How to Use a Disposable Period Panty: Size, Wear & Disposal Guide
Quick answer: Pick your size by waist and hip measurement, then wear the period panty like normal underwear (no pad needed). In the morning, tear both side seams to remove it, roll it up, wrap it and put it in the dustbin. Never flush it.
Trying a disposable period panty for the first time? It's easier than using a pad, but a few tips on sizing, wearing and disposal make the experience much better. Here's a simple step-by-step guide.
Step 1: Find your size
Measure your waist (narrowest part, just above the belly button) and hips (widest part) with a soft tape. Then match it to the size chart. For the Maxzorb Evaa Overnight Period Panty:
| Size | Waist | Hip |
|---|---|---|
| M/L | 28–32 in | 36–44 in |
| L/XL | 32–38 in | 36–44 in |
| XL/XXL | 38–42 in | 42–50 in |
Between sizes? Choose the larger one. A panty that's too tight can dig in at the legs and cause leaks.
Step 2: Put it on
- Wash your hands.
- Take the panty out of the pack and gently stretch it to open it fully.
- Check which side is the back. The absorbent area is usually wider and longer at the back.
- Step in and pull it up like regular underwear. Make sure the absorbent core sits snugly against your body and the leg openings sit comfortably in the hip crease.
- You don't need a pad or your own underwear with it.
Step 3: Sleep easy
With 360° leak protection and up to 12 hours of protection, you can sleep on your back, side or front. If your flow is extremely heavy on day 1, you may want to change before bed and again first thing in the morning.
Step 4: Remove it the easy way
- Tear the side seams on both sides. Don't pull it down over your legs.
- Take it off from the front, folding the soiled side inwards.
- Roll it up tightly.
Step 5: Dispose of it hygienically
- Wrap the rolled panty in its pack wrapper, a paper bag or newspaper.
- Put it in a covered dustbin.
- Never flush period panties; they will block drains.
- Wash your hands afterwards.
Common questions

Can I use it after delivery?
Yes. Its full coverage and high absorbency make it suitable for postpartum bleeding. Read about what's normal after delivery.
Is it reusable?
No. Disposable period panties are designed for single use only.
