How does period swimwear work?
Theperiod swimwear is a durable hygienic protection suitable for aquatic environments. This innovation allows women to swim with complete peace of mind during their period.
These swimsuits are designed with special technologies that allow absorbing and containing menstrual flow both in and out of the water.
But how exactly do menstrual swimsuits work? Let’s look at it in more detail.
The technology of period swimwear: 4-layer protection
The secret of the effectiveness of period swimwear lies in its technology composed of 4 protective layers. Each of these layers has a specific role to guarantee zero leaks all day long.
-
Soft and delicate veil: The Sorio menstrual swimsuits feature a hypoallergenic and antibacterial veil in contact with your skin.
This breathable fabric allows blood to flow to the lower layers while offering you a dry feeling. This first layer is soft and pleasant to maximize your comfort. -
Absorbent layer: The second layer composing the menstrual swimsuits is made of natural bamboo fiber.
This layer allows to capture and channel the blood inside the swimsuit. Thus, your flow is retained and you can move freely in and out of the water without fear of leaks. -
Waterproof outer layer: To ensure you leak-free swims, the menstrual swimsuits include a waterproof layer.
This layer is very important because thanks to it, the blood does not come into contact with the water. Therefore, your swimsuit does not absorb water, only blood. -
Protective fabric: All Sorio menstrual swimsuits have a chlorine and UV protective veil.
This technology allows you to enjoy your period swimwear for longer. It will remain like new for several years.
In addition to their innovative technology, we wanted to create products healthy for your body, which is why Sorio menstrual swimsuits are OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified.

But it’s not just this technology that will revolutionize your periods, it’s especially their ease of use.
Forget your period with the simplicity of menstrual swimsuits
Using a tampon to go swimming often means discomfort, awkwardness, and a string sticking out of the swimsuit.
This hygienic solution has allowed women to enjoy water activities without deprivation, but it has its limits. When you wear a tampon, you are always on guard wondering if the string is sticking out or if you need to change it. Not to mention the discomfort if it is badly positioned or if it soaks up water, nor the risk of toxic shock.
Ultimately, you don’t fully enjoy this relaxing moment by the water. However, menstrual swimsuits make you completely forget your period because they are so easy to use.
How to use period swimwear?
With the period swimwear, no need to discreetly change in the restroom. You just have to wearing period swimwear as you would with regular Swimwear.
If you go to the beach, you can wear it under your clothes, swim, sunbathe, then put your clothes back on and rinse it when you get home.
If you go to the pool, bring a waterproof pouch to put your period swimwear on the inside, once your swimming session is over. You can keep it in your bag until you get home without worrying about it dripping.
The menstrual swimsuits are very easy to use, so much so that you almost forget your period.
How to care for it?
The menstrual swimsuits are reusable and last several years if taken care of. But don’t worry, you don’t have to wash them by hand.
After use:
- Rinse your period swimwear with cold water
- Put it in the machine at 30°
- Let it dry
That’s it! They are as easy to use as to care for.
And before using it for the first time, it is recommended to machine wash it to activate the absorbent fibers at the heart of your period swimwear.
In summary, menstrual swimsuits are just as easy to use and care for as menstrual panties. The principle is similar, except they offer extra protection in the water, allowing you to enjoy swimming during your period with complete peace of mind.
