Are you thinking of trying it but are you confused about something?
You're right. Switching to something new can be a bit confusing, so Frequently Asked Questions We answer.
Do menstrual underwear feel wet?
Ours is no. The top layer of our patented lining is designed with Merino wool. Merino wool is naturally moisture-wicking, which keeps you feeling fresh and dry.
Some of our customers say that they feel blood dripping into their underwear during their period. However, when you try it on, you will notice that it will quickly pass into the middle layer where it will be absorbed by the top layer and trapped. How Do Menstrual Panties Work? Click and Read...
Do period underwear smell?
No, your Modibodi doesn't smell for 2 main reasons. First, the liquid is quickly transferred to the middle layer and trapped there. This way, you always feel dry and safe thanks to the dry upper area. Our patented mesh structure is also designed to fight odor and odor-causing bacteria, meaning it is a safe odor inhibitor.
Is it noticeable from the outside?
No, it’s never noticeable from the outside. But you can tell your friends about your period panties so they can have a chance to feel comfortable and dry too. And of course, you should do your bit for the planet.
Made from high-quality fabrics and available in many different models, our menstrual panties look and feel like regular underwear.
The absorbent lining is built into the crotch of the underwear, so it won’t slip, move, fall out or fold in (unlike pads!) Plus, the crotch thickness is just 3mm for our Medium-Intensive and Intensive-Nighttime underwear, and 6mm for our Maxi 24h underwear, so it’s unnoticeable even under tight clothing.
How do I know when to change my period underwear?
Just like when you first use a pad or tampon, it can take a while to work out how often you need to change your underwear, and this will vary depending on both your personal flow and the absorbency of the underwear you're wearing.
Many of our customers tell us that they wear one pair all day at work or school and then change into a new pair when they get home or before bed. Over time, you'll find the right pair for you, too.
If you need to change your underwear while you’re out and about during the day, or if you’re worried you might need one, you can use our waterproof bags to keep your used underwear safe (and odour-free) until you wash them.
How many pairs of underwear do I need to get through my entire period?
This depends on how often you do laundry (or, if you're lucky, how often someone does it for you).
Basically, you need one for each day of your cycle. That's about 4 to 7 Modibodis, unless your cycle is particularly short or unusually long. You'll also probably want to wear a different one at night.
For example, if you wash your period pants every three days and wear one during the day and one at night, you'll need six Modibodis, but if you wash them every two days, four will be enough.
So, the first thing you need to think about is how often you will do laundry :) After using your Modibodi, you can rinse it with cold water and throw it in the machine with the rest of your laundry. Use your regular laundry detergent, but no fabric softener.
How to wash menstrual panties?
First of all, we would like to say that it will be much easier than trying to remove blood from ordinary white cotton panties :)
The absorbent mesh in Modibodi underwear is black, so there's no need to use stain remover. There's also no need to soak, scrub, or scrub. (Yes!)
Because our period panties are designed to literally seep in, all you need to do to keep them in tip-top condition is follow these four easy steps… Not a big ask for a comfortable period and planet-friendly protection ;)
STEP 1: Hand-rinse your menstrual underwear in cold water. You can do this under the tap until the water runs clear, or immediately after removing your underwear in the shower.
STEP 2: You should wash your rinsed clothes in the washing machine, preferably in cold water. If possible, it would be better if you use a laundry bag.
STEP 3: Use regular laundry detergent. You shouldn't use fabric softener because of the damage it can do to the natural fibers that make underwear work effectively.
STEP 4: Hang dry (no dryer!). That's it :)
