Gals. Going to talk about periods (sweaty crotches & Bladder leaks). We all get them and I’m all about sharing life hacks and this is a new one for you. Introducing Modibodi
For a while now I’ve been interested in how I can live a more sustainable life. Which started with cutting back on eating meat {Meatless Mondays} and now I’ve been making a conscious effort not to use tampons or disposable pads because they are so bad for the environment. (not to mention our bank balance too) Did you know that one person can churn through 15,000 pads/tampons and liners in their lifetime, all ending up in landfill and taking up to 500 years to break down!!
In the peak of summer, I’ve been testing out Modibodi underwear and I’m so impressed that I’m going to share the experience.
What are they and how do they work?
Modibodi are underwear with wicking fabric built in that absorbs your menstrual blood. They come in a few different styles and in many sizes which have varied absorption levels. ecently they launched swimwear too, it’s almost sold out!
Okay so if your first thought is ewwwww. I kinda felt the same too until I tried them out. But in the quest to try new things and become a sustainable being I gave it a go and I’m happy and impressed with how they feel and protect me!.
It takes a bit of getting used to but no different to knowing when to change a pad or tampon. You know when you are at work and you plan your look breaks as to when you need to change your tampon? Well you don’t have to worry about that anymore if wearing Modibodi underwear.
The secret is in the patented liner within the underwear. Where the top layer quickly wicks away moisture, fights bacteria and stops smells, so you stay dry and fresh.
The middle layer safely absorbs fluid and locks it away (2.5-20mls depending on the flow you go with)
The bottom layer is extra waterproof protection, so you’re super secure and can go about your day.
Their absorbency is from super light to overnight heavy and they have sizes from pre-teens to size 26AU.
Also like to note that these can also be worn for incontinence issues (aka weak pelvic floor squirts) and perfect for those who get a sweaty groin during summer.
Questions
How do you wash them?
I rinsed mine in the shower and then popped them into the wash. No need for any fabric softeners or dryer. Fresh air and sunshine work best for these wonders.
How many pairs should you get?
I’d at least buy three so you can wash and rotate them. They take only slightly longer to dry than standard knickers.
Are they bulky?
No not at all. Visually they look like normal underwear. What you don’t see is the extra protection they provide. The protective gusset is only 3mm!
Modibodi uses high quality natural fabrics and breathable tech-savvy fabrics (Organic Bamboo, Merino Perform Wool and Microfibre) with the latest in antimicrobial fibres for a soft, silky fit. Which means they are super comfortable, dry and fresh all day.
Is it gross?
Honestly, not at all. Pads are WAY grosser.
My preference is to have to rinse before washing but it’s no big deal at all, but you don’t technically have to do this The gusset is also black so you don’t see anything at all!
What about leaks and stains? Is there odor?
Happy to report that the underwear is so well constructed that there’s a waterproof layer that prevents leaks and stains. Initially I was worried about leaking but after my first 24 hours I became more relaxed. I even wore white denim shorts on the heaviest day of my period.
Antimicrobial fabric & Modibodi exclusive technology found in the liner eliminates odors so there’s nothing to worry about.
What’s the sizing like?
To determine your size I recommend checking out the extensive sizing chart on the website (here)
They’ve got a detailed ‘Fit Style’ chart that no only covers physical size but it also covers the absorbency for each style. Which is pretty cool.
I’ve got the size 18 which is a good fit.
Should I buy some?
Ummm YES girlfriend. Spread the word with your friends too.
