There’s nothing worse than waking up in a panic, checking to see if you leaked overnight. Whether you're still dealing with your heaviest flow days or just want peace of mind during the night, the right period products can make all the difference. Let’s explore what works, especially if you're after effective, comfortable, and eco-conscious period care.

Why Overnight Protection Matters

Sleep presents a different challenge. Your body is at rest, your movements are minimal, and gravity shifts how fluid behaves. That’s why not all period products work the same way they do during the day. Overnight, you need a combo of absorbency, coverage, and comfort so that you can sleep soundly and not anxiously.

Ultra Thin & Extra Overnight Pads

TOM Organic offers two standout options designed specifically for nighttime use. They are both made with organic cotton and are perfect for those seeking period products that are gentle on skin and earth. They have two sets of wings and extra length to keep you protected:

• Ultra Thin Overnight Pads: These are slim but super absorbent to keep you protected while having a barely there feel. 
• Extra Overnight Pads: These are a thicker option built for heavier flow nights 

Both are breathable and hypoallergenic, making them great options for nights when you worry about leakage, without synthetic chemicals or dyes. 

Period Briefs: The Game-Changer for All-Night Confidence

If you want an easy, streamlined solution, period briefs may offer the reassurance you’re after. TOM Organic’s Full Brief and Bikini Cut Period Briefs are crafted from breathable organic cotton and feature a four-layer design with a leak-proof barrier. These briefs absorb up to two to three regular tampons’ worth of fluid. 

They offer a close fit without constriction, move with your body, and can be used alone or layered with other products for added peace of mind.

Period Cup: Reusable Overnight Freedom

If you prefer a different reusable approach, TOM Organic’s period cup collects fluid rather than absorbing it. It can be worn up to twelve hours, including overnight, when inserted correctly.

Since it forms a seal, it offers truly leak-free protection, especially when paired with a period brief as a backup. It’s one of the most eco-conscious period products available. 

Tips for a Leak-Free Night

1. Change before bed: Start the night with a fresh pad, brief, or cup for maximum effectiveness.
2. Choose wings or briefs: Both help anchor the product in place, reducing movement and leaks.
3. Try layering: On heavier nights, wear period briefs under an overnight pad or use a cup with a brief for peace of mind.
4. Wash reusable items carefully: For briefs, rinse in cold water and line dry; cups get rinsed after each wear then sterilised at the beginning/end of your cycle. 

Is It Safe?

Yes, these are absolutely safe period products, made with 100% organic cotton and free from synthetic fragrances and dyes. TOM Organic designs are hypoallergenic and made with biodegradable materials, friendly to both body and planet. 

Plus, the period cup is medical-grade silicone, free from BPA or latex, and reusable for up to five years when cared for properly.

Sleep Shouldn’t Be a Struggle

Quality sleep should never be compromised by your period. Whether you lean toward pads, briefs, a reusable cup, or a layered approach, TOM Organic provides thoughtful solutions designed for both comfort and confidence.

• Use Extra Overnight Pads or Ultra Thin Overnight Pads for dependable flow control.
• Switch to a Period Briefs if you want flexible, no-shift protection.
• Try pairing a period cup with a brief for eco-friendly, leak-free nights.

With a bit of experimentation, you will discover the combination that best supports you through the night, so you can rest well, no matter where you are in your cycle.
