Primark has launched a new range of reusable period underwear – but the sanitary pants have sparked strong online debate.
The High Street retailer has a range of pants on sale which can be worn during a period without the need for sanitary products.
The clothing giant says the knickers, which come in a range of colours, are ‘the perfect replacement for single use period products’.
Period underwear is designed to be more eco-friendly, reducing or eradicating the need for non-recyclable items such a sanitary towels and tampons.
Primark’s underwear comes in two options; light to medium flow and medium to heavy flow. The retail giant says: “Our light to medium option will hold up to three regular tampons worth of liquid, around 18ml, while our medium to heavy option will hold up to four tampons worth of liquid, around 24ml.”
Other retailers such as Modibodi, M&S, Bodyform, Bamboo house also sell…
