POV: You’ve been planning your dream vacation for months, and a day before your trip, your period comes. Being on your cycle while traveling can be a huge pain between changing pads while on the go or running out of tampons. Fortunately, there is a solution — period panties.

What’s best is that they’re eco-friendly — all you have to do is wash them after use. The panties come in chic styles, so you don’t have to worry about feeling like you’re wearing a diaper.
