ModiBodi
We’ve decided to include ModiBodi here because if you haven’t been introduced to ‘period-proof’ underwear, you’re seriously missing out! And you’re contributing massively to landfill with the average women using almost 12000 tampons or pads in a lifetime.
Ethical and Sustainable practices: Whilst the ModiBodiwebsite does state that they use fair work factories, there isn’t a lot of information about it. They do however use sustainable materials including bamboo and merino (as the absorbency layer) but they do have also have a vegan range. In terms of the environment, they’re doing their part to reduce disposable sanitary products to reduce landfill.
Products: ModiBodi has a range of cuts and absorbency in their period-proof underwear. They also have a swimwear range and maternity range including maternity underwear and leak-proof maternity singlets.
