First period products
For her first period and the ones that follow.
Her period’s here? Choose underwear for her flow and fit, plus practical help with changing, school days and care.
The familiar part
Period protection. Pull-on simple.
Period underwear absorbs menstrual flow in a built-in lining. There’s nothing to insert or stick in place. She wears it as underwear, changes when it needs changing, then rinses and washes it for the next wear.
Already started or getting prepared, the useful first step is the same: choose a style for her flow, then check her fit.
Meet Bumpers Briefs
Four layers. Side barriers. Different jobs.
Bumpers Briefs combine a four-layer absorbent lining with raised barriers along the side seams. The lining absorbs flow; the barriers give extra protection where the lining meets the leg opening.
That makes construction worth comparing, alongside her flow and the fit she prefers. The side barriers are a Bumpers feature, not a feature of every style below.
Which pair, for when?
Bumpers Briefs
For first and early periods, with an absorbent lining and raised side barriers. A familiar brief shape.
$24.95 AUD
UnderLiner
For spotting, discharge and very light flow. A cotton option for lighter days, not the same protection as Bumpers.
$16.95 AUD
UnderShortie
For fuller front-to-back coverage in a boyshort shape. Let her preferred cut be part of the decision.
$24.95 AUD
The first purchase
One pair first. Or five in rotation.
Trying a new fit? Start with one pair of Bumpers Briefs. Ready to build a rotation? The five-pair first-period underwear bundle gives her pairs to wear while others are being washed and dried.
Five pairs of period underwear, with available sizes and colours shown on the bundle page. A wet pouch is sold separately.
$24.95 AUD
$99.80 AUD
School bag, sorted
A spare pair. A simple plan.
Pack clean underwear and somewhere to put a used pair. Talk through where she can change and who she can ask for help. Let her choose what feels practical for her day.
An Eltee wet pouch is available separately. It isn’t included in the underwear starter bundle.
How do I check her size and fit?
Use the product-specific size chart. Try on over clean underwear with the hygiene sticker in place. For the Pinky Test, slide a pinky finger under the seam around the widest part of the bum.
When should she change?
It depends on her flow and the style she’s wearing. Check regularly while she learns what works for her, and change when the lining feels wet or reaches its capacity. Keep a spare accessible.
How do we wash period underwear?
Rinse in lukewarm water until it runs clear. Cold machine wash without fabric softener, then air dry fully. Don’t tumble dry. Follow the care instructions for her pair.
Can she wear these for swimming?
These are period underwear for everyday wear. For the pool or beach, compare the period swimwear range.
Start with her first pair.
Choose for her flow, check the fit and let her have a say. Getting prepared ahead of time? The same pairs are ready whenever she needs them.
