Getting the confidence to go swimming when you’ve only recently begun periods can be daunting, but these girl’s and teens Love Luna First Period Swimwear Boyleg Briefs can provide much-needed reassurance. Offering protection from unwanted leaks when you’re both in and out of the water, these swim briefs have a four-layer absorbent, leak-preventing system. Perhaps best of all, they’re attractively designed, with a buttery-soft feel outer that looks just like any other kind of swimwear. A matching Love Luna’s Girl’s Swim Bikini Top is also available here at SOCKSHOP.

Designed for medium flow use, absorbing between 10-15ml (that’s around 2-3 regular tampons), the four-layer gusset of the briefs has a soft cotton lining next to the skin, absorbent, breathable 2-way stretch padding, a leak-proof barrier and water-repelling outer. They are helpful to anyone who hasn’t chosen to use tampons or menstrual cups yet, but can also be used alongside other forms of protection for days with a heavier flow. Like all Love Luna’s period products, these bottoms are completely PFAS (per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances) free, protecting both the wearer and the environment.
