FAQ

Invasive period products (products that you insert into your vagina) such as tampons completely stop your menstrual blood from flowing out. This creates two risks: 1. The vaginal walls can become dry and cracked. This can be painful and may even cause an infection. 2. In rare cases, using invasive period products can lead to toxic shock syndrome (TSS). TSS is a life-threatening disease that is fortunately very rare. It can occur if tampons and menstrual cups are not changed regularly or are even left in the vagina. This can create a bacterial outbreak that can then trigger TSS. Have you ever looked at the back of a tampon pack or visited their website? Unfortunately, very little information is provided about the exact ingredients - and this for a product that many of us insert into our bodies every month. There are many different and very personal reasons why you may not want to insert hygiene products into your vagina. AM Drips can be a great alternative for you - whether you're doing sports or in your everyday life. To put it briefly: AM Drips don't pull or press like tampons and menstrual cups can sometimes do when you're doing sports. And unlike a pad, they're less bulky, don't slip and don't make you sweat.

Nothing comes as close to your body as our AM Drips. That's why we only use fabrics that are certified according to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100. The OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 is a label for textiles that have been tested for harmful substances. It sets the standard for textile safety, from the yarn to the finished product. Every article with the OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 label has passed laboratory tests for harmful substances. You can find more details at: OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 .

We have carefully selected all the materials used and placed the highest value on your health, the environment and the people involved. All fabrics were manufactured in Europe. Please note: Not all of our raw materials for the materials come from Europe, as this is not possible for climatic reasons. // Inside: Antibacterial and extremely liquid-permeable fabric for a dry feel // Terry cloth : Absorbent fabric that increases the dry feel // Membrane: Ensures that no liquid penetrates to the outside and consists of 77% recycled polyester // Outside: Like all drips, made of 82% biodegradable polyamide. // We are committed to impeccable quality and the highest level of comfort every day - because nothing is closer to our skin than underwear. Our manufacturing partner therefore only uses fabrics that are certified according to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100. You can find out more under "Production & Sustainability"

AM Drips are currently available in four different sizes: XS/S, S/M, M/L and L/XL. The AM Drips are generously cut and very elastic and supple. We therefore tend to recommend that you go for a size smaller than normal. But of course that also depends on what you prefer during your period. If you don't know what size you are, take a look at our size chart under size advice . The best way to measure your hips is horizontally at the widest point of your buttocks. The measuring tape should fit snugly but not cut in. Of course, you can try on your AM Drips at home and exchange them if the size doesn't fit. However, we ask that you do not remove the hygiene label in the crotch area. We would also be very grateful if you did NOT try on the AM Drips during your period and only with underwear. You can find all the details about exchanges and returns here.

Yes, definitely! You can simply machine wash our AM Drips and then put them back on. This way you are better for the environment than with disposable period products. We even recommend that you wash your AM Drips before you wear them for the first time, as they have already traveled a certain distance to get to you due to being sent by post.

It all started with a chronic bladder infection. During our monthly Sunday brunch we started researching the causes. You all know the Google searches that you do quickly during a conversation to be able to bring more facts into the conversation. We soon came to the conclusion: disposable menstrual products such as tampons can increase the risk of a bladder infection. Two or three clicks later we had placed our first joint order for period underwear. Skeptics became followers, and the followers became entrepreneurs. 1.5 years later, the AM Drip brand is ready to make women's exercise and relaxation during their period as pleasant, healthy, sustainable and stylish as possible...
