I think we can all agree that periods suck. I have mine right now and I am a grumpy, swollen mess.
Anything we can do to be more comfortable during the few days each month when our body is unpredictable, hormonal and sometimes just plain sore is an absolute win.
I recently tried period panties for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. I’d heard about them working for other women, but given that I suffer from endometriosis and heavier-than-average periods, I kinda assumed they wouldn’t work for me.
I was wrong! Period undies are actually amazing. They’re comfier than tampons and pads, they’re sustainable, easy to wash, less restrictive and, best of all, they make you feel like going about your normal day is that much more manageable.
Like with any lingerie, you’ve definitely got to find the brand that’s the right fit for you; and everyone is different.
One of the first brands in Australia to provide period and leak-proof underwear brand is modibodi. It’s known for being sustainable and super comfy and it’s just launched two new seamfree styles designed to protect you from periods, bladder leaks…and that pesky visible panty line.
The new styles come in both: Recycled Seamfree Hi-Leg Cheeky and Recycled Seamfree Thong and are crafted from 73 percent pre-consumer recycled nylon with a sleek, smooth finish which is invisible under everything from leotards and activewear to your favourite bodycon outfits.
They’re slightly high-waisted, which gives ultimate comfort and security as well as working perfectly for dance, yoga or everyday wear because you can wear them under just about anything.
One of the main issues with period undies is that they can be tight at the seams which isn’t ideal for lengthy usage. If you’re planning on wearing period undies for a few days at a time, leaning towards a seam-free knicker is definitely the way to go, as you’re guaranteed to have a looser fit in the seams and therefore, a more comfortable experience overall.
Both new styles come in a choice of classic shades of black and cashew (nude), making them absolute staples for any menstruating babe.
You can shop the two new modibodi styles online now.
