    Know Your Cycle, Own Your Confidence

    How HerraWear's technology works, and how to care for your period wear so it lasts.

    The Technology

    How HerraWear Works

    Every piece uses a multi-layer design sewn into the gusset to keep you dry, protected, and confident.

    01

    Wicking Layer

    The layer closest to your skin actively draws moisture away, keeping you feeling dry throughout the day.

    • SILVADUR™ treated
    • Soft against skin
    02

    Absorbent Layer

    Locks in your flow, offering reliable absorption from light spotting through to heavier days.

    • Light to heavy flow
    • Odour-neutralising
    03

    Leak-Proof Barrier

    A waterproof outer layer provides ultimate leak security, so you can move through your day worry-free.

    • Fully leak-proof
    • Breathable, not plasticky

    Understanding Your Period

    Confidence starts with understanding your own body. A few basics every HerraWear wearer should know.

    • 🩸

      Know Your Flow

      Flow varies from person to person and cycle to cycle — choose the absorbency that matches your day.

    • 🚫

      Periods Aren't Taboo

      Open conversation about periods helps everyone feel less alone and more prepared.

    • 🧼

      Caring for Your HerraWear

      Rinse in cold water, then machine wash on a gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softener — it coats the wicking layer.

    • 🌱

      Sustainable Period Care

      One pair of HerraWear can replace hundreds of disposable pads or tampons over its lifetime.
