Yes, however, everyone is different. Everyone has a different flow, and everyone has different needs and preferences. If you have a full day ahead, and it is the first couple of days on your period when your flow is heavier, there are several options;

• You can take a spare pair of So Sassy Period Panties with you to school or work and change the panties in the middle of the day keeping the used ones folded up and put into the So Sassy Period Panty zip lock packaging till you get home.
• You could also use a thin pad and halfway through your day throw away the pad and continue in just the panties for the rest of the day.
• If you are happy wearing menstrual cups or tampons, but worried that you may not be able to get to the bathroom when you need to and you are stressing you may leak, you can wear So Sassy Period Panties as a backup, so that if you do leak, it will not go onto your clothes.
• If your period is lighter or it is the last couple of days on your period, you can wear just the So Sassy Period Panties the entire day. Each young girl or woman, after trying out So Sassy Period Panties, will make their own choice on what to do each day of their period. This is a personal choice based on lifestyle and flow. After one or two periods you will have decided what is your best option for peace of mind, comfort and confidence.

No. The best part about So Sassy Period Panties is that if you are just starting your period as a young girl, you are not very regular for the first few years, so wearing So Sassy Period Panties to school for “just in case” you get your period is a great idea, because they look and feel like normal panties. There is no need to waste pads or money on pads because you may or may not get your period that day. Wearing So Sassy Period Panties, a couple days before you are due to get your period will give you peace of mind.

NO! So Sassy Period Panties are NOT for swimming. The absorbent materials will absorb too much water and when you get out of the pool the water will run out. So Sassy Period Panties are designed to absorb a period flow, not water in a pool or bath. The chlorine is also damaging to the absorbent materials and the panties will not last.

We are in the process of designing period swimwear… Coming soon!

Everyone! I am surprised that these have not been around for decades. We have had the same menstrual products for years, and let’s be honest, they are not great options. So Sassy Period Panties are for anyone who has a period. They are great for young girls just starting their period, as they are safe and comfortable. Because young girls are new to all this, they could accidentally leave a tampon in, which is extremely unsafe. Or they could not understand their flow yet and use the incorrect pad or tampon size. Wearing So Sassy Period Panties is perfect for young girls, especially if they are not sure which day their period will start. They can just keep a pair in their school bag or at a friend’s house or sleepover just in case. If they are supposed to get their period on a Wednesday and they are not regular yet, then they could wear their period panties on Monday and Tuesday for just in case. They just give you that extra protection, peace of mind and confidence you need and deserve.

For years I have struggled with confidence every time I got my period. We all need to discuss periods openly with both girls and boys. This is completely natural and not something any of us should be embarrassed or shy about. I really think by now so many more options should be available for women to use. For years we have been limited to pads and tampons. Draining our wallets as well as filling up the landfills, but we have never had another option, until now. The worst is when your period starts, and you open your bathroom cupboard to find that you are completely out of all menstrual products! Now what? It’s late at night, the stores are closed, what are you supposed to do? So, you make a small roll of toilet paper and put it inside your panties. Great! That lasts like 20 minutes. Buying So Sassy Period Panties means that I always have something to use when I get my period, no matter where I am! I can take them on holiday knowing I won’t have to look for a store in a strange place I don’t know trying to find the right menstrual products or sending your embarrassed boyfriend or husband to the store for you. Keeping So Sassy Period Panties means I am always covered day and night. It gives me peace of mind that I am always prepared, and confident every month.
