What to Wear During your Period

Ok, so it's the week of your period, and you're trying to decide what to wear to school this morning. It can be hard to know if what you wear will be comfy, guard against leakage, and not give you a VPL (Visible Pad Line- ew!), so here are some suggestions of what to steer clear of and what works well during that time of the month.
 

















UNDERWEAR
Unless you wear tampons, thongs are not a good option. Pads typically won't stick to a thong, and you will have leakage. When wearing a pad, boyshorts can also be difficult to wear, as many pads with wings don't fit as well into them. I recommend bikini underwear. You should also steer clear of your favorite cute panties, in case of accidents.  You can buy cheap underwear from places like Wal-Mart or Target, and keep those handy for that time of the month.

PANTS vs. SKIRTS/DRESSES
When you wear tighter fitting pants, you don't have to worry about pads shifting as much as when you have on a skirt. However, I've successfully worn both without much of a problem. It's really personal preference when it comes to skirts vs. pants. If you wear leggings, make sure whatever you have over them is long enough. Leggings are NOT pants, especially during your menstrual cycle, where the outline of a pad can be seen if you're wearing something too tight or clingy. Take a good look int he mirror before you go out in public, just to be on the safe side.
SHIRTS
Long shirts and tunics, for sure, are something I like to wear during my period. That way, in the unlikely case that I leak through my pants, I have a shirt that will cover my butt until I can change. Severe leaks like that aren't common, but having a long shirt definitely helps me feel less self conscious.

COLORS
You don't have to have to have to wear dark colored pants or skirts during your period, but it does help many girls to feel more confident! If you wear white or other light colors on the bottom, you might be worrying about leaks a lot more. I feel more secure when I wear dark or black jeans and skirts, so I recommend you try that out, especially on the heavier days of your cycle.
I hope these tips helped you out! What do you like to wear during your period? Leave me a comment and let me know!

Love,
Alli

  3. Hey! I think you should try wearing a period panty along with your pads. I tried Adira Period Panty and it has saved me from getting embarrassed so many times. My friends and I all love it. And it is very affordable, making it an excellent choice.

    1. A) you're a guy, why are you on a period help/primarily for girls website?? B) Girls on here are looking for actual, real help so please shut the fuck up with your "high waist full butt brief panties"... you most likely know nothing about underwear if you're suggesting those.

    2. Six years later and I still hate wearing "high waist full but brief panties" just because this guy was such a massive creep about them. Girls, just wear what you're comfortable with. High waist or not, it doesn't matter.

  15. I usually wear something dark with a skirt over it instead of one or the other. It makes me feel a lot more secure with a skirt than without one. Plus, you don't have to keep tugging at the bottom of your shirt and the skirt is longer than a shirt is anyways so......

  16. Thank you. This has helped me.

  19. I want to wear black leggings, also with shorts. But I'm questioning if I should wear black or light denim shorts, I don't know.

  20. I like to wear something tight, usually tights, I find it feels better than loose clothing. Kind of like an ace bandage on a sprain? Also, I recently found that most women with heavy periods are iron deficient, and that iron supplements help with pms and cramps.

  23. I usually wear 1 pair of knickers with the pad on and then thin tights and then another pair of knickers on top to hide any lines and then black skinny jeans. I find it helps as I’m very self conscious so if anyone has any more suggestions of what I could wear then please help me because I’m struggling.

    1. Yes I am also wearing a pair of knickers with the pad and another pair of tight knicker over them. Then I am wearing a tight spandex shorts and then the jeans. Feeling very tight. But it is more safe...if you have periods or no, it is always better to wear 2 knickers for any jeans...

  27. Great stuff! Keep writing such amazing posts. I use all-in-one option and that is Period proof panties designed by PantiePads. These period panties are made of disposable material and have a strong built-in pad, so no need for additional tampon or pad. They are comfortable enough to wear under any type of clothes, whether it is jeans, skirt or legging, and without any panty lines. I definitely recommend anyone who’s looking for better options for their period to try this brand of period proof panties.
