Updated March 19, 2020

Period subscription boxes are a convenient way to stay stocked up without stepping out! The monthly subscriptions on this list will provide you with the menstrual hygiene supplies that suit your needs and wishes—there are familiar names, new brands that only use good-for-you materials and ingredients, eco-friendly options, and everything in-between, and span offerings like tampons, panty liners, pads, cups, wipes, and more. And, if you desire to be sent a little treat to go along with your period supplies, just to make things a little less awful, there are subscriptions that send chocolate, tea, and gifts, too! Psst—for those curious about leak-proof period underwear, we added a few suggestions to try at the bottom of this list.

Cost: Plans start at $8.99 a month, with optional add-ons. Subscribe here!

Why we love it: Blume lets you customize a box of sustainable, safe, feminine hygiene products to match your needs. In addition to their FDA-approved, 100% chemical-free supplies, they offer awesome add-ons like essential-oil-based skincare. We love this subscription's modern packaging and approachable messaging—it feels like something you'd expect from the hippest new beauty brand, not from tampons and pads—and the fact that they donate part of their proceeds to an organization that helps educate and support girls in need during their periods.

LOLA also offers a great range of ingredient-conscious intimate products. We're smitten with their crisp, understated packaging. No need to hide these packages in the cabinet—they'll look perfectly unassuming (maybe even chic) sitting out on your counter! Try a sample pack of their products for $5.

Bonus: Curious About Period Panties? Here Are a Few Recommendations!

The following suggestions are for one-time purchase, but they're great products to pair with your favorite period supplies subscription.

1. Aisle

Period underwear from Aisle, which was formerly Lunapads.

Image via Aisle.

Cost: Starts at $13 per reusable panty liner, $40 per pair of underwear. Purchase here!

Why we love it: Formerly Lunapads, Aisle started out by making reusable, machine-washable panty liners and pads so that period protection could be more cost-effective and enjoyed with a reduced environmental impact. Now, this diverse and inclusive company carries period underwear, too, in brief, bikini, hipster, and boxer brief silhouettes. They also sell their own brand of menstrual cups in two sizes, as well as a stain eraser, absorbency booster (an additional layer you can add to the gusset of your undies), and carry bag for somewhere to store both used goods and extras as you strike out into the world to, you know, live your normal life. This Certified B Corp company’s offerings are created in sizes XS-5X.

Ships to the US (from British Columbia) for $10, BC for $7, the rest of Canada for $10, and worldwide starting at $15. All US and Canada orders over $75 ship free.

 

2. Knix

Six women of many sizes and ethnicities posing with Knix leak-proof underwear on, with various coverage silhouettes featured.

Image via Knix.

Cost: Starts at $23 per pair. Purchase here!

Why we love it: Women are amazing for a whole number of reasons, not the least of which being that our bodies are brilliant—the vagina is a self-cleaning organ, meaning discharge is totally normal. So, while Knix’s leak-proof underwear is an awesome replacement for the panty liners you might use during lighter days of your period, or as backup on heavier days (they absorb up to 3 tsp or 15 mL of moisture), they also offer comfort and protection during non-cycle times. They are equipped to absorb discharge, urine, sweat, menstrual blood, all while remaining totally cute and comfy, then be tossed in the washing machine for the next wear.

Bonus: Knix also makes wire-free bras and supportive tanks in F & G cup sizes (full size range is 32A to 42G), as well as comfortable postpartum products like super-stretchy leak-proof undies, leak-proof nursing bras and tanks, and pumping bras.

Ships to the US for $7 (free for orders over $70), Canada for $10 (free for orders over $80), Canadian locations of NWT, Nunavut, Yukon for $20 (free for orders over $100), and internationally for $25 (free for orders over $200).

 

3. Knixteen

Cost: Starts at $16 per pair. Purchase here!

Why we love it: Knixteen is the teens edition of Knix, offering 3 silhouettes for period and discharge protection: boyshorts, bikini cut, and sleepover shorts. A variety of colors and patterns are carried, along with the confidence that comes with leak-proof living. Just like with Knix panties, this seamless underwear can absorb up to 3 tsp (that’s 15 mL) of liquid, which is about how much 2 tampons might absorb. The size range is XS-XXL, and they’re machine-washable for easy care!

Ships to the US for $7 (free for orders over $70), Canada for $10 (free for orders over $80), Canadian locations of NWT, Nunavut, Yukon for $20 (free for orders over $100), and internationally for $25 (free for orders over $200).

 

4. Thinx

Three women wearing period underwear from Thinx.

Cost: Starts at $24 per pair. Purchase here!

Why we love it: Thinx covers all the bases in terms of protecting bottoms during that time of the month. They have expanded to carry many silhouettes including thongs, leotards, and exercise shorts, all in an XS-3X size range (some in XXS). Thinx Classic holds up to 18mL (about 2 tampons’ worth) of fluid, while Thinx super holds up to 36mL (about 4 tampons’ worth). Thinx (BTWN) panties use the same technology to prevent leaks, stains, and smells, but come in full-coverage styles and cool colors that are meant to fit tweens and teens.

Ships to the US for $5, Canada for $9, and internationally for varying costs. First order ships free with an account for all countries.

 

5. Dear Kate

Cost: Starts at $32 per pair. Purchase here!

Why we love it: Dear Kate’s leak-proof products include a line of thongs, hipsters, and brief underwear, but they also offer dancewear (two leotard silhouettes) and activewear pants! Lightheartedly encouraging you to “go commando” with their period, sweat, and leak-protected yoga pants, carried in sizes XS-3X, this brand supports continued movement—or at least utmost comfort—without the worry of seeping or staining. Dear Kate’s thongs hold about 1 teaspoon of liquid (equivalent to a regular absorbency tampon) and their fully lined underwear & bottoms hold about 3 teaspoons (equivalent to a super absorbency tampon).

Shipping costs calculated at checkout. Ships to Pittsburgh, PA for $4.95. International shipping costs vary (free for orders over $175).

Hi there, I'm Christen. I am all sorts of things:

🌳 a writer who loves to convey feeling

🌲 a mother who wants to have just as much fun as my kids do

🌳 an outdoors-lover who's achieved #1000hoursoutside with my family

🌲 a low-maintenance self-carer

🌳 a general hungry person with an unstoppable sweet tooth

You'll find me collecting stationery and squirreling away stickers, riding bikes and swimming with my family, creating outfits in colors and silhouettes that make me feel amazing, wearing big earrings, drinking beer and asking my husband to feed me harmonies to sing, taking my vitamins, living for dancing to live music, roping everyone into a craft, being human and vulnerable, and celebrating the phenomenon of being alive.

...and doing it all with energy, delight, and jokes along the way.
