You've switched to period pants, but still slipping a pad in on the heavy days, just in case, because some part of you hasn't fully believed the pants alone will hold and you dont want to look back and be embarrased.

The "just in case" pad isn't a small habit, it's the last bit of doubt still hanging around after you've done everything right.

Angel Central, 24 November 2024

On 24 November 2024, Mighty Eve had a stall at Angel Central Sustainable Market, held in the piazza at Angel Central shopping centre. Alongside our usual range, the stall carried a dedicated Christmas Gift Set.

Being at a market like this, in person, changes the kind of questions people ask. Whether someone was there browsing a gift for someone else or thinking about their own drawer, the practical question underneath is usually the same one, including the one below, which came up often enough on the day that it's worth answering properly here.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to wear a pad as well?
If you're asking this, you've probably already switched, maybe more than once, and you're still not fully sure. That's a specific kind of frustrating: you've done the sensible thing, spent the money on a proper pair of period pants, and you're still slipping a pad in just in case, because some part of you doesn't quite trust the front not to leak on a heavy day.

You shouldn't need a backup plan for something you've already paid to solve. Mighty Eve pants are built as standalone period protection woven into soft bamboo knickers, you just get dressed and go.

Here's why that holds up: a bamboo charcoal liner sits against your skin and draws moisture away; a microfibre core beneath it absorbs and holds what the liner pulls through; a waterproof polyurethane layer stops anything getting to your clothes; a silicone backing keeps everything in place so it doesn't shift. That's what's doing the work — not a pad tucked in as backup.
