Period care is personal. What works for your friend might not work for you, and that's normal.

Whether you're open to insertables or prefer underwear, dealing with light days or heavy flow, there's a reusable option built for you.

Not sure where to start? Here's a quick side-by-side, followed by the details on each.

Best if you:

• Want a no-insertion, no-fuss option
• Are squeamish about blood or new to reusables
• Get cramps that make insertion uncomfortable
• Are switching from disposable pads

How it works: Works just like regular underwear, but the absorbent gusset locks in moisture for up to 12 hours. Rinse, machine wash, and they're ready to go again.

Worth knowing: You'll want a few pairs in rotation since they need time to dry between wears, and on heavier days you may need a backup or a more absorbent option for long stretches away from home.

Best if you:

• Loved tampons for the freedom but want a sustainable swap
• Live an active life - swimming, running, working out
• Don't mind a hands-on approach
• Want something that lasts up to 10 years

How it works: A soft, medical-grade silicone cup that collects (rather than absorbs) period blood. Fold, insert and it creates a gentle seal for up to 12 hours. Empty, rinse, reinsert.

Worth knowing: There's a learning curve. Most people need 1-3 cycles to feel confident, but once it clicks, it's second nature.

Best if you:

• Have a heavy flow and need maximum capacity
• Want mess-free period sex
• Use an IUD
• Don't mind a slightly steeper learning curve

How it works: A flexible silicone disc that sits behind your pubic bone. No suction, no pressure on the vaginal walls. Collects up to 50ml so it's built for heavier days and overnight wear.

Worth knowing: The angle takes a bit of practice - give it 2-3 cycles.

You can always mix and match. Many people use different products for different days. And with our money back guarantee, trying something new is risk-free.
