them Like Normal Underwear
No complicated process — just wear them like your regular panties!
Depending on your flow, a single pair can last 6–12 hours comfortably.
For extra heavy days, pair them with a menstrual cup or reusable pad from Revaa for added protection.
Step 4: Change & Rinse
Once they feel full (or at the end of the day), simply:
- Rinse them under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Hand-wash with mild detergent or put in a delicate wash bag in the machine.
- Air dry (no dryers or direct irons).
Step 5: Repeat & Reuse
Once dry, your period panty is good to go again!
With proper care, Revaa’s period underwear lasts up to 100 washes — making them one of the most durable, sustainable options in your menstrual hygiene routine.
