Discover them in this article.
Healthy and biocompatible
Bloom menstrual panties are made from organic cotton approved by a hypoallergenic gynecologist. This material features ®Ruco-BAC HSA conc antibacterial technology that effectively absorbs vulva sweat and vaginal discharge, allowing the skin to breathe and minimizes bacterial growth and common vaginal infections.
Bloom menstrual panties are made without harmful chemicals and make them a safer (and toxin-free) alternative to pads and tampons. Certain materials used to manufacture some tampons and pads (such as bleach, resins, perfumes, binders) are toxic or harmful to our body 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 accreditation is awarded by an independent international association operated in 85 countries. This ensures environmentally friendly practices and conducts quality checks of the production process to ensure that cotton is 100% organic, grown without GMO, pesticides or other chemicals.
This is a major advantage over many tampon and pad brands whose manufacturing is high environmentally costly, and uses toxic substances such as paper (deforestation), non-organic cotton (chemical pesticides and fertilizers), and toxic substances such as dioxins (harmful to small animals).
One of the main reasons women switch from pads and tampons is environmental concerns. Over the course of their lives, women can produce around 500 pounds of waste, which can become landfills and natural and act as a contaminant for decades (some sources are estimated between 300 and 500 years, depending on the material used).
Bloom’s menstrual panties are reusable for a long life and when discarded, they are made of cotton, making the environmental impact minimal.
Cost-effective and comfortable
Bloom Menstrual Panties can absorb menstrual flow rates of up to 20 ml, equivalent to the capacity of Lily Cup 1 and Lily Cup Compact. It is second only to the Ziggy Cup (the largest menstrual cup on the market at 76 ml).
This means you can hold four tampons or the equivalent of two to four regular pads. This leads to significant savings compared to pads and tampons, especially as Bloom panties are reusable and sold in three packs.
They are also very comfortable. Their large capacity and design reduce the risk of leaks, and the ultra-soft organic cotton fabric is designed to feel gentle on the skin, have no seams and fit perfectly. There are a variety of sizes (click here to view the full size guide), and you can find the best guide for your body.
Easy to use and maintenance
Let’s face it. Nothing is more uncomfortable and irritating than the adhesive and wings on the pads. Many glues are irritating (pads are one of the intimate products that most often cause irritating vaginitis and vulva dermatitis).
It is also difficult to place the pads firmly to prevent movement and leakage. No matter how thin it is, the claim that “you don’t notice that you’re wearing it” is an exaggeration of marketing.
Tampons and menstrual cups don’t have this problem and can be extremely comfortable as they do not cause dry vaginal, micropenetration (caused by absorption), or toxic shock syndrome. However, some women prefer not to use them for personal reasons, either because of a condition like vaginosis.
This is why Intimina’s Bloom Menstrual Panties are the best alternative choice. In addition to other benefits, they are easy to use and maintain. Before using first, and with either bleach, delicate cycle), bleach, hard soap, or fabric softener (to retain the vaginal flora, like underwear), and with water below 104°F. Dry them (avoid the heat from the dryer to protect the fabric) and store in underwear.
Such numerous independent scientific studies (came from a review of 43 previous studies and 3,319 women’s research) reveal that medical-grade silicone menstrual cups are more effective, hygienic, healthy, 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 option. They are biocompatible, environmentally friendly, comfortable, cost-effective and most importantly healthy.
