We are on holiday in France, not far from. La Rochelle and have a pool on holiday for the first time ever. Dd has just started her period for the first time, on our first full day here. Where could I go tomorrow to buy period swimwear and what do I need to ask for?

Many thanks to anyone who can help.

Monoprix does one, but it is quite expensive (89 euros).

Etam has these: https://www.etam.com/maillots-de-bain-taille-haute/culotte-bikini-taille-haute-menstruel-bas-de-maillot-653978005.html

Though it says there aren't many left.

Otherwise you could get her a 'culotte menstruel' from Chantelle and she can wear her swimming costume over the top (don't know if that would work?)

Both these shops have branches in La Rochelle. I hope you find a solution and have a great holiday!

Actually you could also try at Galerie Lafayette - it's a department store so you can check lots of different brands

Would Amazon EU deliver?

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz · 20/08/2023 14:18

Could also try the shop Undiz which, thinking about it, is more targeted at the young folk than Chantelle etc is

If you order on Amazon.fR you may be able to get delivery tomorrow?

RedWelliesAreBest · 20/08/2023 19:24

I can't see anything on amazon.fr for delivery before Friday but we are going to try all the suggestions in La Rochelle tomorrow. Thank you very much for the info on where to look. We are fortunate that we can afford the monoprix 89 euro one if necessary

All sorted and thank you especially to Zzzzzzzzzz for the chantelle suggestion and the culottes menstrual wording. We got some for 8 euros in the sale and she is happily in the pool with her swimsuit over the top
