Beginner’s Guide to a Comfy Period

In a world where innovation meets necessity, menstrual hygiene products have become progressive, where convenience doesn’t come at the cost of comfort.🌸

One such game-changer is a period panty, capable of absorbing up to 6 pads' worth of blood.🩸It’s a revolutionary way to keep the annoying pads and rashes at bay!

However, a comfortable period doesn’t stop there. Enter Holy Cramp and Snuggles, our new cramp-soothing superheroes!

Want to transform your period experience? Read along!

Step 1: Choose Period Panties That Match Your Flow

So, you’re curious about period panties but aren’t sure if they’ll work? Don’t worry; we were in your shoes once too—curious and cautious. So we’re here to help you find the right pair.

Here’s how to choose them👇🏼:

Pick the right absorbency. Nushu period panties come in five styles and three absorbency levels:

1. Super Heavy: Best for days 1 and 2 when your flow is heaviest.
2. Heavy: Perfect for moderate flow days, like days 3 and 4.
3. Medium: Ideal for light flow days, such as the tail-end of your period.

💡Pro Tip: Build a mix-and-match collection for your entire cycle – keeping at least 1 pair of each absorbency level ensures you’re sorted for the entire cycle. 

Our Fantastic Five Combo is a curated set of styles designed for every day of your flow—your go-to for an effortless cycle!

If you’d rather try 1 pair first, and then stock up on more pieces, go for the Hip Hugger! It’s a customer-favorite (bestseller-alert!), absorbs up to 6 pads of blood and has padding that goes all the way to the back! ✨

 

Step 2: Picking the Right Size

Generally, going for the same size as your regular underwear works for most women. Our sizing is similar to most popular brands.

However, when in doubt, we suggest grabbing that measuring tape! Get your hip measurements (not waist) & compare against our size guide below.

 If you’re still doubtful, drop us a text – we’re here to help :)

 

Step 3: Prep for Period Freedom

Once your Nushu period panties arrive, wait for your cycle to begin. If you use panty liners pre-period as caution, try our ultra-thin Cheeky Lace—it feels just like your regular underwear!

When your period starts, wear the appropriate Nushu style for your flow.

Here's what we suggest👇🏼:

If you feel the need, change into a fresh pair in the evening.

💤 Extra Tip: For heavy overnight flow, choose styles like Lace Bikini or Hip Hugger, which come with extended padding to keep you dry as you sleep.

 

Step 4: Wash the Underwear

We have an easy, 3 step guide right here! But essentially:

1. Rinse the underwear in running cold water🚿until the water runs clear (give it a few squeezes).
2. Hand wash or machine wash using your preferred detergent.🧼
3. Hang dry (no no to dryers!), preferably in sunlight/open, airy areas.☀️

⌛ Timing Note: Drying takes 8-10 hours, so we recommend owning at least three pairs to maintain a seamless rotation.

 

Step 5: Soothe Cramps with Holy Cramp & Snuggles

Your comfort matters, which is why we’ve added two new besties to your period arsenal:

1. Holy Cramp

Your cramps don’t stand a chance with this all-natural roll-on, infused with 5 essential oils. 

Roll it onto your lower abdomen (or other affected areas) and let it work its soothing magic. 

✨ Bonus: It’s pocket friendly & lasts up to 24 cycles!

2. Snuggles

Heat therapy has never been cuter (or cozier)! 

Snuggles is a microwavable bag that hugs your body, providing instant relief for cramps, backaches, or just when you need some extra warmth.

It’s filled with natural heat-retaining ingredients like flaxseeds, clay beads & lavender, to provide long-lasting warmth and soothing aromatherapy. 

✨ Bonus: It doubles as a cold compress too! Just freeze it for an hour & it’s good to go!

💡 Pro Tip: Pair Holy Cramp and Snuggles for the ultimate relaxation duo (save when you get them both). Use the roll-on while lounging with your heating pad—it’s like a spa day for your period.

 

Step 6: Repeat and Re-Use

Each period underwear can be used for 2 years. It not only replaces pads as a more comfortable, safe option – but also an economic one!

By combining Nushu period panties with our cramp-relief solutions, Holy Cramp and Snuggles, you’ll be prepared for every aspect of your cycle—from comfort to pain relief.
