What Is the Right Absorbency for Me? Finding the Best Modibodi Period UnderwearUpdated 21 days ago

Selecting the right absorbency for your Modibodi period underwear depends on your flow and personal needs. Here’s how to find the best fit for you:

Understanding Your Absorbency Needs

The absorbency level you need is unique to you and your flow. Modibodi underwear is designed to be worn safely for up to 24 hours, but we recommend trying them at home first to see how they work with your flow and the absorbency level you’ve chosen.

Tips for New Customers

If you’re new to Modibodi, it’s a good idea to wear your period underwear at home for a day. This helps you understand how your flow interacts with our technology. Look for signs like the gusset or padding feeling wet—this indicates that the absorbent layers have reached capacity, and it’s time to change into a fresh pair.
