Modi Bodi Reusable Period Pants - Hipster Boyshort Maxi 24 Hour
Our summary: We are so happy to be the first Irish independent store to stock these total game changers! Perfect for girls starting their period journey, saving over 11,000 disposable products over a lifetime of their periods. We have found them to be small fitting - the age 10-12 comfortably fits a 10 year old so we'd recommend you size up. The Max 24 give the best protection and prevent any mishaps.
Leave the disposable tampons and pads at the door and slip into some sustainable, luxuriously comfy Modibodi underwear from your first period!
Great for starting out:
The Modi Bodi Red Hipster range are made especially for tweens and teens. Reduce the anxiety around an irregular cycle by just throwing them on in the morning and getting on with your day. This cute cut hipster bikini is perfect for everyday use and has enough absorbency to keep you covered either during the day or overnight – so you won’t have any awkward leaks out and about or on your white sheets. The patent-pending Maxi-24hrs absorbency is for heavy periods, overnight or up to 24 hours' wear.
Designed to completely replace pads and tampons thanks to its scientifically proven protection which extends from the front-to-back waistband, it's heaven for heavy bleeders and the secret to a peaceful sleep.
Sitting on the hip with a low leg cut for a safe, snug fit, the Hipster Boyshorts feel like regular underwear but it's reusable, sustainable and better for the planet (and your bodi). The breathable patent-pending lining is absorbent and antimicrobial to fight odour, stains and bacteria.
Modibodi was founded to help people to better manage their periods, sweat and incontinence without the need for disposable pads, tampons or liners. It's a more comfortable, dignified solution that is better for our bodies and better for the environment. Modi Bodi want to give all bodies more confidence, supporting everything from periods and discharge, to light bladder leakage and weak pelvic floors or even perspiration.
Flow: 50ml = 10 tampons, or 10 teaspoons
For: Very heavy periods, overnight or up to 24hrs* wear
Feels: Comfortable, secure and dry - all day and all night
Your Impact: Eliminate disposables, better for your body & the planet!
* The patent-pending Maxi-24hrs technology has been tested to hold up to 50ml per day, the average woman loses 2 to 3 tablespoons or 30-50ml of blood over 5 days.
How to use Modibodi in 4 simple steps:
Rinse. Wash. Dry. Repeat. It's that easy! And safe. And comfortable. And a gazillion times better for the planet than disposable tampons or pads.
Care Guide:
Step 1. Wash your Modibodi before wearing them for the first time. This will activate the technology in the gusset for maximum absorbency.
Step 2. Rinse in cold water after use <30° Do not soak, just rinse until the water runs clear.
Step 3. Cold wash (now or later) - In a delicates bag is even better (we sell mesh bags here)
Step 4. Hang dry. Reuse. Repeat! Go you eco warrior!
Step 5. Do not use fabric softener. This reduces the product’s function.
Let’s face it, periods are natural, normal and part of daily life – and yet for some they’re a source of stress, shame or stigma. Modibodi isn’t just about selling leak-proof underwear, it’s about giving it too. And so, in 2021, they’re ramping up their efforts to end period poverty through their Give a Pair program.
The Indonesian province of West Nusa Tenggara is one of the poorest in South East Asia, with significant clean water and sanitation challenges. Modibodi has partnered with Plan International and the United Nations WASH programme to help improve community health and hygiene. The pilot programme supplied 300 women with 1000 pairs in 2020, and they’ll supply underpants to a further 4,000 women in 2021.
It's estimated that over 100 billion menstrual disposables end up in landfill annually. Periods can be uncomfortable and wasteful, but the way you manage them doesn't have to be.
Modibodi has been named BEST PERIOD UNDIES by Glamour Magazine UK for 2021
Life changing! Bought these for my 13 year old and I/we cannot recommend them highly enough. She doesn't even think about her period during her day at school, even on a PE day!" Suzanne F.
