AuntFlo period undies work by using a combination of specialised layers designed to absorb, wick away moisture, and protect against leaks. Here’s how these 4 layers of leak-proof protection function together:
1. Absorbent Layer (Closest to Skin)
-
Function: This layer is designed to absorb menstrual fluid quickly, keeping you dry and comfortable. It pulls moisture away from your skin, preventing any dampness that could cause irritation.
-
Materials: Made from a blend of cotton, bamboo, and other moisture-wicking fabrics, this layer helps to keep you feeling fresh throughout the day.
2. Moisture-Wicking Layer
-
Function: This layer moves any moisture absorbed by the first layer away from your body and towards the next layer, ensuring your skin remains dry and comfortable. It also helps prevent leaks by maintaining dryness and comfort.
3. Absorbent Core Layer
-
Function: This thicker, absorbent core is the key layer for preventing leaks. It’s designed to hold a significant amount of menstrual fluid, often equivalent to 2-3 tampons worth, and is capable of handling moderate to heavy flows without leaking through.
4. Leak-Proof, Waterproof Barrier Layer
-
Function: The final outer layer acts as a barrier to prevent any absorbed fluid from leaking through to your clothing. This waterproof layer ensures that you stay leak-free while moving, sitting, or sleeping.
How It All Works Together:
The combination of these 4 layers—absorbent, moisture-wicking, absorbent core, and waterproof barrier—ensures that our period undies keep you dry, protected, and comfortable throughout your entire period. They are designed to be worn on their own or as a backup to other menstrual products like tampons or menstrual cups for extra protection, especially on heavier flow days.
Thanks to the leak-proof design, you can wear period underwear with confidence, knowing you are well-protected throughout the day and night, even during activities like walking, sitting, or exercising.
