FAQs

What makes Cotona different from other period or leakproof underwear?

Cotona is crafted from cotton and safe, non-toxic, leakproof layers, free from PFAS, silver, and harmful chemicals. Every style is designed for softness, breathability, and all-day comfort, with elegant silhouettes that never feel bulky. We’re made for women who value both protection and wellbeing.

Are Cotona products safe for sensitive skin?

Yes, every part that touches your skin is soft, breathable cotton with a gentle stretch, free from harsh chemicals. The hidden layers work quietly to protect you without ever compromising comfort.

How much can Cotona underwear hold?

Each style is designed with specific absorbency levels, from light coverage for everyday leaks to heavy protection for period days. Depending on the product, Cotona can hold the equivalent of 2–4 tampons’ worth of liquid while still feeling breathable and discreet.

Can I wear Cotona underwear without a pad or tampon?

Yes. Our leakproof technology means you can wear Cotona on its own without extra pads or tampons, depending on your flow. On heavier days, some women choose to pair them with our reusable pads for extra confidence.

How do I wash Cotona underwear?

After wearing, rinse your underwear in cold water until it runs clear. Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent (no fabric softener or bleach). Air dry flat or hang, avoid the dryer to preserve the leakproof layers.

How long will Cotona underwear last?

When cared for properly, Cotona underwear will last well beyond 50 washes. Many customers use them for a year or more without losing absorbency or comfort.

Will Cotona underwear feel bulky?

Not at all. We designed Cotona to feel like your favourite everyday underwear, with discreet leakproof layers that don’t add bulk. The gusset is slim, soft, and breathable, so you feel confident without feeling weighed down.

Can Cotona help with bladder leaks as well as periods?

Yes. Cotona is designed for both period protection and light bladder leaks. Whether it’s a sudden sneeze, a laugh, or post-pregnancy changes, our underwear offers discreet, reliable protection while looking and feeling beautiful.

What sizes do you offer?

Cotona is available in XS–6XL, designed to fit and flatter a wide range of body shapes. We follow Australian sizing, and our fit guide will help you choose your perfect size.

How many pairs will I need?

It depends on your cycle and lifestyle. For periods, 3–5 pairs will cover most women for a full cycle with washing in between. For bladder leaks, you may want 5–7 pairs for daily wear.

Can Cotona’s reusable pads be worn with any underwear, or only with Cotona?

Cotona reusable pads are designed to snap perfectly into our leakproof underwear for a secure fit, extra absorbency, and zero shifting. However, they can also be worn with most standard cotton underwear that has a similar gusset shape.
