FAQ

Period swimwear

How does Menina period swimwear work?

Our swimwear features an ultra-thin absorbent technology placed in the crotch. Its absorption capacity is equivalent to approximately 2 tampons for a normal flow, tested and validated by the French IFTH laboratory, and it is identical across all our models. The flow is absorbed without leakage or swelling.

Can I swim during my period?

Yes, that is precisely the purpose of our swimwear: to swim, surf, and enjoy the beach during your period, in complete discretion. Simply choose a well-fitting size and adapt the duration of wear to your flow.

How long can I wear it?

It all depends on your flow. Your swimwear absorbs the equivalent of approximately 2 tampons for a normal flow: that is why we speak in terms of absorption capacity rather than number of hours. In case of heavy flow, change it more often.

Can it be seen?

No. The absorbent layer is thin and integrated into the cut: nothing is visible, in the water or out of it.

What is the difference between the period bikini and the swimwear liner?

The period bikini is a bikini bottom to be worn alone. The DUNA swimwear liner slips under your usual swimwear to make it period-friendly.

Size & care

How do I choose my size?

Choose your usual size and use our Size Guide. If you are hesitating between two sizes for a bottom, a one-piece swimsuit, or the DUNA, take the larger one.

How do I care for it and how long does it last?

Rinse it with cold water after use, wash it according to its care label, without fabric softener, and let it air dry. Well cared for, it retains its absorbent properties for several seasons, on average 2 to 3 years.
