This post is for those of us that menstruate. Whether it’s monthly, twice a month, once every four months—whatever your cycle. This post is for us.

I refer to it as that time of the month. Or amongst my friends we refer to it as being “crispy”. It’s when we’re feeling irritable, cranky, need our space and understanding. I didn’t come up with it. It was introduced to me ;)

I’ve had mine since the age of 14. And ever since then they’ve been awful. I’d bleed through my jeans. My mom would have to come and drop jeans off for me in High School. So, to avoid that, I’d carry a pair in my backpack just in case. I’d later on try birth control and didn’t like how it made me feel. It also didn’t help manage the flow. It made it worse. Years later (a few weeks ago to be exact!) I finally had enough of the waking up in the middle of the night after a heavy wave came down. It always reminds me of when my water broke years ago, in the wee hours of 3ish in the morning. I rolled out of bed ninja style. Feeling defeated—knowing I’d stained the sheets. I won’t lie. I cried. That following morning I ordered my two first pairs of period underwear! Side note: This post is no where near sponsored. I just want to share my experience with these life changing draws, this first go around.

Let’s talk about the underwear. I was first introduced to them by a social media influencer based out of London @nellylondon. I don’t follow many but she’s someone that promotes body positivity and isn’t always selling her followers something. The first thing that I did was confirm that they shipped to the US which they do! I added the site to my favorites and went on with my life. Until I had enough! And ordered my first two pairs. I went with their “Recycled seam free full brief” heavy/overnight in the color Earth Green in Medium. For comparison purposes—I wear a size 9/10 in jeans. I also ordered their “Sensual Hi Waist Bikini” in heavy overnight. Shipping was $10 and I paid a total of $73.50. I’ll admit it took a little while for them to arrive. They were shipped via DHL. But they made it! Just in time for my next cycle!

I can’t explain how well made these are. They’re excellent quality! They’re also very soft. They fit snug, which is good. I did wear a pad during my Heavy days. But didn’t wear one on my medium/light days. They’re fast absorbing. If that’s the correct way to put it. I didn’t feel moisture with them on. And they absorb odor much better than pads!

The back part of the underwear has full coverage. The trim of the underwear are constructed in a way that they don’t ride up. It’s not like they have rubber on them to prevent that. I don’t know what wizard sewed these lmao but they’re IT!

I will most definitely invest in more pairs. They’re truly period changing. Feel free to check out the website Modibodi.
