NO Leaks, NO Diaper Feel, NO Questionable Additives

1. Twelve hours of leakage protection thanks to Safelayer Technology

The biggest fear when switching to period underwear? 

 

That something might leak.

 

9 out of 10 women know this feeling: panic checking the bedsheets in the morning, or sleeping with a towel "just in case" at night.

 

This is where most drugstore panties fail – they often only last a few hours on heavy days. 

 

my•mense SafeLayer™ technology instantly draws fluid inwards, and the SafeSide™ barrier prevents side leakage. On the night models, the protective layer extends from front to back.
 

The result: Up to 12 hours of 100% leak protection, even on your heaviest days. 

2. Only 1-2 mm thicker than regular underwear

The problem with many period panties from drugstores: 

 

They feel like XXL diapers. They are thick, uncomfortable and show through clothing.


my•mense, however, uses SafeLayer™ technology with special honeycomb technology:


This immediately draws the liquid inwards and traps it there. Despite this, it is only 1-2 mm thicker than your normal underwear, while offering space for as much liquid as 5 regular tampons.

3. Customers report: "Finally, no more damp feeling"

Drugstore period panties often feel clammy and wet after a short time.

 

This doesn't happen with my•mense: The SafeDry™ honeycomb technology draws moisture away from the surface in a flash and securely locks it inside. The result – a dry, fresh feeling all day long, without that unpleasant dampness. My patients tell me this again and again.

4. Keine Chemie, keine Schadstoffe - 100% sicher für deine intimste Zone 

This is where many products become unpleasant:

Traditional drugstore panties and disposable products sometimes rely on chemical biocides like silver chloride to inhibit odors.

my•mense deliberately takes a different approach and uses pure physics for odor control – completely without these additives:

✅ Biocide & PFAS-free

✅ Vegan

✅ OEKO-TEX certified

This ensures that what lies directly on the most sensitive skin for hours remains free of questionable additives.

5. Sicher unterwegs wechseln, ohne dich auszuziehen 

The most common question I get as a cycle consultant: "How am I supposed to change my period underwear when I'm out and about?" 
 

The answer: The Ivy model from my•mense.
 

Ivy has clever fastenings on both sides. You can change the period underwear as easily as a pad without even having to take off your shoes.
 

Here's how it works:

 

1️⃣ Open the side fastenings
2️⃣ Place the used underwear into the odor- and waterproof wet bag
3️⃣ Fasten the new underwear at the sides
4️⃣ Done - in under 30 seconds

Noch Fragen?

Wie viele Pantys brauche ich?

I recommend 4–5 pieces for a full cycle. This way, you always have fresh panties while the others are in the wash.

Was, wenn meine Größe nicht passt?

No problem – free exchange.

Sind die Pantys wirklich geruchsfrei?

Ja. Die SafeLayer™️ Technologie bindet Gerüche durch Physik, nicht durch Chemie. Viele Kundinnen sind überrascht, wie neutral alles bleibt.
