Learning to cope when you’re starting out with periods can be a big adjustment, but these Love Luna First Period Shortie Briefs, looking and feeling like everyday panties, are specially designed to fit the body shape and needs of girls, both tweens and teens, and can make periods just that little bit easier to deal with. Prettily styled in a shortie style, with cute ‘triple heart’ detail waistband, this knicker shape offers more leg and bottom coverage than a standard brief (we also stock a First Period bikini brief shape from Love Luna).

Love Luna First Period Shortie Briefs are cotton rich for their soft feel, and are made with four layers of leakproof protection; a soft cotton next-to-skin lining, an absorbent, breathable padding layer, a reassuring leak-proof barrier and finally, the cotton outer layer. The layers are able to absorb and lock away between 15-20ml of menstrual fluid — equivalent to 3-4 regular tampons worth of protection. They can be worn on their own, or with another sanitary product until you get to know your flow. Completely washable and PFAS free, Love Luna briefs are a better option for your body, and for the environment over disposable products.
