After the panties, make way for the menstrual tanga! Ecological, practical and comfortable, menstrual panties are attracting more and more women. But not everyone likes its very covering shape. That’s good, the Malucette brand is launching a menstrual tanga!
The menstrual thong, have you thought about it? Like the famous panties, it ensures perfect absorption of the menstrual flow, real support and great comfort while being sexier. No more leaks, even with heavy flow. Enough to vary the pleasures! Indeed, the tanga or even the thong will sometimes adapt better than a panty depending on the clothes chosen.
Alternatives to disposable hygienic protections, the menstrual panties and thongs are attractive for their economic side. Every month, women spend no less than five euros for a package of sanitary napkins or tampons. A real fortune when you bring it back for the year! Today’s period has become a luxury, and women are simply tired of spending huge sums of money on basic necessities. The cool thing with period panties or thongs? It is a reusable protection that allows several uses and accompanies you throughout your menstrual cycle.

Another point not to be overlooked: the ecological aspect. In fact, not only are tampons and sanitary napkins very polluting, but these products also contain toxic substances which can be dangerous for health. Menstrual lingerie is generally made from organic fabrics labeled GOTS and OEKO-TEX, which guarantee responsible manufacturing and attest to the absence of substances harmful to the environment and humans. It is a real protection, healthy and pleasant to wear.
Today, period panties available on the market are often unattractive, although brands tend to make period protection more attractive. Very covering, they evoke “the big panties of grandmother”, and do not really allow the women to feel beautiful and attractive. To address this problem, the brand Briefcase imagined a menstrual thong. A great way to make menstrual lingerie more up-to-date and sexy.
The menstrual tanga supports women during their period
Like the menstrual panties, the menstrual tanga “offers precious freedom to women, who no longer need to find a toilet to change every two hours, to always have tampons and pads in advance, or to worry about having the trace of the towel on buttocks», Says Willo Marchais, founder of Briefcase. On the washing side, this tanga can be worn from morning to evening, and is simply machine washed at 30 ° after rinsing with clear water. Lightweight and ultra-secure, the tanga has been designed to provide maximum flow impregnation and a zero humidity effect. It is also anti-odor and antibacterial: it is composed of several layers of organic cotton draining, a 100% waterproof membrane, and a layer of bamboo fiber. In addition to offering optimal comfort, the tanga guarantees protection for all flows. Leaks will be a bad memory with this type of menstrual protection.
Willo Marchais and his partner, product designer Robin Françoise, have opted for an ethical and eco-responsible production model. Tangas are all made in France, in Troyes, the textile capital, and therefore help to perpetuate French craftsmanship and create jobs. In addition, the choice of local production of this menstrual protection reduces pollution linked to transport.
The little extra? There are sizes XS to XXL to suit all body types. In addition, the brand offers a matching bra from size XS to size XL. This tanga is also available in two types of flow: medium and abundant ensuring a perfect impregnation and greater serenity during the menstrual period. Economical, it has a lifespan of 4 to 7 years.

Why choose a thong rather than panties?
The tanga is the perfect compromise between the panties and the thong. The panties are very comfortable but they are also very covering, especially when it comes to menstrual lingerie. For its part, the thong is the height of sexy. The problem ? It is sometimes less comfortable to wear and moves easily, which is not always reliable, especially with an abundant flow. A little wider at the level of its cut, the menstrual tanga offers optimal protection and well-being but remains very attractive because it nicely reveals the buttocks.
In addition, the tanga is initially a piece used by dancers to be invisible under clothing. If you want to wear a piece close to the body, the menstrual tanga will be your best friend because no seams will be visible.
Like panties, a menstrual tanga model is economical because it is machine washable and reused for several years. Usually in organic cotton and certified OEKO-TEX, it is also very comfortable to wear and avoids the use of disposable tampons or sanitary napkins which may contain chemicals and harmful.
How to choose your menstrual tanga?
It is important to check certain criteria to find the tanga that suits you and thus avoid leaks and ensure optimal reliability and well-being.
- The composition of the tanga: We prefer brands certified Oeko-Tex standard 100 (without chemicals or nanoparticles) which use organic materials, such as organic cotton (GOTS). The country of origin of the fabrics is also important.
- The type of flow: for no risk of leakage and good use, opt for a panty that matches your flow, brands generally offer tanga models suitable for light, medium or heavy flows. It is the absorption zone that will be different. It is possible to choose different type of flow since it changes during the menstrual period. This will also determine the absorbency of the tanga to prevent the feeling of wetness.
- The size : brands usually advise on their site whether it is better to choose your usual size or a size larger or smaller. Some brands offer a wide range of sizes, others a little less.
- The price and delivery: a menstrual tanga cost around thirty euros and at that price, they are often very efficient. If the cost is not necessarily a guarantee of quality, be careful to favor reliable menstrual protection made from healthy tissues. In addition, the menstrual tanga is machine washable and therefore reusable, which is actually much more economical than disposable tampons or sanitary napkins. In addition to the price, also pay attention to the delivery costs which can sometimes be high.
- Opinions of other users: people who have used the tanga you want can better inform you about its reliability in terms of flow, its support or its comfort. These opinions are therefore very valuable to consult before purchasing.
