How do period underwear work?
How do period underwear work?
Period/leakproof underwear works by using a combination of absorbent and waterproof layers to trap and lock in menstrual flow. The top layer wicks away moisture and keeps you dry, while the inner layers absorb liquid and the leakproof layer prevents leaks. Designed for comfort and performance, Aisle period underwear can be worn alone or as backup for other period products.

Amazing, I’m in love with them. It’s a game changer.
These are such lovely underwear! They look so cute on and the material is so soft and comfy! Seriously my favourite brand of period underwear! Love them!
Soft and comfortable bra. Great colour. Only disappointment is that there isn't much support or shape for a larger bust.
Amazing quality, super comfy
The fabric is so soft.
FAQ
How do Essential period underwear work?
Essential period underwear feature three types of fabric technology to keep you dry and comfy all day long.
The moisture wicking top layer draws fluid away from the skin and into the super absorbent core. Our leakproof lining stops leaks in their tracks while maintaining breathability, so you can bleed easy.
Do your period underwear contain PFAS?
We do not add PFAS to any of our products. In addition to using OEKO-TEX certified materials, which are tested for the presence of PFAS, we also conduct additional third-party tests. No detectable levels of PFAS have been found in our underwear, based on a detectable limit of one part per million.
How are Essential period underwear different from Boost and Super period underwear?
Essential period underwear are our thinnest, most lightweight option. Made with super-soft, breathable & sustainable fabrics like our other styles, and featuring an ultra-thin, all-in-one gusset design that absorbs 2-4 tampons worth of fluid depending on the cut. Essential period undies are recommended for light to moderate flow.
I have heavy flow. Are these the most absorbent period underwear?
The Essential Cheeky underwear provides 2+ tampons worth of absorbency for light flow. For heavy flow options, check out Super period underwear, or adjustable-absorbency Boost period underwear.
How do I wash period underwear?
Our period underwear were made to fit into your regular laundry routine. Just rinse the gusset in cool water before washing in the machine with your regular laundry. Avoid the use of fabric softener and bleach, as they can inhibit absorbency and cause the leakproof material to break down. Our undies are dryer safe, but we recommend hanging to dry where possible - it saves energy and prolongs the life of your undies!
