First period with more peace of mind
The first period often arrives at school, during practice, or on a night away from home, and having the right solution on hand makes a difference for the young person and those supporting them. In this collection, we have brought together the AllMatters pieces that best suit this stage: menstrual panties in small sizes, the Mini menstrual cup, and a gentle intimate wash for daily use.
Menstrual panties, the simplest start
Menstrual panties are worn just like any other underwear and absorb flow in the lining, which is why they are the easiest way to start. AllMatters Tencel panties are available from XXS to XXXL in black, made from a soft, breathable fabric in Portugal, with no added PFAS and offering up to 12 hours of leak-proof protection, according to the brand. After use, they should be rinsed in cold water and machine-washed, ready for the following month.
Two absorbencies for two types of days
The light to moderateabsorbency is equivalent to 1 to 2 tampons and is suitable for lighter days, at the beginning and end of the period. The moderate to heavyabsorbency is for heavy flow days and is also available in terracotta and dusty rose, from XS to XXL. With one of each, the young person can choose in the morning which one best fits the day.
Mini menstrual cup
The Mini cup is the size AllMatters recommends for teenagers, for lighter flows, and for those who prefer a small cup. It is made of medical-grade silicone in Germany, free from BPA, latex, and dyes, and protects for up to 12 hours. It requires some practice to insert, so it is natural for it to come after the panties, once the young person feels comfortable.
OrganiWash intimate cleanser
It is pH-balanced and fragrance-free. It washes the menstrual cup and also serves as a gentle intimate wash, in a 75 ml bottle.
How to choose
