Innovative, leak-proof period underwear designs are quickly becoming staples for people who menstruate and Reemi is introducing the next generation of products in this category with a self-disinfecting smart fiber. The brand chose CottonX as the basis for its period underwear, a fiber that fuses 100% natural cotton with copper oxide, meaning that it's not only incredibly gentle on skin but also useful for reducing the risk of infections. Notably, CottonX is created with materials that are environmentally friendly and biodegradable.
The underwear design is capable of holding up to two regular tampons worth of blood and boasts a three-layer design. In between the innermost CottonX layer and the outer layer made with environmentally responsible Lenzing modal, there's a leak-proof layer that provides lightweight and breathable protection.
