The Downsides of Period Underwear—and How Saalt Wear Solves Them

Period underwear is getting tons of buzz—for good reason! These leakproof period pants are comfy, reusable, and a great alternative (or backup) to pads, tampons, and cups. But while they sound like a dream, period panties aren’t perfect for everyone.




Some common drawbacks include the upfront cost (a single pair can cost $20–$50), and the laundry routine—you’ll need to rinse, wash gently, and air dry them. If you have a heavy flow, you might also need to change pairs during the day, which isn’t always convenient. And like regular underwear, fit really matters—too tight or too loose can lead to discomfort or leaks. Lastly, some brands use synthetic fabrics or chemicals that may not be ideal for sensitive skin or the planet.

That’s where Saalt Wear comes in. Made with sustainable, toxin-free materials (like TENCEL™ and recycled fibers), Saalt offers comfy, stylish, and size-inclusive period underwear in absorbencies for every flow. Plus, as a certified B Corp, Saalt gives back 1% of revenue to support menstrual health globally.
