Made with a moisture-wicking top layer, an ultra-absorbent middle layer and a moisture-repelling outer layer, they feel just like regular underwear, and can keep you feeling dry and comfortable all day. All kinds of brand are getting on the bandwagon; here’s where you can buy period underwear in Hong Kong.
Featured: Culottee
This Hong Kong-based, French-founded period underwear brand was created in order to provide an eco-friendly period product for women in Asia. After polling 150 women living in Hong Kong, Culottee came up with four styles of period underwear, from a shorty shape to a more feminine brief with lace detailing. The quick-drying fabric is Oeko-tex100 certified and are made with zero harmful chemicals. They are suitable for girls and women and can support you from your first period right up until menopause. Each pair will last around three years, making it a safer option for your body and the planet. Price range from $246 to 290, depending on how many pairs you buy.
