High-waisted menstrual panties with strong absorbency from Danish Hala Collective.

Hala Collective is a small Danish brand that creates menstrual panties with a focus on natural materials and minimal use of synthetics. This makes the panties gentler on the skin and the environment.

Comfortable and functional

The boxer brief style of the Layla briefs might not normally be your go-to underwear, but wait until you try these! They are super comfortable, high-waisted (above the belly button) and fit perfectly without being tight. With their high absorbency, they are also ideal for postpartum.

Which suction power should you choose?

• Light: Perfect for pre- and post-menstrual periods, light bleeding, discharge, and as a backup for a menstrual cup. Absorbs up to 5 ml (equivalent to 1 tampon/pad).

• Moderate: Good for most days with heavier bleeding and mild to moderate incontinence. Absorbs 10-15 ml (equivalent to 2-3 tampons/pads).

• Super and Super Plus: Ideal for very heavy bleeding, night protection, postpartum and moderate incontinence. Absorbs 20-25 ml (equivalent to 4-5 tampons/pads).

How do you use menstrual panties?

For those of us who are a bit new to the subject, I'll just tell you how to use them.

• Wash 1-3 times before first use.
• If there is blood, rinse immediately in cold water until the water runs clear.
• Wash at 30°C with your regular clothes.
• Hang to dry or lay flat, avoid using clamps.
• Do not bleach. Do not iron. Do not tumble dry.

How does Hala Collective differ from other brands?

Hala Collective has really nailed it in how they avoid synthetic materials in their panties while ensuring effective moisture wicking. Their panties, made primarily from natural materials, are gentler on the skin and better for the environment than panties from many other brands.

The panties are designed with a broad understanding of different body types. The fits are created to provide comfort and security for a wide range of body shapes.
