femtis period panties are briefs that absorb your menstrual blood. They either replace disposable period products or are worn in addition to tampons, sanitary napkins or menstrual cups. All panties are equipped with a multi-layered protection area, which absorbs the blood and thus optimally protects you during menstruation.
femtis panties are elastic and soft and feel like your favorite underwear. At the crotch, cotton is always used as the layer next to the skin. In addition the lace waistband of the ALWA and KARI panties are super soft.
A menstruating person consumes about 10,000 - 17,000 tampons or pads in the life, depending on individual needs. Reusable period underwear from femtis reduces the consumption of disposable hygiene products and is thus a good alternative or supplement. femtis period panties thus protect the environment and lets you save money at the same time.
The absorbency of femtis period panties varies depending on the model: from 1 tampon (5 ml) to 3 tampons (15 ml) worth. Select the femtis model according to the desired absorbency. We recommend trying the panties for the first time at home to see how they work for your flow.
Of course, you can use femtis panties in combination with tampons, pads, etc. or menstrual cups, but femtis pariod panties offer reliable protection even without disposable period products.

No, we do not use merino wool for three reasons: 1. Merino sheep wear more wool due to the unnatural breeding. These sheep suffer from heat problems and diseases, even if they are sheared 'mulesing free'. 2. Merino wool is very sensitive (gentle cycle with wool detergent recommended), therefore, for hygienic reasons, not very suitable for period underwear. 3. Merino wool magically attracts clothes moths, holes are the result.
No, we do not use modal fibers. Modal is a synthetically produced synthetic fiber that is often advertised as sustainable. But Modal or MicroModal has a decisive disadvantage: to produce an elastic material from beech wood, manufacturers use a whole range of chemicals, a process that not only uses chemicals but also a lot of energy and water.
