What To Wear For Comfort And Hygiene During Periods?
As we observe World Menstrual Hygiene day on May 28, we thought of sharing with you some easy tips and tricks to help get through the ‘that time of the month’ with the utmost care, comfort and of course safety. While there’s a lot that one needs to take care of, while on their periods, something as basic as clothing also needs some special attention. Right ladies? I mean, from the underwear you choose to the silhouette options that cling the least to your body, curating a closet dedicated to that time of the month, can be a hassle. Hence we have listed for you some easy choices to make in terms of clothing while on your periods. Take a look:
Make Lingerie Your BFF
First things first, picking the right kind of lingerie is the first step to comfort. Underwear that is both comfortable and leakproof is the only combination we’re on the lookout for. Give your set of pretty thongs a break during periods and opt for soft and 100% cotton fabric only.
Invest In Period Panties
An invention we’re sure you would want to *add to cart,* period panties are legit saviours to help resolve the stress of spotting. Much like underwear that does a fab job of absorbing the period blood, it is recommended to club your period panties with tampons and menstrual cups and not your regular pads. This one is your true friend girls.
Comfort Is King
You can never go wrong with athleisure and loungewear, especially during Summers. A perfect pick that will snuggle you during those painful period cramps and comfort your body during days of heavy flow, this category is a no brainer choice.

Silhouette And Stretch Matters
While interestingly many women rely on high-waisted and tighter waists during periods, it is recommended to allow your body to breathe in lighter, extra large clothes. Hence, when stacking up your period closet, make sure to look out for stretchable waists, not-so fitted denims and cotton culottes or palazzos.

Colour
I know much like Holi, white remains a villain colour during periods, ‘coz we know you don’t wanna spend half a day scrubbing the stain away. It is best to opt for darker hues and fun prints to help you conceal the stain better in case of leakage.

Fabric And Style
Well, just like many, I too am in favour of pyjamas, but sadly that’s just not the only thing you’d wanna wear for times you’re heading out. And for cute coffee or hot chocolate dates with your girlfriends or a stroll in the neighbourhood, you can opt for anything from a comfy silk dress, printed maxi dresses or summer’s favourite sundresses. Tailored using heavy fabric and easy to wear silhouette, fabrics like cotton and silk will make sure to be at your service at all times during periods.
