may/june 2018yogajournal.com.auPHOTOS: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXPractical, Ethical Periods
You’ve likely heard of the menstrual cup.
These period products pride themselves on
their reusability and lack of toxicity, and hence
friendliness towards the environment (both
inside and out). Yogis have been on the
bandwagon for a while, and aside from the
occasional feminine faux pas, they’ve received
rave reviews. After the menstrual cup,
re-useable pads and liners had their moment in
the spotlight, but we women soon grew tired
of filling our clotheslines with awkwardly
shaped materials that didn’t leave much to the
imagination. And so we were understandably
intrigued when whispers of period panties began
to surface. Yes, you read right. The latest craze in
feminine fashion is here to stay - seriously. The
subtle (and sometimes sexy) underwear is made
using special Modifier Technology, meaning you
stay dry, fresh and bulk free. It’s hard to believe
that these understated unmentionables can hold
up to 20ml/2 tampons whilst remaining dry and
cozy. Their comfort is credited to high quality
natural fibre blends. They can be popped in the
wash and onto the clothesline (and your
neighbours will be none the wiser). Check them

pair from $26.Women's Wellbeing
