why use period underwear?
For ages, we've used traditional products like pads, tampons, and cups. We've followed the same ol' period routine, putting up with discomfort, leaks and risks for years - that's how it's always been.
Finally, we can take charge of our vaginal health with fair dinkum choices.
A new era of innovation has dawned in the form of period underwear, specifically, [pee chee cheex] period undies – our Best Mate Forever (BMF)! By the end of this article, you’ll discover these little legends are the go-to game changers.
Now, before you dismiss the idea, let's have a chat about our old pals, pads. Don’t get me wrong, they've been around forever, but boy, do they have issues. You know what I'm talking about – those bulky, uncomfortable pads that shift around like they've got a mind of their own, leaving you feeling like you've got a nappy on.
They love to play peek-a-boo, shifting and bunching up. And don't get us started on leaks – it’s like playing Russian roulette!
Plus, those sticky adhesives? Recent studies reveal scary chemicals lurking in those disposable pads and tampons.
Not great for your sensitive bits
Oh, and the environmental damage? Pads take forever and a day to decompose in landfills— according to National Geographic, plastic-centric products "will live on for at least 500 years"!
Good luck finding pads that actually fit without paying extra for the privilege of longer and wider coverage.
Tampons? They're a bit better in the freedom department but, they're like trying to stuff a cork into a bottle. They can be painful to insert/remove and they can dry you out like the Aussie outback. Not to mention the dreaded risk of toxic shock syndrome (TSS). Government sources say it’s mainly associated with tampon use.
No one should end up like Lauren Wasser. She says she lost her legs to TSS from using a tampon, "in spite of the fact I had been using the product as directed”. Talk about a horror story. Reported cases are few and far between, but why take that risk?
And let's not forget, tampons add to our landfill problems with their plastic applicators and wrappers.
And cups? While reusable, they come with a learning curve and a messy removal process. Finding the right fit isn't always a walk in the park either. And emptying them in a public loo… no pressure! Yikes!
Now, here's where the game changes – period underwear.
Imagine a world where you don't feel like you're lugging around a mattress between your legs. Period underwear can be your worry-free companions. They typically come with built-in absorbent layers that can handle more liquid than pads and tampons.
They’re designed to fit and feel like your fave pair of undies so they simplify your life.
When it comes to the environment, they're washable and reusable, which is a ripper way to reduce waste. A pair that’s crafted with precision and care can last just like your regular underwear.
Every month, those cost savings really add up. With [pee chee cheex] period undies, you’ll be laughing all the way to the bank. (More about that in a moment)
Enter [pee chee cheex] period undies - the Best Mates Forever (BMF)
Now, let's talk about what sets [Pee Chee Cheex] apart. These undies take period protection to a whole new level. They're as secure and reliable as Fort Knox.
The patented leakproof technology locks away your flow with quad barriers to protect against leaks at the sides and the base, giving you maximum protection against unwanted stains. We call it thigh-gap leak protection.
No undie protects like [pee chee cheex] ...or feels like them.
Comfort is key, and with [Pee Chee Cheex] you get comfort and protection hand in hand. We love high absorbency but hate the bunching up around the legs. To combat this, the super absorbent gusset is shaped to be thin around the leg areas.
Nobody wants funky smells, but we also don't want to smell like a science experiment. [pee chee cheex] design products to actually work without adding chemical treatments for moisture management or odour control.
With a quick-wicking Lenzing Modal first layer and a super absorbent core made of bamboo fibers, our undies have built-in natural odour control. Say g’day to natural odour control WITHOUT added nasty chemicals.
When it comes to fabrics, we've worked hard to find the perfect blend – Lenzing Modal. It's moisture-wicking, odour-controlling, stretchy, and ultra-soft.
And let's not forget the planet. [pee chee cheex] does more. When they’ve had a good run, you can sustainably get rid of them. Each pair of undies are biodegradable and compostable, reducing waste and minimising environmental impact. Switch and Save to [pee chee cheex], and you can contribute to a healthier planet as 85% of every pair can decompose in months, unlike disposable pads and tampons that take centuries.
Final point:
Now, I know what you're thinking: "Are they cost-effective?" Well, consider this – most of us spend around 15 to 20 bucks each month on disposable period products. That adds up to $180 to $240 a year.
But here's the deal: 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.
So with each cycle, you’ll be laughing all the way to the bank.
Oh, and say goodbye to the cost of replacing stained undies and sheets from leaky disposables because…
No undie protects like [pee chee cheex] ...or feels like them.
So, what are you waiting for? It's time to ditch the disposables. It's time to join the revolution of period underwear with [pee chee cheex] period undies. Why? Because our undies are crafted from love, for loved ones.
With Care and Love
[pee chee cheex]
