When Aunt Flo comes a knockin’, these eco-friendly undergarments will show her who's boss!
It’s that time of the month again, huh? No matter how light or heavy your flow is or how intense your symptoms are, we can all agree that periods aren’t fun. Oh, and don’t even get us started on the pink tax. It’s frustrating to have to buy tampons, pads, and pantiliners—and even more frustrating when you think of the negative environmental impact these items have. That’s why we love all of the brands making sustainable period underwear! If you’re unfamiliar with these undergarments, they’re designed with absorbent, breathable, and antimicrobial layers. You can wear them solo or as extra protection with other feminine hygiene products to help you experience a more eco-conscious and comfortable period.

Modibodi also makes period swimwear, activewear, and sleepwear. So you can keep doing the things you enjoy without worrying about leakage! Their most sustainable products are the Biodegradable Full Brief and Bikini.
