Product Information

Silver treatments, in the form of silver ions (silver zeolite and variations, silver chloride) and nanosilver, are added to textiles to give them antimicrobial properties. Described as “as seamless as regular underwear” by one tester, these didn’t cause any irritation and were also straightforward to wash. They absorbed fluid instantly and dried quickly, while also being comfortable and soft to wear for 93% of testers. Our solution to smashing period embarassment and overcoming the messy things in life is a healthy dose of self-love, self-expression and humour. Claiming to hold two to three tampons’ worth of fluid, these WUKA briefs -- which are made from sustainably sourced fabric - kept all of our panel leak-free.

Susan was daydreaming about starting a the Feminist Mafia together - Tara wondered why she couldn’t find organic tampons anywhere. If you're after something which feels secure for up to 10 hours and is genuinely stretchy and breathable, I'd absolutely recommend these popular period pants from WUKA. With styles ranging from bikini to high waist, these left our testers feeling super secure and supported, even during exercise. A standout for soaking up fluid effectively and drying in a flash, these pants prevented pesky leakages for 92% of our panel.Primark's affordable pants are made from a mix of cotton and polyester, and come in a range of sizes. The breathable bamboo makeup means no more sour period odour, and the extended absorbent pad up towards your tailbone provides extra security. In addition, beginner patterns omit closures, making them perfect if you are new to sewing or are looking for a quick and easy make. Main Fabric: Lightweight to medium weight knit fabrics with at least 50% 4-way stretch and good recovery, such as bamboo/soy jersey blends, organic cotton, and rayon. She said they were very comfortable all day with no leakage, she almost forgot she was on her period!

There are biodegradable and recycled options, and the classic range which is bamboo viscose and spandex with a merino wool gusset. While they're probably not quite as absorbent as they were sold to be, they suited me fine for WFH days and felt super comfortable. Some are better at providing information on sustainable fabrics, their material's provenance and their supply chain. The first thing I noticed was that they're so lightweight and thin – (and they have a really high leg) – and the print and offering of two matching bikini tops absolutely means they compete with your favourite bikini or one-piece swimsuit.

Some manufacturers give you a rough idea of how long they're expected to last – from the brands we looked at this tends to be around two years, or 50-60 washes, but some don't specify and one brand (Love Luna) suggests a year at most.
