Care guide
A few gentle habits keep every layer soft, absorbent and leakproof, so each pair lasts up to 100 washes, or 2 to 3 years.
Wash your new pair once before you wear it, to prepare the absorbent layers.
After wearing, rinse in cold water until the water runs clear. On heavier days, a short soak in cold water helps.
Hand wash, or machine wash in a laundry bag on a gentle cold cycle. We recommend Fabpad Panty Wash, our liquid detergent made for period underwear.
Hang it in the sun to dry, away from heaters and the dryer. Make sure the absorbent padding is completely dry before you wear or store it.
Please avoid

The Fabpad Affordable High Waist Period Panty is our budget-friendly high-rise style, made from breathable 100% cotton. It sits at your natural waist with smooth tummy coverage and a no-slip fit that stays in place through cramps, bloating and long days.
Cotton is soft and breathable, which is why many women with sensitive skin, and many who find synthetic fabrics too warm in the Indian summer, prefer it. If cotton is what you reach for in your underwear drawer, this will feel familiar from day one.
Wear it on heavy flow days, overnight, during recovery after delivery and for light urine leakage. The high waist rises above the bikini line, so it sits comfortably over a C-section scar. Change within 8 hours, depending on your flow.
Rinse in cold water until it runs clear. Hand wash, or machine wash in a laundry bag with mild detergent such as Fabpad Panty Wash.
Is a cotton period panty as absorbent as other styles?
Yes. The Affordable High Waist has the same 5-layer absorbent padding as our other adult styles, holding 80 to 100 ml, about 5 to 6 pads' worth, for up to 8 hours.
Why choose the affordable high waist period panty?
It is our best-value reusable period underwear, with a 100% cotton outer and high waist coverage, so it is an easy way to try period panties for the first time.
Can I use it after delivery or for urine leaks?
Yes. Adult styles also work for light urine leakage and for bleeding after delivery (postpartum).
How do I wash period panties?
Rinse in cold water until the water runs clear, then wash by hand or machine with Fabpad Panty Wash or a mild detergent. Do not use bleach, fabric softener or hot water, and dry in the sun.
How many period panties do I need?
Most people keep 3 to 5 pairs for one period, so a clean pair is always ready while the others dry.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. The Affordable High Waist is made to be worn on its own. You do not need a pad, menstrual cup or tampon. Its 5-layer absorbent core holds 80 to 100 ml of flow, and a leak-resistant barrier helps keep you and your clothes dry.
Orders placed before 2 PM, Monday to Saturday, are dispatched the same day. If you pay online, your order is shipped by air for quicker delivery. Cash on delivery (COD) orders are shipped by surface. Delivery takes 2 to 5 days, depending on whether your order is prepaid or COD. Track your order anytime on our order tracking page.
It comes in sizes S to 3XL. Measure your waist and hips and match them to the on this page. It should feel snug and comfortable at the waist and legs, as a close fit is what keeps the core in place and stops leaks.
Yes. Please contact our customer care team by phone, email or WhatsApp, and they will sort it out for you as per our company policy.
Smell usually comes from flow sitting too long, so timing matters. Change it within 8 hours, rinse it in cold water soon after you take it off, and dry it fully before wearing it again, and smell is rarely a concern. If a pair ever holds a smell, soak it in cold water with Fabpad Panty Wash for about 30 minutes before washing.
The Affordable High Waist is made from 100% cotton, while our regular High Waist uses cotton spandex. Both share the same 5-layer core, the same 80 to 100 ml absorbency and the same high, tummy-covering rise. Choose Eco if you love the feel of pure cotton against your skin.
Cotton is soft and breathable, which is why many women with sensitive skin, and many who find synthetic fabrics too warm in the Indian summer, prefer it. If cotton is what you reach for in your regular underwear drawer, the Affordable High Waist will feel familiar from the first wear.
Up to 8 hours, depending on your flow. Many women find 6 to 8 hours works well on regular days, with a quicker change on the heaviest day. For your first wear, try it at home so you understand how it handles your flow.
Yes. It sits at your natural waist with smooth tummy coverage and a secure fit that stays up through cramps, bloating and a full day of sitting, standing and moving. Nothing to adjust, nothing shifting out of place.
Yes. The high waist gives gentle tummy coverage during recovery after delivery and rises above the bikini line, so it does not sit on a C-section scar. It can be worn in place of maternity pads. Bleeding is heaviest in the first days after delivery, so change more often then and keep a few pairs in rotation.
Yes. The absorbent core handles light urine leakage as well as period flow, so you are covered when you sneeze, laugh, cough, lift something heavy or exercise. Many women wear it on non-period days for this reason. Rinse and wash it the same way you would after your period.
Yes. It is made for heavy days and long nights, with high coverage that stays put while you sleep. Put on a fresh pair at bedtime and change within 8 hours.
Rinse it in cold water until the water runs clear. Hand wash it, or machine wash it in a laundry bag on a gentle cycle. We recommend Fabpad Panty Wash, our liquid detergent made for period underwear and cloth pads. Do not use bleach, fabric softener or hot water. Dry it in the sun and do not tumble dry or iron the absorbent area. Cotton can take a little longer to dry, so make sure the core is completely dry before your next wear.
With proper care it lasts up to 100 washes, or 2 to 3 years, replacing hundreds of disposable pads over its life. Fabpad holds a Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) licence under IS 17514, the Indian Standard for reusable sanitary pads and period panties.
Yes, when you look after them. Rinse in cold water as soon as you take it off, wash with Fabpad Panty Wash or a mild detergent, and let it dry fully in the sun before you wear it again. Change it within 8 hours, sooner on your heaviest days, just as you would a pad. The skin layer draws flow away from you so you stay dry, and there is no plastic pad sitting against you. Skip bleach and fabric softener, as they damage the layers that keep you protected.
