We tested Femi.Eko® menstrual panties: Are they safe and hygienic?

Femi.Eko® menstrual panties are proven to be safe against bacteria. Extensive testing has demonstrated the antibacterial efficiency of the absorbent layers against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida Albicans, even after 50 washes.

Why are Femi.Eko® menstrual panties safe?

Femi.Eko® panties are designed to absorb menstrual fluid, daily secretions, and even incontinence leaks. This is achieved through their protective overlapping layers that absorb and store liquid inside.


Unlike traditional pads, Femi.Eko® menstrual panties offer high breathability without the use of plastic inserts and gels that can maintain a wet environment. Additionally, they can be washed and reused for years, making them an eco-friendly option.

What sets Femi.Eko® menstrual panties apart from other brands?

At Femi.Eko®, we prioritize innovation and the introduction of new technologies that enhance women's intimate hygiene. We are patenting an antibacterial technology for the overlapping layers of our menstrual lingerie, which is made of 45% hemp and 55% organic cotton.


This combination of materials provides a safe, healthy, and natural environment for the intimate area, free from chemicals, pesticides, or hormonal disruptors, while also inhibiting bacteria and unpleasant odors.

Do Femi.Eko® menstrual panties protect you from bacteria?

Yes, Femi.Eko® menstrual panties protect you from bacterial growth.


The unique absorbent layers of hemp and organic cotton are hypoallergenic and effectively combat moisture. This reduces the possibility of odors and irritations, ensuring a drier environment during use, which means superior protection during a time when women are more susceptible to infections.


Hemp is known for its natural antimicrobial properties, effectively reducing the development of bacteria and fungi without additional chemical treatments. Combined with organic cotton, which adds breathability and is hypoallergenic, this blend is ideal for maintaining a dry, non-pathogenic environment during menstruation when sensitivity and infection risk increase.


Femi.Eko® menstrual panties have been tested against bacteria: Here are the results!


In a context where safety and health are priorities, Femi.Eko® menstrual panties stand out by using hemp, a fiber that not only reduces the risk of allergies and irritations but also effectively combats the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms.


This remarkable efficiency, supported by test results, confirms our expectations. Femi.Eko® menstrual panties are not just a sanitary product but a necessity for women's health during menstruation, daily use, and incontinence issues when the infection risk is higher.


In addition to antibacterial efficiency, testing also demonstrated the absorption efficiency, moisture resistance, and extended wear and wash durability. These features are vital to ensure the product not only meets but exceeds consumer expectations in all relevant aspects, making it a superior product with extensive benefits.


Test Results and Performance Superiority According to the FZ/T 73023 Standard:


Class AAA: Standard testing indicates an antibacterial efficiency after 50 washes with inhibition rates of 80% for Staphylococcus aureus, 70% for Escherichia coli, and 60% for Candida Albicans.


Femi.Eko® menstrual panties exceed these standard norms for specialized antibacterial testing, demonstrating an inhibition rate of over 99% for Staphylococcus aureus, 97% for Escherichia coli, and 97% for Candida Albicans, even after 50 washes.


This means that Femi.Eko®'s hemp-based absorbent lingerie offers antibacterial protection 19% above the AAA Class standard for Staphylococcus aureus, 27% above for Escherichia coli, and 37% above the superior testing standard for Candida Albicans.

The results confirm our commitment to providing a comprehensive product that addresses the complex needs of women who trust our products.
