Swim confidently with leak-proof period swimwear
Periods Don’t Have to Stop Your Swim Days. You’re excited for a pool party or beach day, but then you realize your period has arrived. Frustrating, right? That’s where period swimwear comes in. With the right swimsuit, you can enjoy the water without worrying about leaks or discomfort.
At Shanhao Undies, we collaborate with our trusted design team to create swimwear that looks and feels like your favorite bikini or one-piece, but is smarter. Let’s break down how it works and how to choose the best one for you.
What Exactly Is Period Swimwear?
Period swimwear looks just like a regular swimsuit, but it’s made with a discreet, absorbent gusset that holds menstrual fluid and keeps water out.
The Three-Layer Protection System
Top layer: Soft, moisture-wicking fabric to keep you dry.
Middle layer: Absorbent core that locks in flow and controls odour.
Bottom layer: A waterproof barrier to stop leaks and block pool or ocean water.
Absorbency Levels You Should Know
Most menstrual swimwear is measured by tampon equivalence:
Light flow: 1 tampon (5–10 ml)
Moderate flow: 2 tampons (10–15 ml)
Heavy flow: 3+ tampons (15 ml+)
Pro tip: Always choose one level higher than your usual flow if you plan to swim for hours or do water sports.
Different Styles for Every Body
One-Piece: Best for complete coverage and active swimming.
High-Waist Bikini Bottoms: Extra security with a stylish look.
Regular Bikini Bottoms: Perfect for light days or shorter swims.
Swim Shorts: Sporty, comfy, and great for activities like volleyball or snorkelling.
Specialised Options: Plus-size, teen-friendly, or competitive cuts for athletes.
Caring for Your Period Swimwear
Rinse in cold water right after swimming.
Wash gently by hand or on a delicate machine cycle.
Avoid bleach, softeners, or wringing.
Air-dry flat or hang in the shade.
