Lunapanties

This is an abridged version of the main website www.lunapads.com

Lunapanties are a wonderful hybrid of underwear and Lunapads that have a fleece gusset panel permanently sewn in, making them an all-in-one replacement for disposable Pads and Pantyliners.

Lunapanties make great everyday underwear, and can also be used for light to average flow. The new Lunapanties are now available in four great styles: Brief, Bikini and Hipster styles include a Maxi or Long Liner Insert to adjust absorbency. The Thong does not come with a Liner.

 Made from 95% Organic Cotton and 5% Lycra for a smooth, snug fit. 100% organic cotton panty gusset panel made of 1 layer of breathable nylon and 1 layer of 100% cotton fleece. Bands hold Luna Liners, enabling you to adjust absorbency and easily freshen the pad throughout the day as needed. The Liner Insert (not Thong) is made from 2 layers of 100% organic cotton fleece.  Available in Black and Magenta.

Everyday, Light-Average Flow. Sizes include XS, S, M, L, XL.

Who says you can't wear a thong on your period (and feel sassy and comfortable at the same time)? Our Thongs are ideal for those looking to eliminate those pesky panty lines, but still want the comfort and extra protection of a period panty. Thong Lunapanties are suitable for daily needs, very light flow. Thong Lunapanties are not designed to accommodate additional Liners. 

Lunapanties will last approximately as long (per use) as a disposable pantyliner. Additional mindfulness may be advisable, however, as Lunapanties are made with natural, more porous fibers and do not contain added chemicals or absorbing agents.

Changing your Liner before soaking through is the key to staying comfortable and dry throughout the day.

Frequently asked questions

What are Lunapanties?
Lunapanties are our very own all-in-one padded period panties. Lunapanties are organic cotton underwear with a pad sewn permanently into the gusset, making them an “all-in-one” replacement for disposable pads and pantyliners. 

Lunapanties are actually one of the original Lunapads designs from 1993! Like Lunapads, Lunapanties are made  in Vancouver, Canada . 

All the panties in both colors are made from 100% organic cotton jersey, but the fleece panel in black Lunapanties is made with regular cotton due to it not being available in organic. The fleece panel in cream Lunapanties is 100% organic cotton.

How are Lunapanties different from disposable pads and pantyliners?

How are Lunapanties different from Lunapads?
Rather than being used in conjunction with your own underwear, Lunapanties have a fleece liner that works like a pad, sewn permanently into the underwear – it's all in one.

Why would I wear Lunapanties instead of regular underwear?
Lunapanties are essentially highly functional underwear. Women are leaky, let's face it! Use them for: absorbing daily discharge backup protection for a menstrual cup, light incontinence or menstrual flow on days when you're sure that your period is going to start, but hasn't yet we all have a collection of “period panties” stashed away for when we need them - Lunapanties are simply a more luxurious and functional version of the same thing.

How do I clean Lunapanties?
Lunapanties can be washed by hand or machine in any temperature with your regular detergent. Pre-soaking or rinsing in cold water prior to washing is recommended, but not always necessary, particularly if they are not heavily saturated. Please note that if Lunapanties are being soaked, soaking water must be changed daily.

We recommend natural cleaning products. Heavy stains may also benefit from occasional machine wash and dry in hot settings or air drying in direct sunlight.

Please avoid the use of chlorine bleach or fabric softeners to clean Lunapanties, as this will decrease the performance of the products and is harmful to the environment. Lunapanties will shrink slightly if you put them in a hot dryer.

How long can I wear them for?
Original Lunapanties are designed for very light menstrual flow or daily discharge only, and will not be as effective as Deluxe Lunapanties or Lunapads for heavier menstrual flow. Providing that the flow or discharge is very light, you could easily wear them all day. 

As with regular underwear, you should not wear them for longer than one day without switching to a fresh pair. Lunapads will also fit over your Lunapanties, for heavy flow coverage. 

With Deluxe Lunapanties, the nylon lining and removable liner feature mean that you can wear them for longer, when your flow is heavier, or even for incontinence. As with Lunapads, being sure to change liners frequently is the best way to avoid leaks.

Will Lunapanties leak?
As with Lunapads, you need to choose the right product (i.e. do not wear Regular Lunapanties on their own for heavy flow) and change liners frequently to prevent leaks.

I'm pregnant. Why are Lunapanties better than regular underwear for me?
Lunapanties are great during pregnancy. When you're pregnant, you leak quite a bit of discharge all the time, making Luna panties perfect for every day use. Once the baby comes, Lunapanties also come in handy for light post-partum bleeding, and are much softer and less irritating to wear than disposable pads.

Can I wear Lunapanties for incontinence?
We all get a little leaky at some point, let's face it! Many customers have found Deluxe Lunapanties to be a comfortable, economical and discreet solution for light or stress incontinence. Deluxe Lunapanties' nylon lining and removable lining feature provide extra protection and security, but should not be relied upon exclusively for chronic conditions.

How do I know what size to choose?
Please view our Size Chart to help you decide what size will work best for you. 

New Lunapanties are 95% organic cotton and 55 Lycra and will shrink slightly in the washing process, so if you're in between two sizes, please choose the larger one.
