During your period, you need reliable protection from your menstrual products not only during the day, but also at night. In addition to tampons and pads, you can also use period underwear for this purpose.
In the following, we will explain how menstrual panties work and why you should use them not only during the day but also at night.
Menstrual panties for the night - the most important things at a glance

What are menstrual briefs?
At first glance, menstrual briefs look like normal underwear. However, unlike your regular panties, they have a special membrane system. This consists of several layers of fabric. The membrane system reliably absorbs the escaping blood during your period and stores it in a leak-proof way. This ensures that you can rely on a pleasantly dry feeling and that nothing stands in the way of an active everyday life despite your period.
Menstrual briefs or pads for the night?
Basically, period briefs and pads work on the same principle. Both menstrual products absorb the blood after it comes out of your vagina and store it. Once they have reached their maximum absorbency, both the pad and the period panties need to be changed.
Compared to sanitary towels, however, menstrual underwear is much easier to handle. The briefs are put on and taken off like normal panties. Since the protection is already integrated, you don't have to glue anything extra into your panties. This has a positive effect on comfort, among other things. In addition, the panties do not slip so easily, so you are perfectly protected at night, even if your sleep is a little more restless.
Menstrual briefs or tampons for the night?
Of course, pads are not the only way to protect yourself during your period. Of course, you can also use tampons. These have to be inserted into the vagina, where they absorb the blood before it can come out.
Unlike a sanitary pad, a tampon cannot slip during the night. On the other hand, it can affect your vaginal flora and can sometimes be uncomfortable. Neither is the case with menstrual underwear. The briefs are very comfortable to wear and you're sure to love them at night. Since you don't have to insert anything into your vagina thanks to period panties, there is also no risk of your vaginal flora being affected.
Period panties are good for the environment
Switching to period underwear not only has a number of advantages for you. Apart from that, the environment also benefits. Unlike conventional tampons and pads, menstrual underwear is not a disposable product.
Once your period briefs have become soaked, you can simply wash them in the washing machine and put them back on after drying or store them until your next period.
This way, you save a lot of unnecessary waste over the years that would accumulate from using tampons and pads. With period underwear, you are actively helping to protect the environment without sacrificing safety and comfort.
Are period panties enough for the night?
In our shop you will find period pants with an absorbency of up to six tampons, whereby you should take the strength of your menstrual bleeding into account when deciding on a particular model.
Most women manage very well at night with a menstrual panty as the only protection. However, if you have unusually heavy periods, it may be better to combine period underwear with a tampon or menstrual cup.
In this case, however, even a tampon or menstrual cup will hardly be enough for the whole night. With period briefs, you have the option of additional protection in the event of heavy bleeding, so that nothing gets in the way of a good night's sleep.
Menstrual briefs for the night - our conclusion
As you can see, period panties are an excellent alternative to tampons and pads. The reusable panties are comfortable to wear at night and ensure that everything stays dry.
Suitable period pants with the right absorbency can play a decisive role in ensuring that you have a restful night's sleep and can relax well during your period. See for yourself and order your first pair of menstrual briefs from the Weekiss online shop.
