Everything you need to know about Pompea menstrual panties: practicality, benefits and tips for use
Menstruation is a natural part of every woman's life, but it often brings with it discomforts and taboos that affect daily well-being. In recent years, the focus on more sustainable and comfortable solutions has led to the development of innovative alternatives to traditional disposable pads. Among these, menstrual panties stand out for their ability to combine practicality, comfort and respect for the environment . Pompea, always attentive to women's needs, has introduced a line of period briefs designed to offer effective protection and comfort throughout the menstrual period.
But how exactly do these slips work and what advantages do they offer over traditional methods?

How do Pompea menstrual panties work?
Pompea menstrual panties are designed to absorb and retain menstrual flow thanks to an innovative design and high-quality materials. They look like normal women's panties , but offer a higher level of protection. The heart of these panties is the patented ultra-absorbent gusset , characterized by a special honeycomb texture with small raised barriers . This structure allows fluids to be directed towards the absorbent layer underneath, keeping the surface in contact with the skin dry and clean throughout the day. Thanks to this technology, Pompea period panties are also suitable for medium/heavy flows , offering long-lasting protection and safety.
The gusset is made with bacteriostatic and anti-odor materials , which help prevent infections and naturally neutralize unpleasant odors. Protection is guaranteed by multiple layers : an absorbent layer that retains liquids and a waterproof barrier that prevents leaks, offering safety and peace of mind even in the case of heavy flow. The seamless technology , without seams, gives the briefs superior elasticity and a perfect fit to the body , ensuring maximum freedom of movement and comfort in every situation.
How many pairs of period panties do you need and how long can you wear them?
The number of menstrual panties you need varies based on the intensity of your flow and the frequency of washing . In general, it is recommended to have at least 6 pairs to cover the entire menstrual cycle, ensuring you always have a clean spare available. This number takes into account washing and drying times, ensuring you rotate your panties adequately.
In addition, Pompea period briefs are designed to offer protection for up to 12 hours, depending on the intensity of the flow . However, especially during the first uses, it is advisable to test them in a familiar environment to evaluate your comfort and safety, identifying the time of use that best suits your needs. The gray gusset makes it easy to monitor absorbency over the hours.
These briefs can be used in different phases of the cycle : in the days before as prevention, during the menstrual period and in the last days to manage lighter losses. They are suitable for any type of flow , from light to heavy, ensuring protection and comfort in every situation.
Thanks to their slim design and seamless technology, they are also ideal for night-time wear and for sports activities , excluding swimming.
Tips for washing menstrual panties
To maintain the effectiveness and durability of Pompea menstrual panties, it is essential to follow some simple cleaning instructions:
After use, rinse the underwear with cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove most of the flow and prevents staining.
The briefs can be washed by hand or in the washing machine at a maximum temperature of 30°C. For hand washing, it is advisable to soak them in cold water with a mild detergent, rub them gently and rinse them thoroughly. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach , as they can compromise the absorbent and antibacterial properties of the fabric.
Leave the underwear to air dry, avoiding direct exposure to the sun or intense heat sources such as radiators or dryers, which could damage the fibers and reduce the elasticity of the fabric. It is not advisable to dry them in the dryer to avoid deterioration of the absorbent fibers and the structure of the fabric.
