They are briefs with built-in sanitary protection.
The lining, made of merino wool, elastane and polyester, is very soft and very breathable, leaving a “dry” feeling when directing the blood.
The fabric of the second layer inside can be bamboo, known for its ultra-absorbent, anti-odor and anti-bacterial properties. This part of the period briefs enables blood to be kept on the inside.
The third type of polyester and nylon fabric is waterproof and breathable. It is this waterproof membrane that holds the blood and therefore prevents leaks.
Practical, ecological, economical.

Worldwide, up to 500 million people live in period poverty.
The main consequence of period poverty is the exclusion of people who menstruate, including dropping out of school.
70% of people living on less than $1 a day are women.
One in ten women could not access these products worldwide.
Period poverty also affects Western countries
In western countries, homeless women, vulnerable people and students are particularly affected because of the budget needed to purchase these protections.
