What makes periods harder with sensory sensitivity?

A pad that rustles, shifts and sits against the skin all day is a great deal to ignore. Add the smell, the adhesive and a public toilet cubicle, and a school day can become unmanageable.

Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show women and girls are now the fastest-growing group receiving an autism diagnosis, and much of that happens after puberty has already started. Managing a period also asks for timing, planning and noticing bodily signals, which is the same interoceptive work that is often unreliable.

These items are worn like ordinary underwear or bathers: two styles of leak-proof menstrual briefs, including a six pack, plus matching swimwear for pools and beaches. Some of our customers buy enough pairs to get through a whole cycle without a mid-day change at school.

Getting your parcel anywhere in Australia is free and tracked, whatever you spend, and GST is in the price already. Underwear and swimwear are hygiene goods, so a change-of-mind return inside the seven days only works while the item is unworn and still sealed; please check the refund policy before ordering. Faulty items are covered regardless, and the return postage is ours.
