how often do you change period underwear?
You're hunched over your cluttered desk.
Surrounded by flickering fluorescent lights, endless deadlines, and a graveyard of empty coffee cups.
It's another typical workday.
Someone calls your name, but it's hard to hear over the busy office.
Suddenly…
A gush from your period. Panic sets in.
Will your pad handle this unexpected flow?
Stains are the last thing you need to worry about right now.
And… you're tempted to sneak to the loo for a quick check.
In response, your heart starts racing. Could others detect that telltale scent?
You know you should change your pad; it's the sensible thing to do.
But it’s no use. Those demands just keep pouring in.
You're caught in a bind, torn between work and self-care.
You crave a better solution, one that goes the distance without the smells and discomfort. If only there was such a solution.
You can't help but daydream about a world where someone's already cracked the code—a comfy, dependable, and long-lasting solution to your monthly’s.
We’re told by doctors to change pads every few hours, tampons every 4 to 8 hours.
The BS issues we’ve got to ‘put up with’. 👿
“Well, g’day there.”
No more!
You might be a newbie to using period underwear.
The good news is government sources and doctors reckon period underwear can typically last about a day.
Of course, this depends on the underwear absorbency style you pick and your flow.
WOW.
Talk about gaining more freedom and protection.
So when is it time to change into a fresh pair of undies, you ask?
Oh, you’ll know.
Over at [pee chee cheex] HQ, we suggest changing them when they get a tad damp.
You can keep 'em on as long as your daily flow allows.
We hear how some users push the limits of absorbency. They rave about how these undies:
✅ “absorbs moisture leaving you feeling dry all day”, or
✅ “It copes with my heaviest flow all day at work”, and
✅ “They truly last all night long, no more stains on my sheets or sleeping in awkward positions!”
The patented design absorbs more period and pee. No undie protects like [pee chee cheex] ...or feels like them.
We've even tested them extensively with heavy bleeders…
… pushing way beyond what we reckon is hygienic (to be honest).
We went to the gym, zero leaks. Then, we took it up a notch. Sat on 'em for hours at the desk, working our butts off. No worries!
Despite the feeling that we 'should change', there were no leaks, so we kept testing them - over and over again.
Some of you might be mortified.
It's strange not to change out of your period undies after the gym and sit at the desk for hours.
All for the sake of science, research and product development.
(But seriously, how can a single pair of undies handle period blood like it's nothing? What kind of amazing powers of absorbency is THAT?!? 🤯)
And how does it work, you ask?
[pee chee cheex] period undies have a super absorbent core that doesn't just absorb your flow but wicks it away from your nether regions.
And guess what? [pee chee cheex] leakproof design is as secure as Fort Knox, especially around the thigh gap.
We’re not done yet!
Here’s the BEST part…
We get it. The area where your vulva and absorbent gusset live is a snug space.
That's why we created a 3D Comfort gusset.
It's thin around the legs, whether you pick Regular-Heavy or Super-Heavy styles.

PS: since [pee chee cheex] period undies last longer, you won't feel the need to change as often. So obviously, you wouldn’t be ditching disposables to switching for a pack of 24 undies to cover your cycle 😉.
PSS: let’s talk sense… and cents. Most of us spend around 15 to 20 bucks monthly on disposable period products. That’s made up of two packs of pads and or tampons (three plus if your flow is super heavy), which is about five bucks a pop, plus a pack of liners. Bottom line? You're looking at $180 to $240 a year, easy. And that's just for the basic stuff (not the cotton or overnight or extra-long wings).
PSSS: Now, here's the genius. Our Bikini Regular-Heavy 4-pack is only $119 during the sale. You'll break even in 6 to 8 months. Want more freedom? Grab the 7-pack from $189, and it pays for itself in a year.
