The Adaptive Period. in Microfiber For Heavy Flows

Heavy absorbency: Designed for heavy days and optimum accessibility. Absorbs up to 9 tampons or 5 pads of flow. Great for bladder leaks too! Hi! I’m a new-and-improved version of our Adaptive Period, inspired by excellent community feedback. I'm the perfect period solution for all types of bodies, abilities, and mobilities. I have soft and secure Velcro fasteners on the sides so you don't have to step in and out of me to wear - perfect for caretakers or those with limited dexterity. I can’t tell you how many times I have been thoroughly wear tested to ensure the Velcro doesn't scratch the body and or create any sensory issues. The Velcro is soft and flexible for comfortable long term wear, and makes it easy to fit around meters and ostomy bags. My extended gusset offers maximum coverage from front to back, and is made of organic cotton for ultimate comfort. I know what you’re thinking. I sound so good, can you even wear me if you don’t have any mobility challenges. The answer is yes! As always. Period. Is for everyone. Did I mention how soft I am? When to wear: day or night, on heavy or light days. Trying to do period math? Click here to work out how many pairs you need for your period according to your Flow Threshold.

How to Wear Period.

What's my flow threshold?

Everyone periods differently. When you try your first pair of Period, you’ll need to figure out how many hours they can last for on a heavy day. That’s your flow threshold. You know how you just know with a tampon and pad? And how intuitive it is when you need to change? Well, the same thing goes with Period underwear. On that first try, check in on your underwear every hour or so and see how they’re doing. You’ll know when you’ve hit that threshold, then just remember that time, so you can build your Period plan around it.

How many pairs should I buy?

How many pairs you need per period is decided by two things: do you want to wash any pairs during your period and reuse them? And what’s your flow threshold?

Just to give you an idea (but remember everyone periods differently):

• We tend to use 3–4 Heavy Period pairs for Day 1, and the same for Day 2.
• For Days 3–6, we typically wear one pair of Light Period a day.
• If you don’t want to wash and reuse pairs, that’s around 8 Heavy + 4 Light pairs.
• If you do plan to wash and reuse, you can cut that down by half (4 Heavy + 2 Light).
