Light flow
Play the siren even during your period! Our menstrual swimsuit bottom Arielle with its absorbent organic cotton core, will protect you from light flow and spotting, in and out of the water. Its high waist slightly sheathing and its belt to be tied, in pretty knot or to be crossed on the belly, sculpt your waist of a retro air. Its textured honeycomb fabric completes the look.
How does it work?
In the sea or in the pool, water pressure slows down (but doesn't stop!) the flow of menstruation, so the amount of blood lost is minimal and usually diluted in the water as you move. This is normal, and it is thanks to this property that our lingerie and bathing suit are easily rinsed before being put in the machine.
It is especially at the exit of bath, that the technology of our Arielle swimsuit takes all its direction. Its elasticated thighs and absorbent core, which does not swell, effectively retain more viscous fluids inside, such as blood, while our breathable polyamide allows water to evacuate quickly when leaving the water, so it does not accumulate and weigh down the swimsuit.
This avoids the unpleasant surprise of blood running down your thighs after swimming. This gives you plenty of time to change!
For heavier flows, it is possible to wear our Arielle bikini bottoms in addition to another sanitary protection (cup, organic tampon...).

Why change?
All our products are designed in collaboration with midwives and gynecologists. Their feedback is unanimous: it is not ideal for the mucous membranes to stay in contact with a wet garment all day, especially during menstruation. That's why we've developed an easy-to-change swimsuit that respects your vaginal microbiota and avoids the risk of developing fungal infections. We recommend not keeping a wet bathing suit (menstrual or not) for more than 2 hours.
We want to make your life easier, without endangering your health!
