About Period Pants
Pants, knickers, panties, underwear, bloomers, briefs all names for the same thing, just a different name.
Period pants are innovative new products that are revolutionising the way women support themselves during their periods.
Its as simple as wearing regular pants but with the added benefit of 8 hours of absorption of period flow.
To really answer this question, you need to get a sense of how much blood you loose when during your period.
On average:
On lighter days of your period: You lose just under 2 shot glasses or under 50 ml of blood each day of your period.
On heavier days of your period: You lose 2-4 shot glasses or 50-100 ml of blood each day of your period.
LUXStore Period pants are designed to absorb 2- 4 super tampons worth of period flow.
The short version is: yes you can wear just a pair of pants – no pads, no tampons and enjoy 8 hours of protection/ absorption even on your heaviest days.
The magic is in the materials we use. Organic cotton is capable of absorbing upto 125% of its weight in liquid, plus we have a special absorption layer in the middle that does the bulk of the heavy lifting.
That’s a zero leaks guarantee.
No you won’t, promise. Again the fabrics and absorption layer mean that despite absorbing all your period blood, it will leave you feeling dry and hygienic.
At this stage yes, a smidge. Two arguments to make:
1. £19/ $24 = 2 Avocados on toast or 3 giant cones of icecream or one months’ phone subscription or 4 cups of coffee. What’s your health worth to you?
2. With some decent care, LUX period pants will last you 2 years. You save roughly $240 or £200 worth of period products in that time, if I assume you spend $10/£8 on period products monthly.
With that saving its almost criminal not to buy these. Think of all the Avo’s on toast you could have.
Care Instructions
Easy peasy, once you have used your LUX pants, wash them in a small bucket of water, so you can rinse off the period blood.
I know, I’m afraid of blood too, but think of it this way. This blood was something your womb created to nourish and give life to a human, this blood makes you a superwoman.
Not the nicest feeling, but it’s a necessary step, to ensure your pants remain clean.
Wash them in water and place them in the washing machine as part of a regular wash cycle. Two things to remember, don’t bleach and don’t tumble dry. If you feel uncomfortable washing them with other clothing, then run them on their own cycle.
Using a bit of white wine vinegar/ clove oil in this cycle will leave your undies disinfected and smelling really fresh too.
Next air dry them- on a clothes line, in front of the radiator, whatever suits you.
Not the end of the world. Tumble drying your pants once, won’t upset the lining much. But please try not to.

Absolutely not. LUX pants will offer her the convenience of 8- 10 hours of support, which minimises the inconvenience of changing during school hours. So, if she wears these pants to school, she will not need to change them until she returns home from school. She will definitely not lugging around wet underwear.

Contrast this to period products that are made from 95% plastic – Always, Kotex and other mainstream period products fall under this bucket, which have the ability to disturb your hormonal balance and impact you adversely.
Climate impact to one side, nylon for example is a synthetic fabric that is a by-product of petroleum drilling; tudies show that prolonged use of nylon products considerably reduce libido in women.
They could impact a koala’s habitat, take away a soil’s ph, turn it barren, affect the micro-climate and cause climate change.
When pants are made from Tencel or Lyocell, you will find biological credentials notwithstanding, it takes logging of gum trees (a koala habitat), bleaching them and then spinning fabric from that gum. Bit much to have on one’s conscience.
Here’s what else your period pants can do, they can strip someone of a daily wage and make them work for a poor wage. Chinese made products for instance come with zero assurance that the people making them are being paid a fair wage. How else do you think they manage to sell products so cheap? Somebody somewhere is paying a price.
