Choice Begins With Good Information

Period underwear is one of the product categories discussed through WEEA’s partnership pathways. Product selection begins with user preferences and the information supplied by the relevant manufacturer.

Organizations can discuss the people they serve, practical needs, programme arrangements and the product details to review before selecting items.

Selecting a Product

Fit and Sizing

Ask for the manufacturer’s sizing chart and fit guidance for the specific product.

Materials and Use

Review the manufacturer’s material, absorbency and appropriate-use information for the selected item.

Care and Practical Arrangements

Consider how the product’s washing, drying and storage instructions fit users’ circumstances.

Washing, Drying and Care

Follow the care label and instructions that accompany the specific product. Product-use education can help users understand those instructions and make informed choices.
