General Questions
Period panties are innovative, environmentally friendly, comfortable menstrual products that are machine washable and reusable. They look the same as regular panties. Thanks to their smart fabric layers, they quickly absorb and trap the liquid.
Kiklou period panties are ingenious products that we designed by taking advantage of advanced textile technology, taking the needs of menstruating people into consideration. Our panties, consisting of many different fabrics, absorb and trap the liquid quickly, providing impermeability, leak-free period experience and comfort - thanks to their smart layer systems.
The layer that touches the skin is a permeable layer that quickly removes moisture from the skin. Our super absorbent core layer system holds and traps the liquid. Our liquid-tight, leak-tight, ultra-breathable membrane layer keeps your clothes, linens and everything else stain-free. Our durable and resilient outer fabric holds our smart textile layers tightly, providing the perfect support so that you can wear your panties for years.
Kiklou menstrual panties have two different absorbency levels, for days when you bleed light-moderate and for days when you bleed heavily.
The absorbency capacity of our panties, which you can use on days when you have light-moderate bleeding, corresponds to 1-2 regular pads or 2-3 regular tampons. When used on appropriate days, it provides leak-tightness up to 10-12 hours.
Our panties for heavy days have an absorbency capacity corresponding to 3-4 regular pads or 4-5 regular tampons. When used on appropriate days, it prevent liquid from escaping up to 10-12 hours.
Every body is unique. Menstrual bleeding differs also quite different from body to body. Approximately 50-80 ml of blood is released in a single menstrual bleeding. The amount of bleeding will depend on the days, physical activity, method of contraception used, diet, etc. and everyone's "menstrual" normal is their own. Even the shape of your vulva, outer labia, and the angle of your vaginal opening will affect the way you bleed into your panties. In some people, bleeding can be very central, causing fluid to accumulate in the crotch area, in the narrowest place, and this can result the period panties to reach it capacity sooner. However, those who have forward or reverse flow direction can use their period panties for much longer. For this reason, we give intervals for the duration and aim for everyone to figure out the most suitable use time for themselves by paying attention to their unique menstrual flow (hello cycle awareness!). We can guarantee a leak-proof experience up to 10 hours if worn on suitable days; but we remind you that this duration may be longer for many.
How many period panties you will use depends entirely on your menstrual cycle, the intensity of your bleeding, your needs and habits. However, with an average of 5 Kiklou period underwear, you can spend your entire period in comfort. If you wear two menstrual panties in one day, then wash and dry the one you wore, you can switch to the 3rd one the next day. Thus, you create a system where you can spend your period completely in your menstrual panties.
Our liquid-tight membrane layer ensures that liquid is trapped in the underwear. The liquid tightness of this layer has been proven by tests and it is not possible for liquid to pass through the barrier layer. As long as you pay attention to the absorbency capacities of our panties with different absorbency levels and to the recommended usage times, your period panties will not leak or overflow. Always take care of your panties in accordance with the care instructions.
However, since each individual's menstrual bleeding and physiology are unique, we strongly recommend that you pay close attention to your flow during your first experience with Kiklou period panties. In some people, bleeding can be very central and this can cause the fluid to accumulate in the crotch area, in the narrowest place, and reach the volume capacity of the menstrual panties sooner (for this reason, we can only give an interval as a wearing time recommendation). However, those who bleed in a forward or reverse flow direction can use their period panties much longer than the recommended time.
Yes! All of our fabrics that make up our period panties are certified. You can find more information about our certificates here.
Size Information
You can find your size by reviewing our size chart. You can find the chart here. If your hip circumference is close to the upper limit of the relevant size in the chart and you experience bloating during your period, we recommend that you buy an upper size period panties. E.g; your hip circumference is 104 cm. This is the upper limit of size L. If you experience menstrual bloating as well, you may feel more comfortable if you prefer size XL 🙂
You can easily find your size by measuring your hips with a tape measure. The hip measurement is the measurement taken from the most protruding part of the buttocks while in a natural, upright posture. It is best to be naked when measuring.
Feet should not be touching each other while standing during measuring. They should naturally stand next to each other. When measuring, you should keep the tape measure parallel to the ground. You should not tighten the tape measure too much or leave it loose. You can measure your hips yourself in front of a full-length mirror or get help from someone.

Care
You can find detailed answers to this question in the Use and Care Guide.
The dryer may affect your period panties' integrity and may prevent them from functioning optimally. We recommend hanging or laying the panties to dry.
Avoid stain removers, bleach, softeners, harsh detergents. Such products may impair the functions of the advanced textile technology of our panties. Try not to wash, neither your period panties nor your regular underwear, with perfumed, synthetic scented detergents. They can cause vaginal irritation. We recommend an unscented detergent with clean ingredients.
