Where does the blood go in period panties?
If you’ve ever wondered how period panties actually work, you’re not alone. Many people are curious about where the blood goes — and how these special panties keep you dry, fresh, and leak-free. Let’s break down the science behind it.
👙 What Are Period Panties?
Period panties look just like regular underwear but are made with multiple advanced layers of fabric that work together to absorb menstrual flow and prevent leaks. They’re designed to replace or supplement pads and tampons — meaning you can wear them comfortably all day long.
🧵 The 3-Layer Magic Inside
Here’s where the blood goes and how it stays contained:
-
Top Layer — Moisture-Wicking Fabric
This layer touches your skin. It’s designed to quickly pull blood away from your body, so you feel dry and comfortable even during heavier flow days. -
Middle Layer — Super Absorbent Core
This is the powerhouse layer. It absorbs and locks in the menstrual fluid, holding the equivalent of up to five tampons’ worth depending on the style. The fabric traps the blood while preventing it from leaking or smelling. -
Bottom Layer — Leak-Proof Barrier
The final layer acts as a waterproof shield that keeps blood from seeping through to your clothes. It’s what allows you to move, sit, and sleep confidently without worrying about stains.
💧 So, Where Does the Blood Actually Go?
The blood doesn’t “sit” on the surface — it’s absorbed into the middle layer of the panties and locked away in the fabric’s fibers. This is why you can wear them for hours without feeling wet or sticky.
🧺 How to Clean Period Panties
After wearing, just:
-
Rinse them in cold water until it runs clear.
-
Machine wash on a gentle cycle.
-
Air dry only — heat can damage the absorbent layers.
With proper care, your period panties can last up to two years or more.
