WHY WE LOVE IT
Our Penelope Period String 2-Pack combines the barely-there feel of a classic string with discreet, reliable period protection. Made from exceptionally soft and breathable TENCEL™ Lyocell, they feature a flattering mid-rise fit, slightly high-cut leg and delicate lace trim – designed to look and feel like your favourite lingerie while giving you extra confidence throughout your cycle.
The built-in absorbent and leakproof layers provide protection equivalent to up to 2 regular tampons or pads, making them ideal for lighter flow days, spotting, irregular periods or as backup protection on heavier days. 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 string silhouette offers minimal coverage without compromising on protection, making it an easy choice for lighter days, the beginning or end of your period, irregular cycles and perimenopause, as well as for occasional light leaks.
Mix and match with our Penelope Period Briefs 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.
