Times have changed when it comes to feminine hygiene products – from makeshift cloths and rolls of newspaper (still a daily reality in South Africa’s less privileged communities) to self-adhesive pads, tampons and panty liners.
Now eco-friendly underwear brand Boody has launched a game changer – a range of period and leak-proof panties made from its signature soft bamboo viscose.
Designed to keep you feeling fresh, comfy and confident, this easy to wash collection comprises a range of different panties that you can wear during your period, minus a pad or tampon. They are made up of absorbent layers to soak up blood and moisture-wicking layers to keep your skin dry.
With a choice of bikini and full briefs that are suitable for light to moderate and moderate to heavy flow as well as an overnight option, this is comfort and reassurance without harsh elastics to cut into your body or irritating panty lines.
They can provide peace of mind when at the gym or can even be worn with added protection for those engaging in tough sports or more strenuous activities.
Boody’s highly rated Period & Leak Proof underwear has been available worldwide for some time where it receives ongoing positive reviews. For example, the full brief for moderate to heavy flow is a hit because it is soft and wide, featuring a flat-ribbed waistband, high rise waist and full coverage for comfort and security on those heavier days. The overnight briefs absorbency is equivalent to four tampons or four sanitary pads – up to 20ml of liquid.
Since they are machine washable, with fast-absorbing leakproof technology, women who experience mishaps when they cough, jump or sneeze, will love Boody too.
After wear, simply give your panties a quick rinse and pop them in the wash. No more plumber’s bills for clogged pipes. This is also your chance to do your bit for the environment with fewer tampons and pads (and plastic packaging) making its way to landfills or even into our oceans.
The best news of all is that this is underwear that will even ultimately prevent leaks from your bank account! After just a few months, they’ll pay for themselves, saving on your monthly layout for single use, disposable products.
That’s a win on any day of the month!
They retail from R349.95 to R569.95. Visit www.boody.co.za
