AWWA Period-Proof Underwear
AWWA does away with the need for wasteful single-use period products by creating period-proof briefs. This cheeky mid-rise brief is made from super soft organic cotton, and holds up to two tampons worth of blood while keeping a low profile.

 Fabric: 95% organic cotton, 5% elastane for stretch; inner: breathable PUL.

- Orla C.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoMost comfy and absorbent period undies
Feel so comfy. Used on heavy 1st day of period. No leaks, all day comfort. Only wish I'd bought sooner.
- Jo W.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoA pleasant surprise
I've been thinking about period undies for a while, and my friend raves about these so I tried them. They are so comfy, the sizing is great, and they work! I bleed heavy so normally have to sleep with a thick pad (as well as a cup), and am usually woken during the night because the pad is soaked. On my heaviest night, I didn't wake till morning, was surprised to see a dark outline of blood on the knickers but no leakage and no wetness. I'm impressed and wish I had got some earlier!

First time I have tried period underwear. Much more comfy then pass and no leaks even in my heavy bleed time.
