FAQs
Which styles are the best for Teens?
We suggest going for low-rise, cheeky styles like Sleek, Bikini and Cheekini. Most teens are comfortable in these styles as they are familiar with these styles already. If your teen prefers hipster or a boy leg style briefs we suggest our full coverage styles like Hipster and Classic.
Teen favourites include familiar low-rise styles like Shorts, Sleek, Bikini and Cheekini.

How many pairs of underwear is required for a full cycle?
A pack of 6 undies will keep them covered for a full cycle of 5 day, but requires laundry so they have fresh pairs ready again for the next few days. A pack of 8 undies will require little washing between the cycles. We suggest buying in packs if they are new to period underwear.
What’s the wash routine?
Give them a quick rinse and pop them into a machine wash. Do not use a tumble dryer as it weakens the durability. Here are detailed care hacks for Vitals.
How to change during activities?
Change anywhere with our Fresh n Dry bag
We have designed two bags that make period routine easier at any instance. Our Fresh n Dry bag supports changing used undies anywhere. It is built in with separate odour-proof pouches to store used and fresh undies anywhere.
Travel friendly wash bag to do laundry anywhere!
We also designed a Portable Load washer to support washing undies during camping, hiking or anywhere else. Our washer bag doesn’t need electricity or excess water. Just Soak-Shake-Squeeze after adding used undies into the bag with some water and soap. Repeat the cycle with fresh water and dry!
