This calculator helps you determine the right absorbency level for your needs. You'll input information about your typical flow (light, medium, heavy), and the calculator will recommend the corresponding absorbency level for period underwear (e.g., light, moderate, super). It translates traditional period product usage (tampons, pads) into an equivalent period underwear absorbency, making the switch seamless and stress-free.

Choosing the right absorbency is crucial for comfort and confidence during your period. Underestimating your needs can lead to leaks and anxiety, while overestimating might mean you're using a bulkier product than necessary. This calculator empowers you to make an informed decision, ensuring you have reliable protection without sacrificing comfort. It's a key step in transitioning to a more sustainable and comfortable period care routine.

The recommended absorbency level is a strong guideline for selecting your period underwear. For example, if the calculator suggests 'Super Absorbency,' you should look for products specifically designed for heavy flows. Remember that your flow can vary throughout your cycle. It's often a good idea to have a few pairs with different absorbency levels on hand—lighter ones for the beginning and end of your period, and more absorbent ones for your heaviest days. Think of this recommendation as your baseline for building a reliable period underwear wardrobe.

• If you're new to period underwear, try them out at home first to build confidence.
• For your first few cycles, you might want to use them as a backup with a tampon or cup on your heaviest days until you trust their performance.
• Pay attention to the fit. The underwear should be snug but not tight to prevent leaks.
• Rinsing them immediately after use makes washing much easier and helps prevent stains.
• Consider buying a multipack with various absorbency levels to cover your entire cycle from the start.
