FAQs
How often should I change Modibodi period pants?
For moderate absorbency, you can typically wear them for up to 8 hours, similar to a pad or tampon. Change them sooner if you feel wet or uncomfortable, or if you have a heavier flow.
How do I wash my Modibodi period pants?
Rinse used period pants under cold water, then machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Hang them to dry.
Can I wear these overnight?
The moderate absorbency is suitable for many during the day. For overnight protection, especially on heavier nights, it's recommended to use a higher absorbency Modibodi style or pair with another menstrual product.
How long do Modibodi period pants last?
With proper care, Modibodi period pants can last for several years, typically 3-5 years, maintaining their absorbency and protective qualities.
Are these suitable for someone with sensitive skin?
Yes, the outer material is made from breathable bamboo viscose, which is known for its softness and hypoallergenic properties. The gusset includes Merino Wool, which is also gentle on the skin.
What does 'moderate absorbency' mean?
Moderate absorbency means the underwear can hold approximately 30ml of fluid, which is equivalent to about 6 light tampons. This is suitable for average to heavy menstrual flow days.
Can I use bleach or fabric softener?
No, bleach and fabric softeners should not be used as they can damage the fabric and impair the absorbency of the gusset layers.
Troubleshooting
Product feels damp after a few hours.
Ensure you are not exceeding the moderate absorbency limit (30ml). For heavier days, consider pairing with another period product or a higher absorbency Modibodi style. Check care instructions to ensure no fabric softeners were used, as they can impede absorbency.
Leaking Occurs.
Confirm the garment was washed before first use and is being cared for according to instructions. Ensure the correct size is being worn, as a poor fit can lead to leaks. For very heavy flows, consider adding backup protection.
Material feels stiff or less absorbent after washing.
Avoid using fabric softeners and harsh detergents, as these can degrade the fabric and reduce absorbency. Ensure the garment is dried by hanging and not exposed to high heat.
