Elia menstrual panties are designed, knitted, cut, assembled and sewn at
in French workshops that comply with stringent sanitary and
environmental specifications. All our product packaging is designed by
French illustrators. All stationery is recyclable and recycled. All our commitments to Made in France, relocation and the textile industry imply much higher industrial costs than if we manufactured our products outside France.

When you buy Elia menstrual lingerie, you're paying for quality panties,
produced with noble materials. You're buying a menstrual panty that respects the environment and is certified OEKO-TEX Standard 100, with organic cotton yarn and that supports French craftsmanship thanks to the Origine France Garantie and France Terre Textile certifications. When you buy
menstrual panties from Elia, you're helping to relocate our industry and keep unique skills alive.

Since the launch of our menstrual panty brand, all our menstrual lingerie has been designed in France in our offices and the workshops we work with.

Transparent panties at a fair price.

We offer two product ranges: adult and teen. We have created a size guide on each product page. We therefore invite you to go to each product page, and click on "Choose my size", just below the phrase "Add to basket".

Please note that each product is sized differently, so we advise you to check each item sheet before validating your basket.

What's more, with each wash, our lingerie may relax slightly, so if your panties are slightly tight when you receive them, don't panic, they'll be fine with each wash.

It can happen, we're sorry. Rest assured, it never lasts too long.

If the stock shortage concerns one of our permanent models (Choupette, Philomène, Félicie, Armande, Simone or Louison), we invite you to sign up for alerts directly on our eshop. Usually, a few days later, you'll receive notification that the product is back in stock.

If the shortage concerns a limited edition, unfortunately it will no longer be available. Indeed, to limit waste, we do
what we call upcycling: we use pretty cotton scraps to create small limited editions, which usually go to
very quickly, so don't delay if you've fallen for the color.

It's important to take your measurements in the right place, so as not to make a mistake.

The exact place to take your measurements is at pelvic level, at the widest point of the pelvis, but without the "saddlebags" which are normally found a little lower down.

Our menstrual pants are sold exclusively on our website. Please do not hesitate to contact our customer service department for advice on the choice of model or size.

If you take good care of it, our Elia menstrual lingerie has the same lifespan as classic lingerie: 5 to 7 years!

All our models can be worn for up to 12 hours, depending on your flow (we advise against wearing your lingerie for more than 12 hours for reasons of hygiene, as with conventional lingerie).

You can also wear our lingerie in addition to conventional sanitary pads if you're afraid of leaks.

Initially designed to be worn during your period, Elia lingerie is also perfectly suited to the following times:
- During your period, day or night
- With or without additional sanitary protection
- Before your period, if you're not sure when it's due and want to be prepared for any unpleasant surprises
- When playing sports
- For white discharge
- After you've gone home and given birth, for post-partum bleeding, and to avoid the risk of irritation caused by conventional protection
- During pregnancy, for the minor inconveniences it can cause, particularly in the last trimester.

And, of course, like conventional lingerie at any time of the month.

To preserve your lingerie for as long as possible, we recommend that you follow our care instructions:

- Rinse your panties in cold water, until the water runs clear, as soon as you've finished wearing them
- Squeeze them gently, without wringing, before putting them in the machine as soon as possible
- Machine wash at low temperature (40°C maximum), with a glycerine-free detergent (avoid fabric softeners and other softeners, which are often very "greasy", and opt instead for white vinegar to soften your laundry)
- Air dry

Hand-washing is of course possible, but we prefer to recommend it as an exception. Hand-washing is
ultimately more aggressive on fabrics than machine-washing (more scrubbing, wringing and twisting, etc.)
which ultimately damages and relaxes your lingerie, Elia or otherwise.

We prefer to recommend hand-washing during the cycle if you wish, and machine-washing at the end of each
cycle.

It can happen: it's a discoloration phenomenon that can occur when some of us have vaginal secretions
that are a little more acidic. This only discolors the cotton, but in no way affects the functionality of the panties.

To minimize them, rinse them in cold, soap-free water as soon as possible after wearing them! And then put them in the washing machine, but otherwise it's just a question of appearance!

It's a problem that's specific to all dark-bottomed panties (menstrual or otherwise), because it depends on our personal acidity (white discharge like blood), which can vary and be more or less important during the same cycle.

A lighter-colored absorbent pad would leave traces of blood after washing, which is why we chose the black color.

This does not spare organic cottons and Oeko-tex-certified fabrics, and is by no means a sign of poor material quality. Once again, there's nothing to worry about, and it in no way hinders the effectiveness of our products!

As a general rule, we advise you to change your underwear more regularly and rinse it quickly after wearing if you don't want to alter the aesthetics of the inside of your panties too much.

We strongly advise you to use a hypoallergenic, glycerine-free detergent for Elia lingerie, and in general for all garments worn close to the body. We also offer a menstrual detergent dedicated to the care of
period panties.

To soften your clothes, don't use fabric softener: if your water is hard and chalky, opt for white vinegar, which has anti-chalk properties and helps combat the dry appearance of clothes after washing. It also neutralizes unpleasant odours. You'll avoid having to use commercial chemical and perfumed products, which aren't recommended for underwear worn close to the body anyway!

Glycerine clogs up absorbent fibers and makes them waterproof in the long run: liquids are likely to bead up on the surface, and that's less effective!

Be careful, for example, with the composition of Savon de Marseille: only a tiny amount of glycerine from the natural saponification process should remain in the original recipe.

For the same reasons, we advise against the use of fabric softeners, as these are greasy compositions formulated to limit static electricity and soften laundry, but which reduce absorption efficiency and clog up machines in the long run! In fact, you shouldn't use them on all absorbent household linen: towels, tea towels... as well as sportswear and menstrual pants!

If your lingerie has been washed at over 40° or accidentally tumble-dried, don't worry!

However, we recommend washing at low temperature for the following reasons:

The absorbent zone made of eucalyptus fibers tends to shrink slightly under the effect of heat. It's still as absorbent as ever, but you may notice that the cotton on top, which hasn't moved, wrinkles under the effect of the slightly shrunken absorbent layer. It's just less attractive!

Blood "cooks" at high temperatures, so stains are harder to remove once they've been heated: that's why it's best to rinse by hand in cold water first. However, the inside of our panties is all black, to avoid unsightly stain residues.

The lifespan of your panties (and that of classic lingerie) is reduced by high-temperature washing, so it's best to avoid it!
