"If there is a piece of clothing that women should choose carefully, it is the period panty that they wear during their menstruation. The panty is in direct contact with the intimate area, so the right choice is not just a matter of aesthetics and comfort. However, most of us often only pay attention to these two criteria."
The use of period underwear during menstruation is significantly better for health than other hygiene products, especially some washable pads, which are often more aggressive or contain chemicals such as women's pads and tampons. Additionally, by purchasing a period underwear, which generates zero waste compared to conventional hygiene products, you contribute to environmental protection, as this underwear is much less environmentally harmful than other menstrual protection products. Such reusable hygiene products are clearly preferable to women's pads or tampons.
Why switch to an ecologically sustainable slip?
Switching to reusable hygiene products is not necessarily easy. Nevertheless, the zero-waste period panty is a must-have in your wardrobe. There are many reasons for this, which we want to describe to you here.
The zero-waste slip is better for your health.
All materials for the production of our zero-waste underwear have been carefully selected. Therefore, all our fabrics are Oeko-Tex certified. The materials used not only feel very soft but also prevent skin irritations. This super-absorbent cotton underwear, made without pesticides or harmful chemical treatments, reduces the risk of allergic reactions and also protects you from toxic shocks. The selected fabrics are breathable, ensuring impeccable intimate hygiene. The result: maceration in skin folds is completely prevented. Even better, the formation of moisture and unpleasant odors is now a thing of the past. The zero-waste brief not only protects your health but also provides maximum comfort and well-being while being extremely absorbent.
The zero-waste underwear is good for the environment.
The zero-waste panty has the advantage of being reusable, thus significantly reducing the ecological impact of menstruation. This issue affects all women, so it is right to make a small contribution to environmental protection, which also prevents us from being exposed to harmful chemicals. It is therefore in the interest of women to use washable period panties instead of conventional tampons or sanitary pads during menstruation.
The zero-waste panty: an ideal solution to save money
Let's be honest, buying zero-waste underwear is already a (small) investment. But there are good reasons why a period panty costs around thirty euros - and this investment pays off quickly. This comfortable underwear has the advantage of being very durable. Even better: you no longer need to spend a small fortune on women's pads or tampons for your menstrual cycle. The average spending of a woman on hygiene products is between 5 and 8 euros per month. In comparison, the lifespan of a period panty is 7 to 8 years and its price is around 30 €. The math is quickly done!
The period panties are absorbent and washable. You can even wear them for up to 12 hours a day without them leaking or feeling uncomfortable. This means you no longer have to buy hygiene products for your monthly cycle. Take your calculator and do the math! The initial purchase may seem more expensive at first glance, but in the long run, you are the winner. And if you're now wondering how to wash the period panties, you should know that cleaning them is as easy as washing your regular underwear!
A contribution to environmental protection
Most disposable hygiene products are produced in large quantities, and their composition is not environmentally friendly. To produce in large volumes, the industry and manufacturers of disposable menstrual hygiene products prefer to use cheap materials. By purchasing an eco-friendly period panty brand, you make an important contribution to environmental protection. At the same time, you optimize your personal comfort and the safety of your menstrual hygiene.
The Zero-Waste Slip: No more throwing money out the window
The purchase of disposable hygiene products can be described with the saying ""to throw one's money out of the window" perfectly describe. And this for good reason, because you cannot reuse your pads or tampons once you have used them. So it is an expense that cannot be profitable. This is different with the zero-waste panties. As the term "Zero Waste" already suggests, this underwear is washable and can be reused multiple times. This means you do not have to buy new panties every month. A set of our eco-friendly panties is completely sufficient. And to optimally meet your needs and expectations, the Zero-Waste period panties from Sisters Republic are available in different absorbency levels: for light, medium, or heavy menstrual flow. Contrary to popular belief, the fact that they are reusable panties does not mean you can't look sexy in them. On the contrary, there is something for every taste: from super sexy to extremely comfortable.
The negative environmental balance of single-use items
Every month, many women around the world use a huge amount of pads and tampons. But are they really safe? Aside from allergies, irritations, costs, and discomfort, the use of disposable pads is also not very good for the environment. In fact, 100 billion disposable pads are disposed of on Earth every year. On average, a woman throws away between 100 and 150 kg of pads, tampons, and applicators over the course of her life. Sounds like a lot? Then remember that these 150 kg need to be multiplied by the number of women on Earth. In the end, this results in a total amount of more than 30,000 kg of waste. During your fertile years, the waste from your menstrual cycles makes up 0.5% of the weight of your personal trash. You can imagine what weight that number has.
