Period Swimwear Bikini | Floral
●●○○○ | Moderate - Check out our absorbency guide here
This 2-piece Floral Set includes a pair of period bottoms and a halter-neck bikini top in floral print.
The set is fully lined and the period swim bikini bottoms feature a 3 layer gusset with a leakproof layer, absorbent and wicking layer.
Eco Swim period swimwear uses similar technology to our leakproof period underwear Eco Tech, but with the addition of a dry mesh layer against the skin for absorption of body fluids into its core, and water resistant outer fabric to prevent pool or ocean water from getting inside.
All items are fully lined for comfort and quality.
- Eco Swim bikini bottoms absorbs up to 20 ml - no need for disposable period and incontinence products, you can safely wear these without tampons or a menstrual cup.
- Made from pre-consumer recycled nylon - saved from going to landfill.
- No seam lines - internal gusset layers are not sewn on the outside, but sewn on the inside and attached to the inner lining layer.
- Absorbs your period, not the water you’re swimming in. Absorbs light to moderate bleeding, spotting and light bladder leaks.
- UV50+ rated sun protection.
If you prefer a top with a added breast cups, consider our 2 piece set in black or teal.

What's to love about our Period Swimwear Bikini | Floral?
When your swimwear arrive, try them on over your regular, clean underwear before use to check the fit. Make sure to give them a wash before your first wear to improve the absorption performance.
Then to use the swimwear, simply wear them like you would with any of your other swimwear.
Step 1 Wash your Eco Period swimwear before wearing / using them. This activates the EcoTech and primes it for use.
Step 2, After wearing, rinse in cold water until the blood/ fluids are mostly removed. You can do this in the shower to save water, but just do it before the water heats up past 30 degrees, as heat will set stains into the fabrics.
Step 3. Pop your swimwear into a delicates wash bag and into the washing machine on a cold wash. Use a liquid natural detergent.
No fabric softeners.
Step 4. Hang dry on the line outside. Line drying is best as it is kinder to the fabrics. Just don't leave them out on the line for days.
Eco Period swimwear should NEVER:
Be cleansed with harsh detergents (these abrade and break down clothes which shortens their effectiveness and lifespan)
Be cleansed with fabric softeners (it's like fabric cholesterol and blocks the pathways in the fabric through which the liquid travels)
Be bleached (bleach kills everything, need we say more)
Be dry cleaned (putting the products into such a harsh environment with or without the added chemicals is bad)
Be washed in very hot water (heat breaks down the fibres and natural compounds that make these products so effective.
Think your individual decisions won't make a difference?
Well, did you know more than 12 BILLION pads and tampons are thrown out every year worldwide? Let's break this down even further to see the impact you CAN make - the average woman alone uses 11,000 pads, tampons and panty liners in their lifetime. That’s a lot of landfill! It's time to make the switch to Eco Period, you won't look back.
NEW TO REUSABLE PERIOD CARE?
How does Period Swimwear work?
Eco Period swimwear is designed with absorbent layers and moisture-wicking materials to manage menstrual flow. The absorbent layers trap and absorb menstrual fluid, keeping you comfortable while swimming, by ensuring no menstrual fluid leaks out. The outer fabric is water-resistant to prevent water from entering the gusset. No swelling in water and No tampons are required.

SUPER
●●●●● 30-60ml
The lining is thicker and extends to the back waist seam, so it covers you for overnights.
HEAVY
●●●●○ 25-40ml
Choose Heavy absorbency if you have a heavy flow or for your heavy flow days or for moderate incontinence.. The lining extends to the back waist seams, so it covers you for overnights or when laying down on your side and back.
MODERATE/HEAVY
●●●○○ 20-30ml
Perfect to use if your flow is moderate, so think 3rd or 4th day of your period. Also for light to moderate incontinence leaks. These undies will also cover you at night as the leakproof lining extends up to the back waist seam (a thinner layer than the heavy absorbency).
MODERATE
●●○○○ 15-20ml
Choose Moderate absorbency for day-time wear, active wear and for when you just don't need that extra panel of protection up the back. Suitable for flows from 15-25 ml. The lining is generally a little thinner too, so does not feel bulky.
LIGHT
●○○○○ 10-15ml
If your flow is light, or you are using as a backup, choose light absorbency. This will provide a leakproof function and some absorbency as a backup.
All cotton in our products is organically cultivated and comes from suppliers who are inspected and certified as part of the Control Union Certification program. This organization has established criteria for organic production according two certification programmes, GOTS or Organic Exchange Certification. Read more about Control Union here. Organic cotton is cotton grown without any chemical fertilizers or pesticides which is better for human health as well as nature. The organic cotton is different from conventional cotton in many respects, and the difference starts at the fibre stage.
The textile industry has historically been associated with environmentally harmful processing, animal welfare issues, and complex social compliance issues such as child labor, workers’ wages, benefits, fast fashion and health and safety. The demand for certified, sustainable products is growing rapidly. Eco Period works with manufacturers that use Control Union Certified certified organic, recycled and sustainable materials.
Many of Eco Period Australia's products are certified according to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100. OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 is an independent testing and certification system for textile products at all stages of production. OEKO-TEX® covers the production processes itself and includes the finishing. It certifies all types of fabrics but also includes thread, press buttons, elastics, labels etc. We believe it is important to consider every environmental aspect and we are constantly looking for ways to reduce our environmental impact.
