What brand for teen period pants?

3 replies

My youngest DD is getting to that age, but she's a slight little thing so will need teen period pants rather than small adult ones.

Are there any decent products out there from a brand that is willing to acknowledge that periods are transphobically sex based?

Also researching this atm. there was this thread last year that was interesting.

no's for me (so far) are: Modibodi, primark, cheeky wipes, wuka and Hey Girls.

Sisters Republic and Fluxies seem to be the best in terms of less woo. They barely mention the word women on their websites which is probably to avoid the hassle firms get from using the word. Fluxies used the tern cis-men on their instagram but that could be a repost from elsewhere, I havent chcked Sisters Republic yet. I'm still digging as have only been looking on breaks today while working.

the presence of pfas in the pants is concerning. I see Fluxies have no pfas.

I’m needing to buy some period pants for my daughter. Can someone remind me which brands are aware women and girls have periods and which to avoid?

Female Engineering from Lindex seems lighter on the woo, they say "female body" and everything!
Modibodi's thing about trans women periods really shocked me.

I don't know of a sensible period pants manufacturer, but the one-stop period product retailer Luxury Moon is owned by a GC woman. So you'll be supporting someone sensible!
