The right absorbency for you will depend on your flow.
It’s really a matter for the individual to determine which absorbency is most suitable to their period and/or incontinence needs.

Our products have been scientifically proven for safe wear for up to 24 hours, but we do recommend testing them first to understand your flow and the absorbency option you’ve chosen.

For new customers, we recommend trying Modibodi at home for a day to better understand how your flow works with our technology, and for you to understand the key indicators for needing to change over to a fresh pair.

A helpful tip for changing over is when the gusset/padding begins to feel wet. Our top layer technology is designed to keep you feeling dry as it absorbs the liquid into the middle layers. The top layer will start to feel wet when the middle of the gusset has reached capacity, indicating the need to change to a fresh pair.

Some helpful info regarding our product absorbency can also be found here.

The Modibodi Moisture Wicking range include the Modifier Air Technology to keep you fresh and dry. The top layer is 100% superfine Merino wool which is soft and breathable, wicks away moisture and absorbs and locks away odour only releasing it when you throw your Modibodi in the washing machine. Regular underwear is often made of synthetics fabrics that don’t breathe, trapping moisture next to your skin which creates odour.

What makes Modibodi underwear better than regular underwear?
Modibodi underwear combines stylishly comfortable designs and state-of-the-art patented fibre technology to give super power protection against life’s annoying but very common bodily functions like sweat, light bladder leaks, menstrual onset, menstrual overflow/spotting, discharge, odour and breast milk leaks.
We guarantee your regular underwear cannot do that! When the correct absorbency product is purchased, Modibodi sustainable and leak-proof underwear can be worn as a total replacement to disposable products such as pads, panty liners, and tampons.

Our organic cotton is certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). GOTS is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibres, and stipulates requirements throughout the supply chain for both ecological and labour conditions in textile and apparel manufacturing.

Our garments are a reusable alternative to disposable menstruation and continence products.

By choosing to wear our patented Modifier Technology underpants and swimwear and you can prevent the thousands of panty liners, pads and tampons ending up in landfill or flushed into our waterways. The average woman will use 15,000 disposable menstrual products in her lifetime, and women with incontinence may use an additional 1,000 liners-pads per year.

By choosing to wear Modifier Technology Breastfeeding Bra and/or Cami you can also stop on average around 1,000 nursing pads (based on 8 pads per day used for 3 months) ending up in landfill for each child you breastfeed.

We choose to use high-quality fabrics that align to our Preferred Material Standard. Our Merino wool is sourced from Australian farms that are non-mulesed or who have ceased mulesing. Our organic cotton is certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). We use bamboo viscose and lyocell from Forest Stewardship Council certified suppliers and we use Global Recycled Standard certified recycled nylon.

As long as cared for properly, our garments can be used and worn just as long as regular underwear. Head over to our website here to see how much CO2 emissions you can save by switching to Modibodi.

Modibodi products do not contain any chemicals such as PFAS. PFAS stands for per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances and include (PFOS and PFOA). These manufactured chemicals are fluorinated compounds and used in a variety of products including stain resistant upholstery, non-stick cookware, paints, cosmetics, food packaging and more. They are heat, oil, stain and water resistant. Modibodi does not design products that require the functionality of PFAs or any dangerous chemicals.

Modibodi’s leak-proof absorbent lining is achieved through a combination of breathable, moisture-wicking and absorbent fabrics and specific sewing techniques. 

We follow a strict supplier due diligence process and regular health and safety compliance checks including spot tests for PFAs, while any treatments we use are Bluesign* APPROVED and ZDHC compliant.  Our fabrics and products are also tested to Oeko-tex Standard 100, which tests for per- and polyfluorinated alkyl compounds (PFAS) according to the OTS100 standard for PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) and salts as well as PFOA-related substances. 

Our Product and Sustainability teams use a tiered approach for traceability and oversight of the safety of our products.

Our Modifier Technology gussets are just under 3mm thin – so it’s really discreet under clothing. Our Maxi gussets are just under 6mm thin, a small difference to hold more than double the liquid!

Modibodi products are machine washable.  

We recommend washing on a gentle cycle, cold machine wash and hang to dry for a sun-kissed feel. 

Quick Tips: 

1. To maximize the performance of your garments, please give your Modibodi a good wash before your first wear. This will help activate the Modifier Technology in the gusset to ensure the product is absorbent.
2. Do not soak.  Squeezing the deposits out under the running water is much more effective, as soaking does not necessarily clear the gusset out fully. It is more effective to rinse under running water and then place them into the washing machine.
3. No fabric softeners and strong detergents e.g. stain removers, please! It breaks down the hi-tech function of our garments and also reduces the durability of the fabrics and trims, so they won’t last as long. 
4. No tumble-drying or exposure to high temperatures, please! Exposure to high temperatures can impact the technology in the gusset and also damage the Merino wool layers of the gusset/padding.
5. Use a laundry bag to wash your Modibodi garments. Natural fibres wash well, but don’t like zippers!
6. Once dry, store your Modibodi garments in a dry laundry bag for extra protection (just like your winter jumpers) – as they are made from natural fibres such as wool, little nasty bugs such as silverfish do like to take a bite!

As underwear is considered a delicate product, we strongly recommend following our care instructions to ensure you get the most wear out of your underwear.  

The lifespan of your Modibodi products is largely dependent on the wash and care of the garments.  

Underwear is considered a delicate product, so the elastic and thread may get damaged with wear and tear. 

Though wear and tear may appear this will not impact the effectiveness of the Modifier Technology built into the gusset of the product. 

No, if cared for correctly, your Modibodi garments won’t smell.  If left soaking for more than a few hours or stored when the undies are not yet fully dried, your underwear can end up smelling mildewy and musty.  

To remove the smell your underwear has, please dilute some white vinegar in a thin layer of water 1:3 (just enough to cover your underwear) and rinse out your underwear, ensuring you rub the gusset/padding. You can leave the underwear in this for a short period of time, but do not soak for a long period (no longer than 20 minutes). You can then place them in the wash and add some more vinegar to the wash load 1:5. For best results, hang them out under the sun and make sure that the undies are fully dry before storing them back in your drawers. 

This should combat any current odour present in your undies. You can also use eucalyptus in your wash load to further combat this. 

Blood and urine don’t have a strong odour. Sometimes vaginal fluid and bacteria can create odour – this is normal. To give you peace of mind, our Modifier Technology combats odour. The moisture-wicking gusset layer is made of 100% Merino wool which naturally locks away odour, only releasing it when you throw your Modibodi in the washing machine. For our products that don’t have Merino wool in the gusset, we use an anti-odour treatment to give you piece of mind your undies won’t smell. 

They sure are! Bleach-free zone here. 

As long as our care instructions are followed to the T, it should not stain. 

Our patented technology means every leak and odour is absorbed and won’t leak through! 

No stress here! If you suspect you’ll need to change during the day, we recommend grabbing one of our Modibodi Waterproof Bags to bring a fresh pair and then store your used pair in! It’s as simple as that. They’re the perfect size to fit in a handbag (or backpack) and are also super discreet. Just swap over to a fresh pair, pop your used Modibodi into the Waterproof Bag and don’t forget to rinse them out when you get home.  

Firstly, make sure that your Modibodi‘s are fully dry, and then you can just pop them in your regular underwear drawer. However, you can also store your garments in a dry laundry bag (just like your winter jumpers) – as they are made from natural fibres such as Merino wool, this will protect them further from little bugs such as silverfish. 

Absolutely, this is very important!

Not only for hygienic purposes (we all need to wash newly bought undies before use!) but also to maximize the performance of your garments.

Before your first wear, give your Modibodi/RED garments a wash as this will help activate the Modifier Technology in the gusset.

Yes! All of our products are great for sweat but in particular, our Modifier Air range was made for perspiration relief only. They are antibacterial, odour resistant and the top layer is moisture-wicking moving sweat away from your skin, so you can feel dry and fresh no matter how hot it gets.

No way, Modibodi has been rigorously and scientifically tested against all other reusable and disposable leak-proof products on the market and we are proud to say that we are the driest available. This means that providing you match our absorbency with your flow then you will remain dry and protected.

Modibodi underwear can be a total replacement for disposable feminine hygiene products (panty liners, pads, tampons) OR can work in conjunction with them. It’s all about knowing your flow, and which absorbency level suits you best. You can find out more information on our different absorbency levels here.

Yes, the seamfree style is purposely made smaller because the garment will stretch significantly after one wear. Once you wash and wear the seamfree garment you will notice it will mold to your body. If you need further help with help on this, please send us an email at info@modibodiwafrica.com
