You have questions. We have answers.
How does the underwear work?
The Boyshort period underwear features integrated leakproof technology with four protective layers: a moisture-wicking layer for dryness, a high-absorbency core holding up to eight tampons' worth of flow, a leakproof barrier for secure protection, and a breathable outer layer for comfort.
The built-in leak-proof technology is harder working than disposable pads, meaning it not only holds more liquid but lasts for years, not hours.
Do I need to wear a pad or tampon too?
Nope! Wear Scarlet period undies alone for reliable protection or you can use them as a backup with a Period Cup or tampon.
What does the absorbency level mean?
Super Light: Holds up to 1 teaspoon, which is equal less than 1 regular tampons. Think of it as a new-age panty liner, so it’s great for spotting as well as light leaks and discharge. Try: Invisible Thong
Light: Holds up to 3 teaspoons, which is equal to 2 regular tampons or 1 pad. This is for light days to save you from pesky drips, discharge, and lighter flows. Try: G-String or Bikini Brief in Light
Moderate: Holds up to 5 teaspoons, which is equal to 3 regular tampons or 2 pads. Go for this on your moderate days or as an extra defence on heavy days with our Period Cup. Try: High-Waisted Brief or Bikini Brief in Moderate
Heavy: Holds up to 7 teaspoons, which is equal to 4 regular tampons or 3 pads. Our heavy-hitters are great on their own, day or night. Try: Boyshort or Period Cup
Do I have to wash them asap after use?
Nope – who’s that organised? That’s why our Laundry Bag is ace – simply throw your used pair into the bag and store for when you have a full load. Some people like to give them a quick rinse in the shower before popping into the bag, and others don’t. It won’t affect the lifespan of your underwear.
Once you are ready, simply toss them in on a cold wash cycle with mild detergent (no bleach!). DW, your other clothes will be just fine! For drying, you have two options: tumble dry on low or hang them out to dry in the sun.
TIP: if it’s your first wear, pop them in the washing machine with your next cold cycle - washing them before wearing activates their absorbency even more.
How do I pick the right size for me?
We get it — sizing for bottoms is anything but standardised. Which is why this size guide will help break it down for you. Make sure to check both our numeric or letter sizing so no confusion (ie. Our large is a 12).
When in doubt, we advise to size up. Still confused? You can also email us for help at support@scarletperiod.com.
What if I don’t love them?
We offer a 30-Day Risk-Free Trial for first-time shoppers for one pair of underwear. If you’re unsatisfied or have sizing concerns, email us at support@scarletperiod.com.
How much money will I save?
By switching to Scarlet, you can save up to $1080 over five years compared to disposable pads and tampons. Not bad, huh!
Why buy a bundle?
Save money and stay prepared! With your period lasting between 3-8 days, a multipack ensures you have enough pairs to manage your cycle comfortably. Check out some of our best-selling sets.
