We know that period pants are designed to deal with period blood. But what about other types of flow – discharge, sweat and even after-sex fluid? Let’s find out…
Period pants are a great way to manage your period. Whether it’s light , moderate or heavy , they take in your menstrual flow for up to 12 hours so you can get on with your day without your period getting in the way. And because they’re reusable, is as easy as rinse, wash and repeat .
But we all know that it’s not just a few days of blood that we have to contend with. Our bodies are always flowing. We get discharge throughout our whole menstrual cycle – sometimes it’s sticky or clumpy, it can be thick or thin, white, yellow, brown, and everything in-between. We bleed, we sweat, we flow. Sometimes a few drops of pee escape, or we experience those after-sex drips. But what if your underwear didn’t have to feel wet or uncomfortable, and instead you could just go with your flow feeling prepared for whatever your body throws your way?
Get ready for a new way to take care of your flows, whatever they may be. They’re as comfortable as your regular underwear, so you can pop them on and forget all about it. No need to worry about any fluid that might flow your way.
Let’s look at all of the different fluids you might experience, and how Bodyform Period Panrs can save the day (and your underwear).

Blood
Our whole range of period pants can absorb your menstrual flow. Built with Tritech Performance, it consists of 3 layers in the gusset (that’s the bit between your legs that rests against your vulva) that work together to absorb your flow, and keep your skin stay feeling dry no matter what.

But blood isn’t the only thing you have to deal with, so what about other types of flow?
Delightful discharge
Getting vaginal discharge is completely normal. Depending on the different hormonal phases of your menstrual flow, your discharge could be white, clear, yellow, or watery. Sometimes it’s stringy and slippery like egg whites, while other times it’s clumpy or creamy like moisturiser. While it’s natural to have discharge, it’s not always enjoyable to feel the wetness of it in your underwear.
For those times when you might perhaps have used a liner or else ended up feeling sticky and uncomfortable in your regular underwear, using our pants mean you feel as dry after 12 hours of wear as you did from the first minute you put them on.
Don’t sweat the sweat
In all of the parts of your V-Zone (that’s your vagina, vulva and the V-shaped front of your body that you can see) that naturally grow pubic hair , there are also glands that produce sweat. Your vulva is no different from your armpit – if you’re hot or doing some intense exercise, it’s natural that you get a little sweaty.
That being said, feeling damp and worrying about your V-Zone being a bit whiffy isn’t pleasant, but there are a few things that can help. You could try taking regular showers to get rid of any sweat, particularly after exercising on your period, or wearing a pair of period pants. Our Period Pants absorb sweat in a flash, so there’s no need to worry about any post-workout dampness.
No more after-sex fluids
Arousal fluid, lube, ejaculate, saliva… there are lots of lovely liquids that are a completely normal part of having sex. And while fluids can be fun (and prevent friction), feeling sticky afterwards is not. To avoid dealing with this altogether, putting on a pair of Bodyform Period Pants can effectively absorb any (and all) after-sex fluids.
On every day of our menstrual cycle, we go through a lot – pain, pleasure, and almost every fluid you can think of!
