Uniqlo Australia has expanded into the period care market with the launch of its first range of period underwear. 

The retailer's new collection comes as research from TMR indicates that the global period underwear market is projected to reach US$279.3 million by the end of 2026. 

The AIRism Period Underwear collection extends Uniqlo's Femcare innerwear line which includes front-open innerwear and maternity garments. 

The new period undies feature three layers – a drying and odour control layer, an absorbent layer and a water resistant layer – to ensure those on their period feel dry and comfortable. 

The absorbing layer can hold between 30 to 40ml of liquid, which is approximately three medium-flow tampons. 

"The use of silky and smooth AIRism fabric in a seamless construction provides superb comfort," Uniqlo Australia said in a statement. 

"The gusset portion in the crotch has a bonding finish that crimps the fabric to minimise leakage from the seam needle holes," the business said. 

Uniqlo's AIRism Period Underwear are available in four colours, green, beige, baby pink and black. 

They are available in-store and online now and retail for $29.90 each.
