As someone who has seriously suffered with her periods over the last decade, I really wish I had known about Modibodi. It is a brand designed by mum Kristy, offering period, pee and sweatproof underwear - knickers, bras, camis, active leggings and swimwear.
I introduced my teenage girls to their period pants about a year ago and it was interesting to see the response I got. The one with the heavier periods was on board from the start and excited to see if the knickers could stop us from having to change her sheets frequently and the other one just looked at them and declared them old people, ugly granny pants! She's now having a change of heart when she saw how well they are working for her twin and she asked me to get some knickers for her too. So now I have two converts in the house!
Thankfully my periods seem to have gone away, thanks to my second TCRE operation in January this year so I had assumed I had no need for Modibodi pants anymore, but actually, I'm now seeing a pelvic health specialist about those little 'opps' moments and realising that I probably ought to get myself some Modibodi pants to try out too. It will be far more comfortable than having to wear pads all the time.
Sustainable Agenda
Talking of pads, who realised that it takes 500 - 800 years for a pad to biodegrade. I had no idea it was quite as bad as that, so moving to a reuable product like Modibodi pants can really make a big difference as each woman will use around 11,000 single-use sanitary products in her life and if you're a heavy bleeder like I was then it would be far more. Modibodi is serious about sustainability and making a difference.
Variety of Styles
There are a whole range of different style knickers and a variety of absorbancies too. Personally, I think my favourite style is the sensual high-leg as they look and feel like a regular pair of knickers but my girls like the thong and the boyleg designs. As well as the full brief being super comfortable and giving the best peace of mind for overnight wearing when you are on your heaviest days.
You can see in the pictures below that the absorbent part of the knickers is black and inside, but from the outside when you are wearing the knickers no one will know that they are period pants. The gusset area is just 3mm thick and feels super soft.
The absorbancies available are -
- Heavy/overnight absorbancy (these hold around 3-4 tampons/ 4 teaspoons/ 20ml of liquid)
- Moderate/ heavy absorbancy (these hold around 2-3 tampons, 3 teaspoons/ 15mls of liquid)
- Light/ moderate absorbency (these hold around 2 tampons/ 2 teasponns/ 10mls of liquid)
- Super light absorbency (these hold around1 tampon/ 1 teaspoon/ 5mls of liquid)
- Moisture wicking (absorbing moisture droplets)

As you can tell, we really like the Modibodi products and I'm sure we'll be getting more in the future and recommending them to friends.
I've had the implant for the past 10 or so years so don't really get regular periods, but I have been thinking about getting it removed and I don't think I'm prepared to get them back. I love the idea of pants though as I think they'd be so much more comfortable x
ReplyDeleteYes, I bet it would be a bit of a shockm to have your periods back after 10 years. I must say I am really enjoying not having them.
DeleteThese products sounds great! I have been considering trying some period pants now that I am having them again so might have to pick up some ModiBodi ones.
