In many cases, this applies not only to animal-based foods such as meat or eggs, but also to other products such as cosmetics or clothing.
If you have chosen a vegan lifestyle and are wondering if our period underwear is vegan, you can find the answer in this article.
What does veganism mean?
While vegetarians limit themselves to not eating meat, vegans also abstain from all other products of animal origin. Accordingly, they do not eat eggs or dairy products, for example.
However, animal products are not only found in food, but also in various other products. This is not always obvious at first glance, for example in leather shoes.
If veganism is not just an environmentally conscious way of eating for you, but a real way of life, you will have to make some effort to find out whether the products you choose are actually completely free of animal ingredients.
Animal materials in textiles
Animal raw materials are still very widespread in our everyday lives. Among other things, they are also contained in many textiles. This is not always obvious at first glance. One of the reasons for this is that animal fibres in garments do not necessarily have to be indicated if they are not the main fibres and, for example, only have a decorative purpose.
If you want to completely avoid animal products in your everyday life, this can be a challenge in practice.
Why live vegan at all?
The reasons why people choose a vegan lifestyle are very different. Some simply want to do without animal foods for the sake of their health and therefore eat only plant-based food. For others, however, animal welfare and the protection of the environment are the primary concerns.
After all, it is no longer a secret that farm animals are kept under extremely questionable conditions and that modern factory farming is also an enormous burden on the environment and the climate. The vast majority of agricultural land on our planet is used directly or indirectly for livestock farming. Meat production gobbles up huge amounts of water year after year and the soils are considerably polluted and contaminated in many areas by factory farming.
The list could go on for quite a while. So there is no doubt that giving up animal products has many advantages. Whether you decide to go this route and how seriously you want to take the issue is, of course, entirely up to you.

Not all menstrual products are vegan
Be aware that not all menstrual products are vegan. Some menstrual underwear manufacturers use wool as well as cotton and synthetic fibres.
In addition, adhesive surfaces and labels of menstrual products may sometimes contain adhesives containing casein. Casein is a protein found in cow's milk.
Hygienic cleanliness in the washing machine
Of course, in terms of sustainability, it is essential that your period panties are reusable. At the same time, of course, you want to be sure that your vegan period underwear offers you impeccable hygiene.
Since Weekiss period panties are machine washable, this is not a problem. After wearing them, simply rinse your period panties under cold, clear water and then wash them with the rest of your laundry at up to 40 degrees.
