The world of women's menstrual health has come such a long way in the last few years—with a few big voices really switching up the dialogue. From period underwear to cycle syncing, it's so much easier to embrace your period as an essential—and kind of amazing—part of you, instead of just doing your best to hide it and leaning into that tired taboo.
Championing this movement here in Australia is Scarlet, a sustainable and inclusive underwear brand whose period underwear has now sold out twice. Launched in 2020, Scarlet is a totally carbon-neutral organisation and an official partner of Endometriosis Australia. Their hero range includes a period-proof g-string for discreet protection on lighter days (how good), sleepy boyshorts for a great night's rest, and buttery soft, ultra-comfy everyday briefs too.
As well as these little lifesavers, Scarlet has also created the perfect period cup, which you can wear for up to 8+ hours day or night. It's super leakproof and made with 100% medical-grade silicone. If you opt for Scarlet's "Period Cup Essentials Kit", you'll also score their "On-The-Go" cup cleansing wipes, a cute period cup pouch, and a calendula cup and hand wash for in between use.
Proving they really have thought of everything so you don't have to, Scarlet's "Daily Cleanser" is a must-own too. Designed to be a hydrating and gentle body and bits cleanser, AKA skincare for your most sensitive areas, it's pH balanced and formulated with organic jojoba.
Best part? With Scarlet, you can build your own personalised monthly essentials box, complete with organic cotton tampons, period underwear, period cups—whatever you need—and save 20% and get it all delivered for free.
