Underwear & reusable pads

How do period underwear and reusable pads work?

Both use absorbent fabric layers with a leak-resistant layer underneath. Our reusable pad uses the same fabric technology as our period underwear, in a separate pad you wear with your own underwear. Wash, dry and use it again.

Which absorbency should I choose?

Everyday Liner: 10–15 mL for spotting, lighter days or backup. All-Day: 25–30 mL for daytime protection. All-Night: 45–50 mL for overnight or when you need more absorbency.

Start with your flow, then choose the fit you love. Our product quiz can help.

Our reusable pad is All-Day: 25–30 mL, equivalent to one pair of All-Day underwear.

How absorbent is the reusable pad, and when should I change it?

It holds 25–30 mL—the same All-Day absorbency as our underwear. It comes in one size and one colour. Change when it feels wet or reaches capacity; heavier flow needs more frequent changes. Absorbency doesn’t mean a fixed number of hours.

How does that compare with tampons or pads?

Everyday Liner holds approximately 2–3 tampons or about 1 maxi pad; All-Day 5–6 tampons or about 2–3 maxi pads; All-Night 9–10 tampons or about 4–5 maxi pads.

These are approximate capacity comparisons using 5 mL per tampon and 10 mL per maxi pad. Capacities vary between brands and products; these numbers don’t tell you how long to wear a pair.

How do I find my size and fit?

Measure your waist and hips, then use the size chart on your chosen product page—charts differ by style. Cheeky sits low on the hips, Classic Briefs are mid-rise, and High-Waist Briefs are high-rise.

The leg openings should sit close without digging in. Between sizes or unsure? Email contact@bpeachy.online with your measurements and preferred style.

Will they feel bulky?

Our gussets are designed to keep the bulk down. Classic Briefs 2.0 are approximately 1.9 mm thick at the gusset, original Classic Briefs approximately 2 mm, and Quick-Dry High-Waist Briefs approximately 3 mm. Check your chosen style for its specific details.

What’s included in a 3-pack?

Check the pack’s selected option for its exact styles, colours and absorbency levels. Packs can contain all All-Day, all All-Night, or two All-Day pairs plus one All-Night pair. Available combinations vary by listing.

Wearing underwear & pads

How long can I wear one pair?

Up to 12 hours, depending on your flow and the pair’s absorbency. Heavier flow means more frequent changes. Change sooner if the gusset feels wet or has reached capacity; get to know your flow by checking more often on your first few wears.

Can I sleep in them?

Yes. All-Night offers our highest absorbency—45–50 mL—for overnight protection. Put on a fresh pair before bed and choose a snug, comfortable fit. On heavier nights, you may need to change sooner or use them as backup.

Do I still need a pad, tampon or cup?

You can wear period underwear on its own when the absorbency suits your flow, or as backup with a tampon or cup. If you’re new to it, try a pair at home first to learn what works for you.

Can I wear ordinary period underwear for swimming?

Choose our period swimwear for the water. Everyday period underwear is designed for wear out of the water; it isn’t a substitute for swimwear.

Underwear & pad care

How do I wash my underwear or reusable pad?

Rinse in cold water after use, then hand or machine wash in cold water. Skip hot water, bleach and fabric softener. Line dry or tumble dry on low heat, and let the pair dry completely before wearing it again.

Can I put them in the dryer?

Yes, on low heat. Line drying works too. Avoid high heat to help care for the fabric and gusset.

What should I do with used underwear or a pad while I’m out?

Bring a spare and a washable wet bag. Change when needed, store the used underwear or pad in the bag, and rinse and wash it when you get home.

Menstrual cup

How is a cup different from underwear or a pad?

A cup is worn inside the vagina and collects period fluid instead of absorbing it. It opens to form a seal. Underwear or a reusable pad can provide backup while you get used to it.

Which cup size should I choose?

Peachy Cup comes in Small, Medium and Large. Cup fit depends on your anatomy and comfort, not your underwear size. If you’re unsure, contact us before choosing.

How do I remove my cup?

Wash your hands, relax, then pinch the cup’s base to release the seal before gently easing it out. Don’t pull on the ring alone. If removal hurts or you can’t remove it, stop pulling and seek medical help.

How often should I empty it?

Wear your Peachy Cup for no more than 8 hours at a time. Remove, empty and clean it sooner on heavier days, even if it isn’t full. Don’t leave it in continuously beyond this limit; choose underwear or a pad when you want a break from internal protection.

How do I clean and store my cup?

Rinse after emptying, wash with water and mild, fragrance-free soap, and rinse thoroughly. Keep the rim’s air holes clear. Follow the cup’s instructions for sanitising before first use and between periods. Let it dry fully and store in a breathable pouch.

How do I empty my cup in a public bathroom?

Empty before heading out, then plan a bathroom break before 8 hours—or sooner if your flow fills it faster. While learning your flow, check more often rather than waiting for a leak.

Wash your hands before entering the stall. Remove and empty your cup into the toilet. If there’s no private sink, rinse with clean drinking water from a small bottle, then reinsert. Wash it thoroughly with mild, fragrance-free soap and water at the next opportunity. Never use toilet-bowl water or surface disinfectant.

Menstrual disc

How is a disc different from a cup?

Both collect fluid internally. A disc sits higher, beneath the cervix, with its front rim tucked behind the pubic bone. A cup sits in the vaginal canal and forms a seal. The fit and removal technique feel different.

Which disc size and colour do you offer?

Our disc comes in Small, Light Pink, with a 45 mL collection capacity. It is 30 mm high; the supplier’s 120 mm overall measurement includes the retrieval stem, not just the disc. This is a specific size, not a universal fit.

How much does the disc hold?

The Small disc has a 45 mL collection capacity. It collects fluid rather than absorbing it, so it doesn’t use the underwear’s All-Day or All-Night labels. Wear for up to 12 hours and empty sooner on heavier days.

What is the disc made from?

Silicone, with a flexible body that folds for insertion and an integrated retrieval stem to help you locate it for removal.

Can I use underwear or a pad as backup?

Yes. Period underwear or our reusable pad can add backup while you learn the fit and placement of your disc.

How long can I wear my disc?

Wear for up to 12 hours, then remove, empty and clean it before reinserting. Empty sooner on heavier days, and check more frequently while getting to know your flow. The 45 mL capacity isn’t a guarantee of 12 hours between changes.

Cups and discs are not contraception and do not protect against sexually transmitted infections.

Can the disc empty itself on the toilet?

Some people find their disc partially empties into the toilet when they relax or gently bear down—a handy feature called auto-emptying. It doesn’t happen for everyone, so don’t force it.

With clean hands, check that the front rim is tucked back behind your pubic bone afterwards. Auto-emptying doesn’t reset the 12-hour wear limit: still remove and wash your disc within that time. Leaking outside the bathroom calls for a fit or position check.

How do I empty my disc in a public bathroom?

Empty before heading out, then plan a bathroom break before 12 hours—or sooner if your flow fills it faster. While learning your flow, check more often rather than waiting for a leak.

Wash your hands before entering the stall. Remove and empty your disc into the toilet. If there’s no private sink, rinse with clean drinking water from a small bottle, then reinsert. Wash it thoroughly with mild, fragrance-free soap and water at the next opportunity. Never use toilet-bowl water or surface disinfectant.

Can I have sex with a disc in?

A disc sits higher than a cup, leaving the vaginal canal free for penetrative sex during your period. Empty it beforehand, and remove and wash it afterwards. Comfort varies; stop and remove it if either partner feels discomfort. Some spotting is still possible.

Remove a menstrual cup before vaginal penetration. Neither a cup nor a disc prevents pregnancy or protects against sexually transmitted infections.

How do I clean my disc?

Wash your hands before handling the disc. After emptying, wash it with warm water and mild, fragrance-free, pH-neutral soap, then rinse thoroughly.

Before first use and between periods, boil the disc in water for 4–5 minutes. Keep it submerged and away from the bottom of the pan. Let it cool before use; dry fully before storing in a breathable pouch.

The cold-wash instructions for underwear and pads don’t apply to the disc.

Period swimwear

Can I swim in my regular period underwear instead?

Use period swimwear for the water. Our ordinary period underwear and reusable pad are designed for use out of the water.

Which colours and sizes are available?

Our period swimwear comes in Black, in sizes S–XXL. Check the swimwear fit guidance rather than assuming your underwear size will be the same.

Does the underwear absorbency guide apply to swimwear?

No. Our swimwear has its own 10 mL light-absorbency rating. Everyday Liner, All-Day and All-Night describe our underwear range; the reusable pad is All-Day. For heavier flow, use a cup or disc as your main protection with swimwear as backup.

See the swimwear guide and US size chart.

Does my period stop underwater?

Your period doesn’t stop underwater. Flow may be less noticeable while you’re submerged, then more noticeable when you step out. Choose protection for both your swim and your time poolside.

Our swimwear offers 10 mL light absorbency. On heavier days, pair it with a cup or disc.

Materials & testing

What are the underwear fabrics?

Fabrics vary by style and colour. Teal SoftTouch High-Waist Briefs use an outer fabric blend of 85% modal, 8% elastane and 7% seaweed fibre; black Quick-Dry High-Waist Briefs use 100% polyester outer fabric. The absorbent gusset has its own layered construction.

Check the material details on the product page for the pair you’re choosing.

What PFAS screening have you done on the underwear textiles?

No intentionally added PFAS. Three textiles screened by SGS showed no detectable total organic fluorine at a detection limit of 20 ppm.

This was a total organic fluorine screen, rather than a targeted test for individual PFAS. See the testing summary on our About page for the samples and report details.

These textile results do not cover the cup or disc.
