How Does Period Underwear Work?
Typically crafted from a combination of moisture wicking and highly absorbent material on the inner layers and water-impermeable layers on the outer, any feeling of dampness or potential leaks are near non-existent.
Shapes and styles vary brand to brand but most, like pads and tampons, offer varieties of coverage according to your flow from light to super.

Hello Period
Hello Undies tick all the boxes offering cute, leak-free protection up to the same amount of liquid as five single-use pads or tampons. The biggest selling point though? They don’t have a layer of polyurethane plastic, which means they can be safely used in a tumble dryer and don’t make that awkward crinkle sound when you walk.
