Kia ora, We're AWWA
AWWA is New Zealand's first period underwear brand. Indigenous founded & female owned, we're here to unpack the stigma around periods and reconnect menstruators to their cycle.
AWWA is derived from the Māori word 'awa' meaning river or flow. Māori referred to their period as te awa atua - the divine river. AWWA offers a world where every person can feel divine and empowered during their period
Made with care, for you & the earth
Whether it's the natural, organic and recycled fabrics we use, our toxin-free & ethical manufacturing, or our carbon-reduction strategies - AWWA aims to live by its social & environmental mission.
Verified reviews from AWWA FANS
OK, I have now tried four brands of owriod underwear with varying sucess. This pair feel snug and secure. The absorbency is great and they don't feel bulky around the butt which has been my pet peeve with other brands. LOVE. Recommending to everyone!
These are amazing. I’m well past the need for period panties but I wear these for catching the results of sudden sneezes or belly laughs. They are super comfortable and sleek. They don’t feel bulky in the least. Sitting in traffic and should have gone potty before you left, and it’s ragweed season? Nooo problem. I love these so much I ordered 5 more pair.Get ‘em. They’ve got ya.
These are my favourite panty from AWWA, and they work great for all but my heaviest days. The colour is gorgeous and ages really nicely as well.
I am peri menopausal so my periods come without a regular schedule. Your products are perfect to wear when I am working out of my house so if randomly my period arrives I am sorted. It allows me to concentrate on what I am doing rather than have the worry in the back of my mind that my period will arrive without warning.
FAQ
How do I wash AWWA period underwear?
Simply rinse in cold water, then wash on a cold cycle with your normal clothes. Hang to dry. Avoid fabric softener as it leaves a residue that inhibits absorbency.
Where are AWWA period underwear made?
AWWA underwear is made in two factories in Sri Lanka and China. Both our partner factories pay a fair wage and have processes and practices in place to reduce their waste output, and source sustainable fabrics.
How do AWWA period underwear work?
AWWA period-proof underwear look and feel just like your normal underwear, but can absorb menstrual flow and stop leaks, thanks to our innovative fabric technology.
A soft, moisture-wicking organic cotton top layer draws fluid away from your skin and into the super-absorbent core, while the breathable, waterproof barrier prevents leaks. Our anti-microbial technology keeps you fresh and odor-free, all day long.
