Why Period-Proof Swimwear?
Women are burdened by the challenges that come with menstruation, and it’s the worst when it can stop us doing things we love like swimming. The period-proof swimwear combines advanced technology with stylish designs, giving women the freedom to swim and engage in water activities without the fear of leaks. By offering a reliable and comfortable alternative to traditional swimwear, Petaluda Swimwear is transforming the way women experience their periods while still embracing an active lifestyle.
How does it work?
Petaluda Swimwear's period-proof swimwear features a three-layered system that ensures maximum protection and peace of mind. The innermost layer is made of moisture-wicking fabric that quickly absorbs any menstrual fluid, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable. The middle layer acts as a leak-proof barrier, preventing any potential leaks from reaching the outer layer. The outer layer is not only stylish and fashionable but also dries quickly, making it ideal for extended periods in and out of the water. With Petaluda Swimwear, women can now swim and bask in the sun without any worries.
Sustainability and Economic Benefits
In addition to the incredible convenience and functionality, Petaluda Swimwear's period-proof swimwear is an environmentally friendly choice. By opting for reusable and washable swimwear, women can significantly reduce their contribution to single-use plastic waste generated by disposable sanitary products. Moreover, some local councils have recognized the importance of sustainable menstrual hygiene options and offer rebates on reusable sanitary items, including period-proof swimwear. This initiative not only supports women's health but also encourages the adoption of eco-conscious choices. With these rebates, women can enjoy the benefits of Petaluda Swimwear while also contributing to a cleaner and greener future.
Breaking Taboos and Empowering Women
Petaluda Swimwear's period-proof swimwear not only offers practical solutions but also plays a vital role in breaking societal taboos surrounding menstruation. By normalizing conversations about periods and providing products that cater to women's needs, Petaluda Swimwear empowers women to embrace their bodies and live life to the fullest.
Petaluda Swimwear's period-proof swimwear is a game-changer, revolutionizing the way women experience their periods during water activities. It's time to embrace freedom, empowerment, and worry-free swimming experiences.
FAQS
Can people tell I’m wearing period swimwear?
Definitely not. The appearance, style and fabric resemble common swimwear styles. No one will be able to differentiate them from other regular swimwear.
Do I have to wear a menstrual cup or tampon with the swimwear?
Nope! Our swimwear is designed to be worn without tampons and can hold at least 2 tampons worth of blood.
If you have a particularly heavy day, you can wear tampons or cups in addition to the swimwear.
How do they work when I get into the water?
The gusset layers of the swimwear bottoms are designed to capture and absorb menstrual blood. To make sure you feel completely secure while wearing our swimwear, there are 2 layers of absorbent mesh and a third fully leak-proof layer.
If you have a heavy flow, we recommend putting them on right before swimming for maximum protection.
Our swimwear has been worn out of the water for several hours with absolutely no leaks, so you can wear them for hours before swimming but remember to quickly rinse them prior to getting in the water to release any large volume trapped blood.
How much blood do they hold?
Our swimwear can hold at least 2 regular tampons worth of blood. If you have bled into the swimwear heavily whilst out of the water, we do recommend giving them a quick rinse before heading into the water.
Can this swimwear be used for incontinence as well as periods?
Yes!! We know that many women suffer from incontinence. Our products can absorb 20mls of liquid so they can be used for light incontinence.
Do our products contain PFAS?
PFAS (Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances) are not used in our products.
