For decades, menstruators across India have managed their cycles with limited choices—products that assumed every period looked the same and every day required identical protection. Disposable pads and liners became default solutions, even though flow can vary dramatically from spotting to extremely heavy bleeding within a single cycle. Comfort, lifestyle, and individual health conditions were often secondary considerations.
As conversations around menstrual health, body awareness, and sustainability evolve, expectations from period care are changing. Menstruators today are seeking protection that adapts to their bodies rather than forcing them to adjust their routines around discomfort or frequent changes. Stepping into this shift with a design-first and cycle-aware approach is Mahina, which is introducing one of India’s most comprehensive absorbency ranges for reusable period underwear.
Mahina’s focus is simple yet powerful: period care should work with real cycles, real bodies, and real lives. Central to this philosophy is the development of thoughtfully engineered period panties for heavy flow, a long-standing gap in the Indian market that has left many menstruators without dependable, all-day options.
Moving Beyond One-Size-Fits-All Period Protection
No two cycles are the same. Flow changes across days, months, and life stages. Yet traditional period products often expect menstruators to use the same type of protection regardless of whether they are spotting, experiencing a regular flow, or managing heavy bleeding associated with conditions such as PCOS.
This mismatch creates unnecessary stress—frequent changes, doubling up products, fear of leaks, and constant planning around bathrooms. Mahina addresses this challenge by offering multiple absorbency levels that allow menstruators to match their protection to their flow, not the other way around.
Each absorbency level is designed to replace multiple disposable products in a single wear, support up to 12 hours of protection, and integrate seamlessly into daily routines. The result is a more predictable, comfortable, and stress-free experience throughout the cycle.
Daily Panty Liner Underwear: Rethinking Everyday Protection
Mahina’s Daily Panty Liner Underwear (DPLU) is designed to replace disposable panty liners entirely. While liners are often marketed as “lightweight,” they are frequently used for reasons beyond periods—daily discharge, post-washroom dampness, sweat, spotting, travel days, or as backup with cups and tampons.
DPLU absorbs up to 10 ml of fluid in one wear, replacing approximately four disposable panty liners. With up to 12 hours of protection, it offers consistent moisture control without the plastic backing or frequent replacement that liners require.
For many menstruators, DPLU becomes an everyday essential rather than a period-only product. It simplifies daily hygiene, reduces waste, and removes the need for constant repurchasing, making it both a practical and conscious choice.
Medium Absorbency: Reliable Support for Regular Flow Days
Medium absorbency period panties are designed for regular flow days when protection needs to be dependable but not excessive. This level replaces roughly three pads, four tampons, or one menstrual cup over a 12-hour wear period.
It is particularly suited for long office hours, commutes, or active schedules that do not allow frequent washroom breaks. By offering steady protection without bulk, medium absorbency helps menstruators move through their day with confidence and comfort.
Rather than planning multiple changes, users can rely on a single pair that adapts to their routine, reducing both physical and mental load during period days.
Heavy Absorbency: Designed to Keep Up With Stronger Flow
Heavy flow days are where many period products fall short. Disposable pads often require frequent changes, and doubling up can feel bulky and uncomfortable. This is where period panties for heavy flow play a crucial role.
Mahina’s Heavy absorbency level replaces approximately four pads, five tampons, or two menstrual cups within a 12-hour window. It is designed for days when flow intensifies but uninterrupted protection is still essential.
By combining high absorbency with breathable, comfortable design, heavy absorbency period panties allow menstruators to go about their day without constant adjustments or anxiety. This level is especially useful for long workdays, travel, or situations where access to washrooms may be limited.
Super Heavy Absorbency: Maximum Protection, Minimal Disruption
Super Heavy is Mahina’s highest absorbency level, created for extremely heavy bleeding, PCOS-related flow, or moments when uninterrupted protection is non-negotiable. It replaces up to five pads, seven tampons, or two and a half menstrual cups over 12 hours.
This absorbency level is particularly valuable for overnight use, long journeys, or high-stress days when frequent changes are impractical. By offering full front-to-back coverage and high fluid retention, Super Heavy absorbency allows menstruators to rest, travel, or work without disruption.
For those who have long struggled with managing heavy flow, this level provides a sense of reliability that disposable products often fail to deliver.
A Longer-Lasting, More Conscious Period Care System
Beyond absorbency, Mahina’s approach emphasizes longevity and practicality. Each period panty is designed to be washed and reused up to 100 times, replacing hundreds of disposable pads or liners over its lifespan.
This significantly reduces waste while also simplifying monthly routines. With just a few pairs in rotation, many menstruators find they no longer need emergency purchases, last-minute pharmacy runs, or constant restocking.
By eliminating plastic-backed disposables from daily use, Mahina supports a more conscious approach to period care—one that aligns comfort, convenience, and sustainability.
Redefining What Period Care Can Feel Like
Mahina’s comprehensive absorbency range is not just about offering more options—it is about reframing expectations. Period protection no longer needs to be uncomfortable, unpredictable, or restrictive. By allowing menstruators to choose protection based on their flow, Mahina brings flexibility and confidence back into the experience of menstruation.
From everyday moisture control to heavy-flow support, each product is designed with real cycles in mind. The result is period care that adapts, supports, and empowers rather than interrupts.
As awareness around menstrual health continues to grow in India, solutions that prioritize comfort, reliability, and adaptability are shaping the future of period care. Mahina’s range of period carerepresents a shift toward protection that works with the body, respects daily life, and supports a more mindful way of experiencing each cycle.
