Which period underwear style is right for you?

Choosing the right period underwear can feel… confusing.

Bikini? Midi?
More coverage? Less coverage?
What actually feels best on your body?

If you’ve ever found yourself Googling “best period underwear Australia” or “what style of period undies should I choose”… you’re not alone 🤍

So let’s make it really simple.

First, what makes Hey Zomi different?

Before we get into styles, it’s worth saying this.

We didn’t just want to make another pair of period undies.

We designed ours because we were over:

Undies that felt bulky
Styles that only worked if you sized up
That “nappy” feeling you can’t ignore
Feels like you really are sitting in your blood all day
The gusset is too short at the front or too long at the back.

So we created period underwear that feel like your everyday favourites… with the perfect built in protection.

Soft, stretchy, and designed to sit on your body to be both flattering and comfy.

And we’re so proud they’ve already been picked up by Marie Claire, Body+Soul, and Pedestrian as a go-to in period care 🤍

Bikini Brief Period Underwear

Your go-to, everyday style.

Think:

✨ Lower rise
✨ Minimal coverage
✨ Easy, lightweight feel
✨ Fuller brief at the back

Perfect if you:

✔ Prefer a more classic underwear cut
✔ Want something that sits lower on your hips
✔ Love that barely there feeling

This is the pair you’ll reach for when you want comfort without thinking twice.

Midi Brief Period Underwear

A little more coverage, a little more support.

Think:

✨ Higher rise, just under your belly button
✨ More coverage through the waist and hips
✨ A secure, held feeling
✨ No digging in, flattering comfy waistband

Perfect if you:

✔ Like a higher waisted fit
✔ Can be worn lower for a boyleg fit (super cute)
✔ Want extra coverage during your period
✔ Prefer a bit more support overnight or for heavy flow days

This is your comfort pair for longer days, heavier flows, or when you just want that extra bit of security.

The test drive- seamless? invisible? sweat proof?

Yep, yep and yep!

Both styles are an invisible fit- perfect under tight active wear, so you don't have to worry about VPL (no Visible Panty Line).

Check out this quick video as evidence that these period undies are undetectable under tights and also they are so comfy to work out, go running, dance all night in.

These period undies are moisture wicking and breathable, so you feel dry and supported when your exercise. No bulky, wet discomfort.

So… which period underwear should I choose?

Honestly? There’s no wrong answer.

Some people love the freedom of a bikini brief.
Others feel more comfortable in a midi.
And a lot of our customers end up with both, depending on the day.

Pro tip: pair period underwear with a menstrual disc

If you’re trying a menstrual disc for the first time, pairing it with period underwear is a game changer.

✔ Extra peace of mind
✔ Less stress about leaks
✔ A really easy way to ease into something new

💖 This is also the best way to support teenagers trying a menstrual disc for the first time. Give them the support and options to feel confident and secure as they navigate internal period products like tampons, period cups or menstrual discs.
