I’ve been meaning to tell you about menstrual panties for ages, and here we are, FINALLY, with a review dedicated to them. To give you a brief history of my journey into the land of menstrual protection, you should know that, like many of us, I’ve been through all the stages. From the good old pad to tampons, not forgetting the cup, I’ve had the opportunity to experiment with a whole host of “solutions” to this monthly appointment.
To tell you the truth, I had previously tried a different brand, to which I have remained faithful until now. But after several years of loyal service, I needed to renew my stock, and it was only natural that I chose to try the Eve and Co adventure.
I’d already heard about this brand from Sandrea, a content creator on Youtube for over ten years and one of my sources of inspiration since 2014. So I took advantage of this summer’s sales to buy a small stock of six pairs of Maïa panties, to keep my mind light all week long.
What is Eve and Co?
- Creations that listen to consumers’ needs. Better absorption for all types of flow, and comfort to match.
- Every year, on average, we consume 45 billion items of sanitary protection, and it takes over 500 years for these products to degrade in nature. Eve and Co wanted to revolutionize the sanitary protection industry by favoring short production runs, with only three panty models to limit environmental impact.
- A simple composition based on GOTS-certified organic cotton to protect users’ health. According to the Ecocert Group, this certification guarantees :
- Environmentally-friendly production and transformation processes.
- Respect and improvement of working conditions.
- Promotion of the use of organic fibers.
- Prohibition of hazardous inputs such as toxic heavy metals, aromatic solvents, etc.
What do I think?
When I first used them, I was a bit worried that I wouldn’t feel comfortable. Indeed, this model was very low-cut and I was used to wearing much more covering shorty versions; I was also worried that the cut wouldn’t be effective enough to protect me from possible “leaks” day or night.
And yet, I’m past my third use this week and I have to admit I’m very pleased with the results! They hold up perfectly over time, are machine-washable and this little stock of six means I can rotate them throughout my cycle, without having to worry about whether I’ll end up with my bum in the air at the end of the run!
