9 Nontoxic Period Panties That Are PFAS-Free

Size Range | XS–6X
Price Range | $9–$34

The Period Company is making underwear that is meant to not only eliminate the amount of toxins exposed to your body during your period (the FDA has over 400 defect warnings about tampons alone!), but also the waste produced by a single month’s worth of period products. Made from soft, comfy organic cotton and four-layer towel absorbancy with the capacity for up to nine tampons worth of liquid, these are undies that will keep you feelings dry, safe, and secure for years. The brand is third-party tested by Intertek to assure the undies are organic and toxic free (see what they have to say about PFAS!)
