WHY WE LOVE IT
Our Penelope Period Briefs 2-Pack combines everyday comfort with reliable period protection in a classic, flattering silhouette. Made from exceptionally soft and breathable TENCEL™ Lyocell, they feature a comfortable mid-rise fit, classic brief shape and delicate lace trim – designed to feel as beautiful as your favourite lingerie while giving you confidence throughout your cycle.
The built-in absorbent and leakproof layers provide protection equivalent to up to 3 regular tampons or pads, making them ideal for light to medium flow, as backup protection on heavier days or simply for extra peace of mind. Soft, breathable and gentle against the skin, the TENCEL™ Lyocell fabric helps regulate temperature and moisture for lasting comfort throughout the day.
Designed to be washed and worn again and again, Penelope is a reusable alternative to disposable period products. The classic brief silhouette offers comfortable everyday coverage, making it a versatile choice for periods and irregular cycles, as well as providing extra protection during postpartum recovery and perimenopause, and for occasional light leaks.
Mix and match with our Penelope Period String or Penelope Period Hipsters for the fit, coverage and absorbency that suits your cycle. Read more about our periodwear.

WASH & CARE
Machine wash before first use. After wear, follow the instructions below:
1. PRE-RINSE: Rinse in cold water as soon as possible after wear until the water runs clear. Machine wash directly afterwards, or hang to dry and set aside for your next load.
2. WASH: Machine wash on a delicate/gentle cycle at 30°C. Do not use fabric softener, as this may affect absorbency. Hang to air dry. Do not tumble dry.
ECO-FRIENDLY TIP: With proper care, your period panties are designed to be washed and reused again and again. If they develop an unwanted odour over time, soak them in a solution of water and white vinegar before machine washing.
