This is why many brands are developing models for teenagers , as we will find models suitable for sportswomen or to mothers leaving maternity hospital .

Brands can differentiate themselves on these 5 main axes:

• Absorption capacity :
  For the beginning of the cycle up to very heavy flow, brands specializing in period panties offer their models according to menstrual flow : light, medium, heavy and very heavy . Others will offer only one or two models generally suited to medium flows.

• Sizes:

• Materials:
• Many underwear are made of organic cotton , of hemp , or bamboo . But we will also find polyester and viscose for softer panties. As well as the lace visible or discreet depending on the model.

• The style:

• Availability:
  If you order French menstrual panties, delivery will often be free and you will receive them within a few days. On the other hand, if you opt for Australian ones, you will have to count shipping costs and delivery time in weeks.
