The range of Femi.Eko® menstrual panties is wide and designed for different absorption needs. Some of our collections can hold the equivalent of 5 regular tampons (45 ml), but the Luna and AllBody collections can hold up to the equivalent of 8 regular tampons (60 ml). The majority of our menstrual panties have moderate to heavy absorbency, which is ideal for up to 10 hours of protection, although depending on your flow, you can wear the panties for up to 12 hours (doctors do not recommend this long, as it is best to maintain safe hygiene). The difference in the level of protection is due to the absorption layers, which can be thicker in several layers, or have fewer layers (like our Light Absorbency), but also due to the absorption area, which can be half or all the way to the back of the panties.

You can see our absorbency level chart , which gives you a good overview of how much our menstrual panties can absorb, compared to other menstrual products.

We use hemp fabric for our absorbent layer because it offers several benefits, including:

Sustainability: Hemp is a fast-growing and renewable resource that requires minimal water and no pesticides to grow, making it an environmentally friendly choice.

Durability: Hemp fibers are strong and durable, resulting in long-lasting and elastic textiles that become even more absorbent with each wash.

Breathability: Hemp fabric is breathable and moisture-wicking, making it comfortable to wear, even in different weather conditions.

Antibacterial properties: Hemp has natural antibacterial properties that help reduce odor and promote hygiene. It can also be washed at 60 degrees without shrinking.

Eco-friendly processing: The production of hemp fabric requires fewer chemicals and toxins compared to other textiles, further reducing the environmental impact.

Biodegradability: Hemp textiles are biodegradable, which means they naturally break down over time, thus reducing the amount of waste.

With hemp as a material, we ensure both high functionality and environmental friendliness.

Women bleed for approx. 10 years of their lives. Yes, that's a lot!

If you switch to menstrual panties and sustainable intimate products such as menstrual cups , menstrual discs or reusable pads from Femi.Eko®, you can save up to DKK 30,000 or more (depending on where you live and how much you pay for menstrual products).

You don't believe it? Just do the math:

35 years x 12 periods x 5 days on average = 2100 menstrual days/ 5 years and 8 months of uninterrupted menstrual days – crazy, right?

4 menstrual pads/day x 2100 days = 8400 menstrual pads

DKK 4.50/bundle x 8400 menstrual panties = DKK 37,800/ IN YOUR LIFETIME

FEMI.EKO®'S MENSTRUATION PANTIES

At 35 YEARS, you must replace menstrual panties approx. 7 times.

Let's say you buy 6 sets of menstrual panties during this time.

7 x 6 = 42 sets of menstrual panties in a lifetime.

DKK 187.00 x 42 sets of menstrual panties = DKK 7,854.00/ IN YOUR LIFETIME

When you have your period, it can be a good idea to have extra menstrual panties with you and a small plastic bag to store the used panties in. If you want a more environmentally friendly solution, instead of a plastic bag, you can choose our wet-bag solution made for this purpose. The wet-bag solution can be used as storage for your menstrual panties and is the perfect companion when Aunt Flo shows up. If you don't have the opportunity to change panties in a public toilet, we recommend that you have a reusable pad from Femi.Eko® with you as an extra protection.

Although Femi.Eko® menstrual panties are of good quality and have full protection, we cannot offer a guarantee against leakage.

It all depends on how heavy your period is or if you tend to have heavy bleeding, which can mostly be the ones that create risks. If you have days with heavy bleeding, we recommend using an extra menstrual cup or a menstrual disc , from Femi.Eko®, which will definitely give you the security you need. The best way to test the absorbency is to use the panties for the first time while you are at home.
