Very satisfied

The panties are very pretty/elegant! Just wearing them makes me (almost 😉 ) look forward to my periods. On the other hand, they do run small and it's best to go up a size to be comfortable ☺️

Very good

This is my second ELIA order, and I'm as satisfied as ever.
On the downside, my 2019 panties are really tired, so plan to renew them regularly.

Très très bien

Very nice rendering, doesn't look like a period pants at all. Absorption no problem. My only small drawback is that it's not very elastic at the seams, so it's a little tight there, but otherwise fits well.

Beautiful!

Very nice panties, well cut and comfortable.
However, I agree, they really do run small! I went up a size from the Philomène panty, and it's even smaller than the Philomène panty. I'd even hesitate to size up again next time. Why not harmonize the sizes of these panties in the atelier with those of the others?

A problem of size

The panties were pretty but the size S didn't fit (too small) whereas another model S fitted perfectly.

Hello Séverine,

Have a nice day,

Our prices

Why are there no sales?

At Elia, we've opted for 100% French manufacturing, valuing every link in the
production chain: from the cotton manufacturer, to the seamstress who will make your panties, to the order picker.

Sales and fast-fashion are often the result of overproduction of textile products, at the cost of a disastrous ecological footprint and a waste of polluting raw materials during manufacture. So at Elia, we prefer to produce exactly what we need, with natural, high-quality raw materials. Our pricing policy is to offer you the best quality at the fairest price. We have chosen to produce everything in France to ensure traceability and maximum comfort of our panties, without compromise. 

As part of our referral and loyalty program, however, you can quickly benefit from advantages that enable you to acquire our beautiful lingerie at a more attractive price.

Is a pair of underpants from periods a saving?

Absolutely! If you use disposable sanitary protection, that's just as much money and waste going into the garbage can every cycle. In the long term, periods panties are more economical. But beyond the cost savings you make with
menstrual underwear, using periods underwear is above all a commitment to the planet (zero waste, fewer pollutants...) and to your body
(100% organic cotton, no risk of toxic shock syndrome...).

Take the test and find out how much you could save with our savings calculator.
