The menstrual sports panty, your ally during your sessions

Working out during your period can be a real challenge, especially if you're worried about leaks or feel uncomfortable. At Elia, we've designed menstrual sports knickers specially adapted to your most intense sessions, whether it's a crossfit WOD or a body hit session. With our menstrual briefs, you can move with complete peace of mind!

Our models, such as the Sixtine menstrual shorty, are ideal for medium to heavy flows. Their full-coverage cut ensures optimum support throughout your movements, whether you're in the middle of stretching or yoga postures. What's more, these shorts, available in sizes up to 6XL, adapt to all body shapes, for made-to-measure comfort, whatever your size.

Comfort and support even during menstruation

Our sport menstrual briefs offer perfect support thanks to our elastic bands that stay firmly in place, even during your most improbable movements. This support is essential to avoid discomfort, especially during activities requiring a wide range of movement, such as the gym. Their slightly sheathing design also helps support the lower abdomen, often sensitive during menstruation. So you can concentrate on your training, without worrying about your protection.

And because at Elia we want to offer you the very best in comfort andefficiency, all our menstrual pants are made in France with Oeko-Tex certified fabrics, guaranteeing the absence of toxic products for your skin.

High-performance materials for optimum protection

Our sport menstrual briefs are made from soft, breathable organic cotton. This cotton allows menstrual flow to be effectively absorbed, while avoiding irritation or unpleasant sensations of dampness during your sessions. We've selected the best materials to guarantee effective, long-lasting absorption. Whether your flow is moderate or heavy, our panties provide reliable protection, even during your most intense workouts.

The protection provided by our sport menstrual underwear absorbs the equivalent of several tampons, while remaining discreet under your clothes. They're designed to hug your figure and remain invisible, even under tight-fitting sports leggings!

Why choose menstrual underwear for sport?

The main advantage of a menstrual sports panty is that it frees you from the constraints of conventional sanitary protection, such as tampons or pads, which are often uncomfortable during sport. Our panties are designed to follow your movements without interfering with your sporting activities. Thanks to optimal absorption, you can stay active longer, without having to worry about changing protection in the middle of your session.

Our sports briefs adapt to all types of flow. Whether you have a medium or heavy flow, you'll find the model that's right for you. For lighter flows, our knickers are just as effective, giving you comfort and peace of mind.

Our recommendations for each sport

At Elia, we understand that each sport requires specific movements, and it's essential to adapt your menstrual protection accordingly. For sports requiring prolonged sitting, such as cycling or horse riding, we recommend our Louison menstrual cyclist, as its absorbent zone runs well down the thighs, providing reinforced protection and optimum comfort while avoiding chafing. For soft, flexible sports, such as gymnastics or yoga, our Sixtine menstrual shorty is perfect, thanks to its thigh-high elastic bands, which contain the flow in all positions.

For calmer sports, such as meditation or tai chi, we recommend the Armande shorty, which is super-comfortable and non-restrictive, guaranteeing maximum well-being. For high-impact sports such as running or tennis, depending on your flow, Louison or Sixtine are the perfect choice. If you prefer indoor sports, like boxing or weight training, the Louison menstrual cyclist is ideal. You can even wear them on their own, like shorts, with no pants on top for total freedom of movement and without feeling too hot. Finally, for water sports, our menstrual swimwear offer excellent protection, and depending on the intensity of your flow, they can be combined with internal protection, such as a tampon or cup, for even greater safety.

A model for every preference

Our menstrual sports pants come in a range of shapes to suit your needs and preferences. You can opt for fuller coverage models, such as the shorty or the Louison menstrual cyclist, perfect for intense activities requiring maximum freedom of movement and reinforced protection. If you prefer a lighter, more discreet model, we also offer briefs that are more low-cut but just as comfortable for medium flows.

And, of course, our range doesn't stop at menstrual training pants. You can also discover our other forms of menstrual briefs, adapted to different needs:

The environmental impact of our menstrual sports pants

As well as providing effective protection during your sports sessions, our menstrual sport pants also help to reduce waste. No more disposable tampons and pads! By opting for our reusable panties, you're making an ecological choice that preserves our planet. And because we care about the impact of our products, all our panties are made from organic cotton, Oeko-Tex certified, and produced in France under environmentally-friendly conditions.

Our menstrual sports briefs are the ideal ally for continuing your physical activities without your period leaving you on the sidelines!

Sport menstrual briefs FAQ

Which panties to choose for sports?

At Elia, we recommend our sport menstrual pants, specially designed to adapt to your movements and meet the demands of sporting activities. They offer optimum support thanks to their close-fitting cut, while guaranteeing effective absorption for a trouble-free period. Whether you practice high-impact sports like running or boxing, or gentler disciplines like yoga or pilates, our menstrual sports pants are there to support you. They allow you to move freely while feeling protected against leaks, even when you're flowing heavily. For sports like crossfit or horse riding, where freedom of movement is essential, our models like the Louison menstrual cyclist are particularly recommended.

What underwear to wear under sports leggings?

Under sports leggings, it's crucial to have an undergarment that combines discretion and comfort. Our sport menstrual briefs are ideal for this purpose: their ergonomic cut adapts perfectly to your body shape, and their seamless design ensures that they won't stand out under tight-fitting garments like leggings. What's more, they offer great freedom of movement while guaranteeing protection against leaks, even during the most intense physical activity. So you can concentrate on your performance without worrying about comfort or protection.

Is exercising in a thong bad for you?

Wearing a thong during sport is generally not advisable, especially for high-impact activities or those involving repeated movements. Thongs can cause chafing, irritation or redness, particularly in sensitive areas, which can lead to discomfort during and after exercise. What's more, a thong does not provide the same level of protection as menstrual panties, especially during menstruation. For these reasons, it's best to wear undergarments with more coverage and comfort, such as our menstrual sport pants, which offer excellent support and absorption adapted to your flow. Our panties are designed to adapt to your body and accompany you in your sporting activities, ensuring uncompromising comfort and protection.
