Hello all,

How are you?

It has been a while since my last blog on this topic so I thought I would revisit it.

A while ago I wrote a blog about period underwear and wanting to try them out. I was searching all over for recommendations and then as algorithms would have it I was pointed into the direction of Modibodi.

Modibidi are an Australian brand which emerged in 2013. They are also a B Corp. This is amazing because BCorps are companies which have been found to be doing good for the planet and for its residents.

Please check out more here.

I have been using Modibidi for a few years now and they have made a massive difference to my periods. My previous posts on Modibodi are here.

Even after using them for a good few years I am still very happy with my experience. I love how comfy they are, they don’t get bunched like pads can sometimes do. They are soft against your skin.

The best thing for me is the helpful change with routine. As you can wear a pair and not have to worry about going to change your pad during the day for fear of it leaking. If you’ve been there you know how horrible this is.

You can rinse them out at the end of everywhere and then put them to dry. Then you’re ready to wash them. This part at first feels a bit disgusting, but then let’s rember, it’s all natural. It’s only because it’s new it feels weird.

The level of comfort I felt on my period whilst wearing these instead of pads was wonderful. You can go about your day and not worry if you are near to a bathroom to change.

They come in different levels of absorbency so you can pick the one that is right for you.

As an Autsic I find all these things to be big wins.

Not having to adjust my day to consistently accommodate changing a pad.

Being able to be more comfortable.

Periods are hard enough just dealing with the pain. I often find my periods to be very heavy. I have found myself feeling exhausted, spending days in bed because I am so exhausted.

With period underwear it helps even a little bit to make a difference. It makes a big difference for me in the way of feeling a bit more confident when on my period.

I must stress, other brands are available. But Modibodi is the one for me.

And before you ask, no I am not being endorsed to write about Modibodi.

Thank you for reading.
