It can be quite difficult to navigate through all the different menstrual products that exist. That is exactly why we have made this post to help you decide what products would work the best for you and your body. Will we give you our options and tell you why they might be your perfect match.

1. Tampons

   One of the best-known products to use while on your period is the tampon. However, they contain harmful chemicals that may disrupt hormonal balance. That's why we made our Flowless tampons FREE from toxic chemicals, and by doing this, we are providing a safer experience. In general, tampons are discreet and often comfortable for the user, and ideal for exercise and swimming. They are also available in different sizes and absorbency levels, which makes it easy to find a perfect fit for you. They are also easy to put in for most people and will not be seen by anyone other than yourself.  Tampons are best for someone who prefers a discreet solution, is active, frequently exercises, and those looking to prevent leaks during physical activity. However, there are also downsides to using the tampon, even though our flowless tampons are without harmful toxins and chemicals,s they contribute to significant waste. Since every tampon is thrown away after one use. However, our 100% natural cotton tampons are much better for the environment than those made of other materials. Tampons are not meant for use overnight as they may cause more irritation, and the risk of a condition called toxic shock syndrome. It's important to remember that not all products fit everyone. If you have a dry mucous membrane, the tampon may be painful when using it. However, it´s a product worth considering and offers both positive but also negative sides. By choosing Flowless tampons compared to other brands, you are choosing a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative without compromising convenience. 

   
   

2. Sanitary pads

   One of the most commonly used menstrual products is the pad. It´s an ideal solution for those seeking a solution that's simple and secure. Our pads are made from all-natural materials and are free from harmful chemicals. By doing this, we are reducing the risk of irritation and allergies for our users. The benefits of pads are many. They are easy to use and change since they don't require insertion. This makes them a comfortable choice for beginners or if you prefer external protection. Pads are also available in a lot of sizes and absorbency levels, and there are lots of options available. This makes it easier to choose an option that fits you and your everyday life.  Some of the more negative sides are that they are thrown away after one use, which contributes to more waste. Flowless pads, on the other hand, are made from sustainable and biodegradable materials, making them a better choice for sustainability. Pads may also feel bulky and uncomfortable, and there is potential for irritation. Compared to the tampon, there is no internal dryness caused by the pads. Pads are best for those who prefer external products and have sensitive skin. But also for those looking for a disposable, maintenance-free solution. Pads are a great alternative for overnight protection and are safe for all ages. By choosing Flowless pads, you get a safe, comfortable, and environmentally friendly menstrual solution that prioritizes both health and sustainability. 

   
   

3. Menstrual panties

   Flowless menstrual panties look just like regular underwear and can be used again and again, every time you have your period. They are just as comfortable as regular underwear and can be purchased in different sizes. The purpose of Flowless menstrual panties is to absorb and lock in moisture and odors from your period. After use, rinse the underwear in cold water, then wash it with the rest of your laundry at 40 degrees. Avoid using fabric often er and let it air dry. 

   Flowless menstrual panties are for anyone looking for a safe, comfortable, and sustainable solution for their period. Flowless menstrual panties are for: 

   • The eco-conscious: did you know that one pair of Flowless menstrual panties replaces approximately 100 pads and tampons, reducing waste and minimizing environmental impact 

   • Teenagers and first-time users: a simple and stress-free way to manage your period 

   • Irregular cycles: a reliable solution that always makes you ready, without unnecessary disposable products 

   • An active lifestyle: stay protected during a workout, a busy day, and travel 

   • Entra protection: excellent on its own or as a backup, especially overnight 

   The number of period underwear you need may vary from person to person. We recommend having as many pairs as the number of days your period lasts, so you don’t have to run the washing machine constantly. 

   
   

4. Menstrual cup

   The phenomenon of the menstrual cup is not a new invention. Did you know that the modern menstrual cup was invented in the 1930s? While some people may feel hesitant to try it, using a cup is easier than you might think! Made from soft, medical-grade silicone, the cup is inserted into the vagina to collect menstrual fluid, which can then be emptied into the toilet. Unlike tampons and pads, which generate waste every cycle, a menstrual cup is reusable and can last up to 10 years, making it an eco-friendly and cost-effective choice. When inserted, it can provide secure protection up to 12 hours. Its small size makes it perfect for people who don't like to carry a lot of stuff with them. It contains no harmful chemicals, fragrances, or bleaches, making it a healthier option for your body. If you’re looking for a comfortable, sustainable, and hassle-free period solution, a menstrual cup might be the perfect choice for you! 

   
   

5. Flowbox

   The Flowbox is a collection of all the period products we sell so that you get everything you need for the next period and can find out what products fit you best. Even though we try our best to explain what the different products we sell are and who they can fit, it is always best to try them for yourself and see. If you have only tried tampons and pads all your life, you may not know what you are missing out on, and the Flowbox can therefore be a game-changer. The Flowbox works as a subscription where you can pay and get the box monthly, every other month, or every three months. For safe purchases, you can use Klarna on all of our products!
