Next to menstrual cups, menstrual panties are the most effective, hygienic and environmentally friendly menstrual protection device.
Intimina’s Bloom Panties are made from ultra-soft organic cotton and feature OEKO-TEX® certified ®RUCO-BAC HSA CONC antimicrobial technology. They are available in a variety of sizes and offer many benefits.

healthy and biocompatible
Bloom Menstrual Panties are made from gynecologist-approved hypoallergenic organic cotton. This material features ®RUCO-BAC HSA CONC antibacterial technology, which effectively absorbs vulvar sweat and vaginal secretions, allowing the skin to breathe and minimizing the growth of bacteria and common vaginal infections.
Bloom Menstrual Panties are made without harmful chemicals, making them a safer (toxin-free) alternative to pads and tampons. Certain materials used to make some tampons and pads (such as bleach, resins, fragrances, and binders) can be toxic or harmful to our bodies and can cause allergies, infections, etc.
environmentally friendly and sustainable
The cotton used in Intimina’s Bloom Menstrual Panties is 100% organic and OEKO-TEX® certified. This certification is awarded by an independent international association active in 85 countries. The association conducts quality tests on the production process to ensure environmentally friendly practices and ensure that the cotton is 100% organic (grown without the use of genetically modified crops, pesticides, or other chemicals).
This is a huge advantage compared to many tampon and pad brands that use materials such as paper (from deforestation), non-organic cotton (from chemical pesticides and fertilizers), and toxic substances such as dioxins (harmful to small animals) and have high environmental costs to produce.
One of the main reasons women switch from pads and tampons is environmental concerns. Over the course of a lifetime, a woman produces approximately 500 pounds of waste, which ends up in landfills or nature, where it acts as a pollutant for decades (some sources estimate 300 to 500 years, depending on the material used).
Bloom sanitary shorts are reusable, have a long lifespan, and are made from cotton, so they have minimal environmental impact when disposed of.
Cost-effective and comfortable
Bloom Menstrual Panties can absorb up to 20ml of menstrual blood per use. This is comparable in capacity to the Lily Cup One and Lily Cup Compact, and is second only to the Ziggy Cup (the largest capacity menstrual cup on the market at 76ml).
This means it can hold the equivalent of 4 tampons or 2-4 regular pads. This is a huge savings compared to pads and tampons, especially since Bloom Panties are reusable and sold in packs of three.
They are also extremely comfortable to wear. The large capacity and design reduce the risk of leakage, and the ultra-soft organic cotton fabric is skin-friendly, seamless, and designed for a perfect fit. Available in a variety of sizes (click here for a complete size guide), you can find the best fit for your body.
Easy to use and maintain
Let’s be honest, there’s nothing more uncomfortable and irritating than glue and feathers on a pad. Many adhesives are irritating (pads are one of the intimate products that most often cause irritant vaginitis and vulvar dermatitis).
It’s also difficult to place the pads securely to prevent movement or leakage, and no matter how thin the pads are, the claim that you won’t “know you’re wearing them” is a marketing exaggeration.
Tampons and menstrual cups do not have this problem, and cups in particular are very comfortable, as they do not cause vaginal dryness, microlesions (due to absorption), or toxic shock syndrome. However, some women may feel uncomfortable due to symptoms such as vaginismus, or may not want to use it for personal reasons.
This is why Intimina’s Bloom menstrual panties are the best option. In addition to other advantages, it is easy to use and maintain. Before and after first use, hand wash or machine wash (on gentle cycle) at 104°F or below without bleach, harsh soaps, or fabric softeners (to maintain vaginal flora, as with any underwear). Allow to air dry (avoid tumble dryer heat to protect fabric) and store with underwear.
Numerous independent scientific studies like this one (drawn from a review of data from 43 previous studies and a survey of 3,319 women) have found that medical-grade silicone menstrual cups are more effective, hygienic, healthier, environmentally friendly and cost-effective menstrual products than pads and tampons.
However, if you don’t want or can’t use a cup, Bloom’s menstrual panties are a great alternative. They are biocompatible, environmentally friendly, comfortable, cost-effective, and most importantly healthy.
