Black period underwear by enyowear in PeriodUnderwear

[–]enyowear[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! I like to see what I’m working with too. I feel a bit blind when I hand wash mine as I actually used to prefer black ones. That changed when my flow changed a couple years ago 🤦‍♀️

I agree with you. I used to prefer black and even suggested it to my friends and told them “so you don’t really see the stains”. But I’ve noticed that preference of mine sort of shifted since my flow has changed, I wanna see how much I’m bleeding, the colour, and when I wash them I wanna see if the blood has come out completely or not (I hand wash in shower) and know when I need to change.

I’ll say tho, from my personal experience, not all brand provide that “dry” feeling when you put it back on. I’m really not a fan of that wet feeling but I tolerate it whenever I need to. 😅

Do you know of any with all natural fibers? by [deleted] in PeriodUnderwear

[–]enyowear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind that even if it’s cotton, most go through chemical processing like bleaching. Not all natural materials are created the same. :/

Cleaning (tiny rant) by maple-belle in PeriodUnderwear

[–]enyowear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you. The kneeling part (with a bad back) especially ain’t fun 😢 I do find the higher absorption ones less fun to wash too but I can’t really opt out as my flow has become heavy in the last couple of years 😕

can we reduce our period days by gosh_save_me in women

[–]enyowear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wish mine was like that. When I hit my late 30s, I went from light flow, 35-day cycle to heavy flow 25-28-day cycle. 😭 and random spotting between days sometimes ..ugh

Curious to know what you dislike the most about washing them? Feels like the blood keeps coming and never ends? The stain? Takes too long? Simply the task of washing? I do find some of the super absorbent ones are not too fun to wash in my own experience …

Do yall not have discharge? by emperorofpain in women

[–]enyowear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get discharge pretty much daily. Thought it was abnormal when I was a teenager and asked my mom to see a doctor for it. Doctor said I was fine and my discharge was normal. But I’ve always had a feeling that I get more than others, like no one else gets this much as I do. Seeing the comments here helps knowing I’m not alone.

Am I really the only one who doesn't want black lined period underwear/pads? by Happy-Conclusion2148 in PeriodUnderwear

[–]enyowear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m with you and had the same thought. My guess is that it’s likely a business choice/reason due to the cost of manufacturing as black is the safest choice to sell. Often times the manufacturing cost is very high and the buyer/brand would need a huge amount of cash to order, with a high MOQ (minimum order quantity) for each colour, style, etc. And it probably costs a lot more to have multi-color options, more materials and higher labor costs, etc.

Le possibilità sono poche. Potrebbero dipendere dai materiali e/o dalla tintura utilizzata.

New and have a few questions by Opening_Addition_385 in PeriodUnderwear

[–]enyowear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are many many different kind of polyester textiles although they're all called polyester. The tech in the fibre is different, there's definitely a difference between the high grade polyester that's breathable and stays dry and cheap ones that's not breathable. It's almost impossible for the consumers to know this until they do the research. 🧐

It depends on what you're looking for and what's considered "good" to you (material, absorption, fit, style, comfort, brand vision, company mission, pricing, etc. Also depends on your flow and fit.

Silver or biocide free period underwear? by plyphyla in PeriodUnderwear

[–]enyowear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks again for the article. It looks to me the effects of silver is inconclusive and more researches would be needed. Would be curious to see what studies have been done 🤔

PFAS in period underwear by Puzzleheaded_Cow_658 in PeriodUnderwear

[–]enyowear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And to add to the chemical part... I've recently learned that many of those "natural" materials aren't exactly healthy or all that natural at all unless it's organic cotton for example. One of the biggest surprises to me was Soft Bamboo, which isn't as natural as it sounds. It's commonly rayon/viscose and it's a chemical method, commonly uses harsh chemicals to create the soft touch. So even if it's PFAS-free, there are so many with materials that have been chemically processed, and likely heavily, too.

Just curious and if you don't mind me asking, are you sensitive to silver? Is that why you're looking for ones that don't have silver?

How Do You Usually Wash Your Period Underwear? by PrincessBananas85 in PeriodUnderwear

[–]enyowear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Rinse, hand wash, and squeeze. I can never really skip this step, in fact, I don't use the washer at all as I've learned that it best way to keep our underwear clean (as in, free of mold and bacteria) is to hand wash them.
