Frequently Asked Questions
How does your menstrual swimsuit work?
Our menstrual swimsuit features a specially designed panty bottom to accommodate our washable menstrual pads. These pads feature clips that allow them to be easily attached to the inside of the swimsuit, ensuring discreet and comfortable protection.
What materials are used in your menstrual swimwear?
Our swimsuits are made from durable, supportive Lycra and are lined for quality and durability. For our menstrual pads, we choose body-safe, OEKO-TEX-certified fabrics, ensuring they do not contain any endocrine disruptors. For more information, we invite you to explore our Concept and Commitments page.
What is flow-optimizing knitting?
It is a special knitting technique used to make the fabric in contact with the mucous membranes, thus ensuring rapid and effective absorption of flows while drying instantly.
How do I wash and care for my menstrual pad?
To care for your menstrual pad, we recommend washing it after each use. Simply rinse it in cold water and then machine wash it with mild soap. It will come with a care guide advising you on how to best use it to ensure it lasts as long as possible.
What is the recommended procedure for removing the menstrual pad after leaving the water?
We recommend changing your menstrual pad as soon as you get out of the water. You can store the used pad in the Zehnia pouch provided for this purpose until you can rinse it by hand, then put it in the washing machine.
Why is it important to remove the menstrual pad immediately after swimming?
Removing the menstrual pad as soon as you get out of the water helps limit the risk of bacterial growth or unpleasant odors, ensuring a pleasant and healthy swimming experience. We chose to make removable protection because if they were integrated into the swimsuits, you would have to buy at least two bottoms to guarantee your intimate hygiene.
How can I be notified of new collections and product updates?
To stay informed about new collections, product updates, and special offers, we recommend subscribing to our newsletter on our website. You can also follow us on social media to stay up to date on our latest news and updates.
What is the absorbency of your menstrual pad?
The pad is suitable for all flows, from light to heavy. However, when swimming, we recommend adding an internal bio protection if your flow is heavy. For optimal use, it is necessary to change the pad before and after swimming.
Are washable pads interchangeable between different menstrual swimwear collections?
Yes, our pads are designed to be compatible with all our swimsuits, regardless of the collection. Additionally, our R&D team is working tirelessly to make them even more invisible and effective. Other versions of the pads will therefore be released.
What is the Zehnia flower and how is it used on your menstrual swimwear?
Zehnia flowers are handcrafted by fashion school students in Paris. Symbols of purity, strength, and resilience, they are designed to be added to your swimsuits, dresses, handbags, and more.
Is the Zehnia flower water resistant?
Yes, the Zehnia flower is made from water-resistant materials to ensure its durability and longevity. We still recommend dry cleaning it to preserve it as much as possible.
