The Junior Adaptive Bikini
Heavy absorbency: designed for heavy days and optimum accessibility.
Absorbs up to 9 tampons of flow and 5 pads.
Hi! I’m a classic mid-rise with super powers. I have easy to grasp velcro loops that make it super easy for people who period to get in and out of me. I make getting in and out of me a breeze. I also make heavy days a breeze. I have a four-layer towel system that can handle your period flow for hours and, with a wicking layer, can super absorb, so that you never experience any wetness. On top of all these super powers, I’m also made of super soft organic cotton.
When to wear: on heavy days, mid days, and any day, if you love more accessible underwear.
This style runs small - order up a size!
All sales on adaptive styles are final.
We designed this style with the utmost comfort in mind; however, if the garment fits too snugly on the body the adjustable closures will struggle to remain closed. Due to the nature of the adjustable closures, we highly recommend sizing up a complete size.

How long will one pair of Period. last?
Everybody periods differently so it’s tough to be exact. Our average time is about 8 hours on a heavier flow day. Though some customers need to change after 3 to 4 hours, and others can go up to 14 hours (lucky them!). As your period gets lighter, one pair can take you through the day and night (just like regular underwear). But again, everybody Periods differently, so you need to take one cycle to figure out exactly how often you need to change. Start with a conservative estimate on your heavy days, and check in on your Period underwear after 4 hours. If you still feel good, give it another hour. Keep going until you figure out your limit. Here at Period, we find we need between 3 to 4 pairs on the first two heavy days, including evenings. And if you leak, please forgive us! Just this once. (Remember how many tampons you have forgiven). Treat the ‘leak’ as a gift and note the hour of your leakage. That is the best indicator of your ‘flow threshold’ how long the underwear will last for you.
Congratulations. By wearing 1 pair of Period. versus using 5 pads or up to 8 tampons you’ve not only saved money, you’ve saved a whole lot of trash from harming the planet.
Even fancy pads and tampons end up in a landfill and most of them never ever decompose. Not to mention, all the packaging and applicators. So, Thank You.
