How do period panties work?
How do period panties work?
Our period panties absorb your flow, and keep you fresh, dry, and protected whenever you're wearing them.
•ANTI-ODOR & ANTI-HUMIDITY: The first two layers banish odors and wick away moisture from your skin to keep you fresh and dry all day (and night).
•SUPER ABSORBENT: The inner layer absorbs liquid and locks it in. Depending on the absorbency level you choose, they can absorb up to five regular tampons' worth of liquid.
•LEAKPROOF: The leak resistant outer layer helps protect you from unwanted leaks, keeping your clothes and sheets as spotless as can be.
Are period panties washable?
Are period panties washable?
Yep! Our period panties are machine-washable & reusable so you can wear them again and again.
Simply rinse them in the sink, either hand wash or throw them in the washing machine (on a gentle cycle with cold water), and hang 'em up or lay flat to dry. Just steer clear of fabric softener and bleach!
How do I know which absorbency level to purchase?

Joyja period panties comes in four absorbency levels: light absorbency, moderate, heavy to super absorbency. Choose a higher absorbency if your flow is heavy or if you want to free bleed wearing Joyja period panties alone. If you have a lighter flow, or just want a backup to wear with a cup or tampon, our lighter absorbency might be just what you're looking for. Here’s a quick rundown:
SUPER ABSORBENCY
Equivalent to: 36ml = 5 regular tampons' worthWhen to use: For those extra heavy days—or just whenever you need all the absorbency power you can get.
HEAVY ABSORBENCY
Equivalent to: 20ml = 4 regular tampons' worth
When to use: Alone on your moderate & heavy days, or as worry-free backup to a cup, tampon or a pad on your heavy days
MODERATE ABSORBENCY
Equivalent to: 15ml = 3 regular tampons' worth
When to use:Alone on your light or moderate period days, or as backup on your moderate days.
LIGHT ABSORBENCY
Equivalent to: 5ml = 2 regular tampons' worth
When to use: Alone on light period days, as backup to other products, or for sneaky leaks & discharge.

The absorbent panel on most of our panties is located primarily within the crotch area, typically one to three inches from the waistband of the underwear depending on the style.
Each panty has a single layer of protection from the absorbent panel towards the top of the waistband on either side. If you look closely at the product pictures, you will see the line of demarcation of the absorbent panel and extra single lining of the underwear.
(Psst—we recommend our Emily Shortie specifically for sleeping!)

It's up to you!
Our light and moderate-absorbency styles are great for using as "backup," or alone on your lighter days. Our heavy and super-absorbency styles are absorbent enough to be worn alone on your heaviest days, but if your flow is extra-heavy, they work great as an ultra-reliable backup, too, if that makes you feel more comfy and secure.
