How to Wear the Carla Heavy Knicker with Confidence
The Carla is designed for real life — the days when you need to know you’re protected without thinking about it. Wear it alone on heavy flow days and let the four-layer gusset do the work, or pair with a menstrual cup or tampon on your very heaviest days for an extra layer of reassurance.
The VPL-free, high-leg cut sits smoothly under everything — fitted trousers, bodycon dresses, gym leggings — so no one will ever know you’re wearing period pants. It’s the kind of quiet confidence that changes how you feel about your cycle entirely.
