Look out world, period underwear changes everything!
Sep
Let’s break up with single-use period products… they never loved us anyway
Globally, women use and throw away 45 billion pads and tampons every year – and Kiwi women use 11,000 – 17,000 single use period products like pads and tampons in a lifetime.
The down-side of plastic-heavy period products isn’t just the impact on our planet either … tampon use is associated with Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), especially as tampons can cause microtears in the lining of your vagina which let germs in – and many tampons contain nasty dioxin bleach. Pads contain synthetic fragrances which are associated with negative health effects (see our blog post about this) and as much plastic as a supermarket shopping bag!
Then there’s the cost of buying single use products – a lifetime supply of 11,000 – 17,000 pads and/or tampons will reach a total cost of $16,000+. The monthly financial burden is even heavier for households with teenage daughters.
THERE’S A NEW WAY TO MANAGE YOUR FLOW
Introducing our favourite brands of period underwear, AWWA and Australian brand Modibodi:
HOW DOES PERIOD UNDERWEAR WORK?
In short, super easily! You slip them on and … that’s it! They have a soft inner layer to wick moisture away from your skin, then an absorbent layer, then a waterproof layer, then the outer layer of the underwear fabric. Ta-da! Comfort, style and reliability. Super easy to wash, just give them a quick cold rinse when you take them off, then wash them as normal in your washing machine. (No fabric softener though okay, it impairs the absorbent fabric technology.)
Reasons we love period pants are:
- So reliable – the 100% waterproof layer means no worries
- So comfortable and stylish – they look just like normal undies and the absorbent layer is very thin (very slightly thicker than a normal bikini)
- So perfect for a good night’s sleep – no leaks, no lying on your side, no loo breaks at midnight
- Ideal for teens – nothing to insert, no hygiene risk, no leaks and no worries
- Super for sports – jump, leap, run… period underwear have you covered. In fact, women often wear these undies when running long distance even if they aren’t on their period as they help stop sweat rashes
- A beautiful option for incontinence and ‘laugh leaks’ if your pelvic floor is a little weak right now
- Soft and snuggly option for post baby mumma’s … you can even chill them in the freezer for extra relief
- Period undies make travel so simple! No urgent roadside stops at dodgy loos, no sneaking double wrapped tampons into your host’s bin, just easy wear-and-go technology!
HOW MANY PAIRS DO YOU NEED?
An average period is 30-50 ml over an entire cycle of 3-7 days. A pair of period underwear from AWWA or Modibodi absorbs as much as two regular tampons. That means that over a normal cycle you would use 4-7 regular tampons or pads (fully soaked), or 2-5 pairs of period underwear (but hey, these get washed not thrown away!)
If you have a heavier flow on some days, or you just want extra-extra-extra reassurance that you are protected, you can pair your period underwear underwear with a menstrual cup or eco friendly tampons – we’re ALL about you feeling good about how you manage your period!
Single use period items are so expensive and a burden on our planet. I would love to try I Am Eva to reduce waste, and be more comfortable when on my period. No more itchy pads and icky strings!
S many reasons to try, better for the environment, comfort and no need to purchase products every month, save money
Builds confidence because I know I am safe and secure
Would love to be able to store wearing liners everyday 🤞🏼
I have tried all the other zero waste options and would like to add this option as well 🙂
I would love to win these for our teen daughter, Olivia!!!
I would love to try these as I don’t bleed enough now because of my contraception choices to use a tampon or pad but always have to use panty liners. These would be so great as I wouldn’t need to throw all that plastic away each time!
I’ve never tried underwear like this, so it’ll be good to give it a go and see hoe it goes.
I’m already using a cup for my period and would love to try those underwear as they can help me to be more aware of my periods. Thank you for this beautiful opportunity <3
I have never tried it before, only reusable pads. I’ve met you in the Go Green expo and I would be happy to try NZ made period undies !
PERIOD UNDERWEAR CHANGES EVERYTHING
I have always had trouble using tampons, and then when I tried the cup it wasn’t for me either so I have suffered through pads for years even though theyre uncomfortable, wasteful and even cause rashes, but now I might actually have a chance with these, really intrigued to see how they would go!
Would love to try these to be a bit more eco friendly! Due with a baby soon and i don’t think they’ll work right at the start but will be great when the flow gets a bit lighter as I’m sure my skin will be sensitive if i need to wear pads for 6 weeks! 😬
This would be the perfect addition to a menstrual cup for me! Continuing to use pads and liners is frustrating; this is the backup I need. And great to use a more local rather than an American brand. I’ve been considering ordering thinx from NYC but shipping products around the world has to be worse for the environment than excessive use of landfills, right?!
I just purchased one pair of underwear to try for light bladder leakage after one of my physio clients recommended it for this purpose and it’s a fantastic option to replace daily small pad use 👍👍👍
I would love to try these!
I’ve been keen to try these with my mooncup but can never seem to find the money to invest in them. I currently use cloth pads as a back up and find them bulky and annoying. These would be an amazing alternative!
I already use a menstrual cup but I’d love to try these as I think they’d be more comfy.
I would love to try these. I am unable to use a cup so this is the next thing to trial for me for a more eco friendly product that disposables pads.
I love the idea behind this and am all about waste free periods! It is awesome to see a local brand providing women with something to help them gain some confidence during our monthly’s!
I would love to try these please ,As I have to wear pads now ,as my periods are so much heavier since I had my tubes removed in April .
I am all about eco living, this sounds fantastic
Would love to try period underwear and stoked that they come in my size! Having menorrhagia and more environmentally friendly (and eventually wallet friendly) ways of getting through would be fantastic.
I would really like to try some because I’ve read mixed reviews of other brands, so I’m reluctant to fork out. I already use moon cup & cloth pads (but don’t like wearing cloth pads to work cos they are too sweaty to use)
PERIOD UNDERWEAR CHANGES EVERYTHING!
Awesome to try this more organic product as allergic to a lot of other alternatives. And also spend a lot of time outdoors tramping and camping so easier than rubbish!!!!
With all sorts of fun period related health stuff it would be awesome to have the peace of mind with some of these!
I would love to try these as I think they would be really useful for heavy days. I have a much heavier flow than what is described as normal and am always worried about leaking.
I would love to win a set of these! I dance, and while I find reusable pads are really good, they can shift a lot while I’m practicing. Period underwear sounds like the way to go for peace of mind!
Ever since I got my period 10 years ago, I have always been using pads and unaware of how much waste I have sent to landfills. I have a heavy period so it doesn’t take long to fill up my rubbish bin in one cycle! Ever since I started becoming more environmentally conscious the beginning of this year, I’ve been trying to play my part in producing less waste. I have been searching around for all types of menstrual products, I have tried the cup twice and still have not mastered it well. For now I am using Oi’s tampons, which are great as they are easy to use, however, due to my heavy flow i always have to put pads on especially the first few days or overnight. If i could get my hands on these underwear I could definitely stop buying pads and that would be awesome!
I’d love to try these, have tried a couple of overseas brands but would prefer to support local. I hate the paper products – they give me dermatitis flare ups. Have tried a cup but not had much luck with it
Would love to try them!
I would love to give these a try and stop using pads and tampons. They look like they’re comfy and I’d love to be able to suggest them to friends.
I’d like to try these, I have had minimal success with using a moon cup and being a mum to 4 growing girls would like to ensure they look after our planet while feeling comfortable during menstruation.
I have always been curious about period underwear, so would love the chance to try some out! And save the planet a little bit at a time!
I have one pair on the way and I love how they reduce waste while being comfortable and reliable! Can’t wait to try them!
I love these!! I would love to send some to my bestie who just had a baby last week, she needs some love and support!
I have 3 daughters and so I am fully aware of the cost to the environment one women’s periods can have on the environment. Also on our budget with 4 females menestrating in our family. Would really love to consider this for my teenage daughter so that she can have her period without worrying up leaks, still being able to do sports and diving (I don’t know if these are safe to swim in?), and get a good nights rest. Thanks for the info from an involved and intrigued dad of girls.
I use a menstrual cup but have a very heavy flow on days 1-3. I’m changing my cup every 30-45min and there’s can be major leakage if I don’t find a bathroom in time to empty it. I would really love to try these period underwear as a backup so that I can experience more peace of mind and confidence. Thank you for considering me.
I have three daughters, and I’d love to give them each a pair to try. We are on a sustainability journey and making significant progress. I think Eva undies would be a solid next step.
I really want to try and go waste free periods please
I would love to try these please because my current solution to ‘period undies’ is to wear my old holey undies with barely enough elastic left to keep them up. I have heavy flow and would love the peace of mind that these could give me – and especially take away the hassle of getting up during the night on shark week!!
My daughter is rapidly approaching puberty and I would love to have these for her first steps into adulthood. There is going to be immense pressure on her generation to fix the environmental mistakes of her forebears, and knowing there is an amazing waste free Kiwi brand taking care of their menstrual needs is a sizeable step in the right direction!!
I switched to a cup over a year ago with a bit of trepidation, best thing ever as it turns out…after a few cycles of getting my head (and body) around it. Have been so wanting to try period underwear for lighter days to compliment the cup – hard to choose though when there are so many brands available and all a fairly big $ investment just to try, gets confusing knowing where to jump in. Would be stoked to win these!
I’ve been using period undies for about 7 years now, only they’re an American brand and in need of replacing. I would love to support a kiwi brand and give my opinion on them since I would consider myself as an “experience” period undie consumer 😉
Plus I love how they are trying to end period poverty!!
Super keen to try, using a cup is great, but I go from super heavy to super light so have been eyeing up a pair for the second half of cycle.
Oh my gosh! Would love to try these out and see how they feel – no doubt if they’re amazing like I hope they are, I’ll probably swap out my entire drawer for a good set. I’ve always been sceptical, but so keen to try 🙂
I would really love to try I Am Eva to be more environmentally conscious! I have a menstrual cup but haven’t gotten it to work with me and it’s just not something I feel very comfortable using. Which sucks because I feel awful every time I buy a new pack of pads knowing that I’m contributing to waste. I think I Am Eva could be the product for me, but as a full time student it’s hard to save the money to buy a full cycle’s worth, so I haven’t been able to give them a try yet. I’d love to win the competition and get to start using them!
Would love to try the eco friendly alternative to single use pads!
Another way to reduce waste – working towards having 100% waste free periods seems pretty achievable.
I really want to give these a go as I am on a journey to becoming more environmentally conscious. I have tried two different cup brands and can’t seem to get them to work so this would be an excellent alternative, or would at least give me more confidence in giving the cup a go without having to use single use liners. Almost put this is my cart on my last Oh Natural order but wasn’t in the budget 🙂
I’ve been wanting to try period underwear for a while but just haven’t got the money to do so. I think they’d be awesome for work, especially on the heavier days when I end up feeling a bit uncomfortable wearing my larger sized pads, I worry people will see it through my trousers. I’ve read such good things about these and how comfortable they are and they’d totally eliminate the need to wear massive pads in public
I would love to try these not only for periods but because since having my second baby a couple of weeks ago, my pelvic floor isn’t what it used to be!
Firstly they look amazing, like first class lingerie, secondly the purpose they are fit for sounds intriguing. I think you get the whole package with these undies and I would love to be your number 1 customer for years to come
After having my baby, I’m focusing on reducing our single use products in our life. Menstrual cups aren’t practical in my working life so I’m keen to try these as a more practical option.
Wow I have never heard of these. They would be so liberating. Great for our environment as well. Extremely keen to try these.
I would love to win these! I have tried to reduce my period waste by trying a cup but it hasn’t worked for me. So would love to give these a go!
I use a cup and would love a little extra protection! Especially when working out!
I’d love to have a discreet and sustainable alternative to pads and tamons.
I hate how much waste is created with pads/tampons – would love to own some of these underwear to reduce my plastic usage and waste!
I’m allergic to disposables. I like my cloth pads but they do slip around if I do any movement. Very keen to try period underwear.
I would love to try these I’m currently pregnant about to give birth and the thought of post pregnancy bleeding scares me after our first kid I bleed for three months straight and that was a lot of pads and a huge cost when we just had a newborn and dropped to one income. These would be a life saver!!
Have been thinking g about trying these underwear for a while, very keen to give them a go.
This is the first time I have heard of these. What a brilliant idea. Saves money in the long run not having to buy pads all the time. Plus they look comfortable and the leak free part is a major plus esp for night time.
I’m on my period 10 days a month! I’d absolutely LOVE to try these. Thank you 🙏🏼
It would be great to get these for my daughter she has been thinking about buying them for a while. Great that they are local too !
I’ve wanted to try these but have been weary to make a big investment in them. I’d love to be able to try a pair before buying a full set.
Very keen to try these myself. I’ve been looking into these for a while but am yet to take the plunge. O feel these would be the next step in reducing my waste, helping the environment and also great for while travelling.
I’d love to try them, I hate using pads because of the waste factor but after having kids, there’s no other option that works for me. I’ve spent a small fortune on menstrual cups and I can’t use them either. I feel like these undies would be life changing for me!
Would love not having to set my alarm every two hours during the night to get up to change… and not having sore hips for lying on my sides… ugh the agony…. so I would truly love to try these please….
I’d love to try these to reduce waste, I hate throwing away so much every month, I’ve started using a cup but would love the backup peace of mind 🙂
Peace of mind! I use a moon cup and I love it but I still have to use regular tampons after day two, if I won these It would solve that issue and I would be helping the planet and the bank balance!
Would love to win these period panties, for my sixteen year old daughter, who is unable to use tampons, so has to wear bulky pads, which make her feel even more self conscious, then she already is!
Over the last year I’ve become more and more aware of the toxins we put on and in our bodies. Trying to slowly make changes to rid myself of those products that can cause harm, to myself and to the environment. Would love to give these a try so I no longer have to buy horrible tampons and pads!!
So keen to try these. Menstrual cups have been such a game changer and these sounds like the perfect backup.
I would love to win this for my daughter. I really want to encourage her to use products that are natural and healthy for her body. As a plus of course is that these are environmentally friendly too!
I’ve been wanting to try these for some time but the cost has held me back so far… This would be an awesome opportunity to finally give them a go!
PERIOD UNDERWEAR CHANGES EVERYTHING.
Oh I would looooove to try some. I do plan on sticking up once I’m back working. Currently down on one income post having my second baby and trying to find work.
But it’s hard and we are on a string tight budget. So those are a super luxury item we don’t have spare money for currently.
I love the idea that they are eco friendly, saves a lot of hassles and dollars in the long run. Would love to try! 🙂
Currently making the transition to waste free periods! I recently bought a period cup but really struggled with it – gonna take a bit of getting used to, so I LOVE the idea of period proof underwear for the ease & comfort!
Friends of mine have these bad boys and have all said how cosy and effective they are!
I’d love to have these at the end of periods when I don’t want to wear the menstrual cup. Also they look pretty and I wave to know how well they work. 🙂
I use cloth nappies full time and have recently converted to a cup but while I sort out exactly which is the right cup for me I’m getting leaks and end up using a pad as back up. These would be a way better option!
Oh and the cloth nappies are for my kids not me haha!
A friend has recommended period panties to me before, and it would be amazing to be able to give them a try!
Would love to win some for my daughter who is super sporty. Menstrual cups and liners aren’t always the easiest. Some days your body just goes year-nah. Would love to make her life easier.
Keen as a bean to try these as I only use pads and to go period waste free would be awesome!!!
Interested to try these, thank you
I’d love to try these! I currently use a mooncup and have an array of reusable cotton pads, but need something with more coverage for night time!
Period underwear changes everything! I’d love to win these, been trying to cut down on all things plastic and toxic and throwing out the pads for good is the next step! 🌍
I would love to try these, even though I am nearing the end of my monthly cycles(good? bad? Undecided). And, these undies look soooooo good!
I like the idea that you are not only reducing plastic waste, and buying into consumerism, but you’re also reducing the exposure of chemicals against your skin and reducing the common rashes that you’re left with at the end of your cycle. Post baby I’ve been left with heavier cycles, that typically take longer to finish so I’m all for trying a system that benefits both my self, my future and the environment and I hope this leads to normalizing periods.
I would love to try these, I have wanted to for ages. I have used tampons and a cup but always felt more comfortable with a pad but want to be more environmentally friendly!
Period underwear change everything!!!
I currently only own one pair of period underwear. That one pair makes me feel free and comfortable for one day of my otherwise horrible period.
I’m so keen to try these! I’ve heard so many wonderful things about them, but they are still definitely an investment to start with. I’ve tried the cups and haven’t loved them. I currently use cloth pads, but I’m super sporty and they are so not practical or comfortable. Maybe these undies are the solution?!?
I recently bought some pairs of Modibodi maternity underwear and they have been a game changer for my pregnancy, they are super comfy, absorbent, and all I want to wear. I also want to purchase a couple more and some post-birth options so would absolutely love to win this prize! Highly recommend!
Being in the outdoors all day every day is mostly a blessing…until that time of the month… and then you just wish you were in an office!!
These would be a game changer for me
I haven’t been able to go back to tampons since my son was born so these would be handy, I’m a bit sensitive to EVERYTHING lol.. Also curious to see how these work on a heavy flow! x
Yes please! 😍💕 I’d love to try I have Endometriosis and very sensitive skin so tampons are a no go and pads are difficult on my skin 😔
I would love to try these out, to have a waste free period. I find my reusable liners too thick and warm, so I think these would be much closer to just wearing normal underwear, especially the first few days when a bit of back up is reassuring even if I’m using a cup
Would like to try this interesting product and help out in reducing use of disposable pads. Love to patronize these kind of products that support the conservation of our earth. Kudos to the team!
I would love to try these for my incontinence. Laughing, coughing and sneezing are a nightmare.
I would love an opportunity to try this! I hate the though of periods being associated with waste. I’ve been using a menstrual cup but would love something more comfortable to sleep in.
Yes please!!! I would love to try this as I cant use tampons or a cup and sometimes my period comes out of nowhere so these undies would be so helpful.
I would love to try these as I have really long periods so I have to spend a lot of money on sanitary products. 🙏🏻❤️
I’ve been wanting to try these for so long as an option for lighter days when I can’t be bothered with a cup!
I would like to try these to see if they work as well as I’ve heard they do and so I can start using a reusable alternative.
This makes so much sense, I’m so excited these are on the market now!
I’ve bought these for my daughter and they’re fabulous! I’m being forced through menopause through chemotherapy, but after 3 beautiful babes I could sometimes do with these…
It looks like an easy way to minimise my impact on the environment and also much less of a learning curve than a menstrual cup!
I’d love to make the switch to fully reusable products – a cup didn’t work for me but maybe these are the answer
I love the idea of these – would love to try them, all about reducing waste.
I would love to give these a go, they seem like great planet and cost saving idea but I have no idea how they would work – on the fence until I try them
My period is super light, so light that the cup is already too much so I’m keen to try these undies and forget all about periods!
I keep seeing them and I love that they are a NZ company created by women who are fighting against period poverty💪🏻 Also wanna help reduce waste and save our beautiful planet😊
Would love to try these now I’m done having kids. Hoping they are as good as everyone says they are!
I would love to win these as I have been wanting to try them. Being a solo mum and needing to save money where possible,these would be brilliant for my mate!
I think period undies are the future and I want to get on board!
I already have one pair and would love a few more pairs as spares 🙂
No uncomfortable pads or tamponswhile help saving the environment – yes please!
I have 1pair and I need more in my life! Total game changer!!! I have endometriosis and my period underwear works as extra security in case of a ‘heavy rush’ during my period. I also use a cup and these are much more comfortable to wear with my cup than pads are
I would love to own these undies! I want to feel like my period is just part of living another day. I don’t want my period to feel like a burden on the environment, my expenses and my lifestyle. These are such a great invention!
I’d love to find a more sustainable way of managing my period. I’ve tried a cup but found it awkward to manage plus my flow is quite light for half the time making it less suitable. These ‘I am Eva’ undies look like they might just work 🙂
I would love to get Miss 15 into some good eco friendly habits and she’s really keen to give it a go!
Unfortunately a cup (or anything else worn internally) isn’t an option for her and she doesn’t like they way reusable pads button underneath. I’m really hoping period underwear is the perfect solution for her.
I’d love to try period underwear, I have al says been a tampon user, but am trying to live more sustainably by reducing all single use product. I also get irregular periods and get caught out. With period underwear I could wear them leading up to my period as an insurance policy, unlike tampons.
Whoops- should be “always” been a tampon user 🤣
I’d love to give I Am Eva a go because I have endo which means really painful and heavy periods. Using anything internally irritates and causes more pain 😞
Oh I’d love to win these! I’ve just starting using a cup after getting my period back Post baby. Total game changer! Next step – period undies for night time!
Ive been wanting to try these for ages! Just have not been able to afford them yet, so winning them would be perfect!
Menstrual cups are great but how good would it be to bleed freely!
These would be so great for when you think your due to start your period as better alternative to liners. Also as backup on heavier days. Would love to try these out 🙂
I’m just about to give birth and these will be amazing to recover in!! Xxx
I have recently started using a cup with cloth liners as back up especially on the heavy days, but the liners always wriggle back when I go for long walks! I would love to try period underwear and will eventually buy some for my daughters when the time comes.
I have a heavy flow and have always leaked at night at least once during my monthly. It makes me have really anxious sleeps and I wake up exhausted. It’s also embarrassing when I stay over anywhere that’s not my own bed ☹️ I’ve not purchased any period underwear yet because I’m terrified it won’t work for me, but I’d love to win some to try out!
I would love to try another alternative to zero waste period products. I recently bought a hello cup and still find myself needing a panty liner with it.
Interested and intrigued to try these! I’m a newish moon cup user and it would be great to take it one step further by ditching the need for liners etc
I would love to win these to pair with my cup. Would be really happy to reduce my pad use to zero. Thanks for the opportunity!!! 💕
Would make living with prolapse just a little bit easier.
These I Am Eva would be a game changer for me! I’m ditching single use plastic and love using Eco friendly products and also fit my family of 5 budget! They look comfy and pretty so it’s a win win.
Always keen to try new feminine products
I’ve always been curious to try periods undies but have been putting it off due to cost (and uncertainties about how well they work). My moon cup leaks a lot (I have extra heavy periods) and I end up having to use pads, so the point of a moon cup is defeated. These undies would be so cool to try and would be another tool in my “waste free” arsenal. Great giveaway!
I’ve used a cup for 12 years+ but haven’t tried period underwear yet! I feel like these would be perfect for overflow/light days. Really keen to try them out and see how they feel
This would be excellent! I’m really keen to use period underwear for postpartum in a couple of months. This would be so much nicer than the million pads it feels like are needed! And then going forward it sounds like they’ll make life easier, especially at night!
Would love to use something that’s a natural alternative
Really keen to try them to cut back on waste but also to help me be less paranoid about leakage!
Hi I would like my daughter to try them as she would love too.
These would be great to try and something I’d love to recommend to clients as an alternative to a menstrual cup
I do a lot of outdoor work and while a moon cup is awesome a bit of leakage can happen and it’s not nice carrying pads for many days in your pack…! Also a friend has these and rates them highly!
I would love to try and have an environmentally friendly option for my daughters when their time comes.
So love to try a more natural product that is not disposable and good for the environment
I would love to try these with my cup. Also on the days leading up and ending would be really handy 🙂
My daughter is coming to this age and I am wanting to get her some of these. I am jealous of her having all these amazing options I didn’t have as a young girl.
I have three daughters, would like to save on sanitary items and give them a pair each!
Curious as to how they work. Would feel pretty wonderful wearing these with my cup – White pant allowed!
Want to try anything that will lead to less toxic and unnatural materials in my body and less plastic being used!
I am trying to rid of any products I can that go to landfill, find great alternatives to things I need to use and then tell other people about the awesome products and get them doing the same!
I’m all for reducing waste, and removing toxins from my body and planet. This is a great step forward.
I would love to win a pair for me and my mother as we both would definitely benefit from this amazing product! She has always had an issue with normal pads etc and always worrying about leakage but this under wear sounds like it is from the period gods! Haha definitely would love to own a pair and win a pair for mama xx
I’d love to win these to ditch the pads for good! I’ve been a cup user for a few years now, but need that back up on the heavy days. These would have me set!!!
I have last week was the first time I used a moon cup to save the environment and my pocket, and I LOVE it! But it made me realise that I still use panty liners which is my next elimination step and these undies would be purrrfect!!! I would like to gift a pair to my soul sister too! <3
I’ve been wanting to try these for ages! I’ve been changing my ways to help the environment this year!
These would make my difficult periods so much more bearable and no more staining the sheets on my heavy nights!
I would love to give these to my daughter. xx
I have these an absolutely love them! If I won, I would give these to my mum 🙂
Would love to give these to my daughter to save her money and to support the environment. 🙂
Bought one pair and I love them! Would love to be able to afford more so I could have a completely waste free period!
It would be great not to have to worry about pads, save some money and last but not least help the environment.
Interested to try these! Would be awesome to not have to buy tampons and pads which would also reduce waste as well as the chemicals and nasties found in tampons!!!
I would love to try these, I have recently started looking at alternatives to single use period waste and these look like the perfect night time wear or for those evenings or meetings where I dont want to be stressed or worried about leaks!
These would be great to reduce in our household full of girls!
Having period proof undies would be such a stress relief especially at school so you don’t have to do the awkward pull the pad out the bag 🙂 Would love a few pairs of these as such a great eco option!
Love to try these! Already use a moon cup but these look much more stylish than my old period undies.
I’ve just ditched the traditional pads and tampons, for a menstrual cup and I am delighted! The only thing is that on the light days of menstruation, I don’t want to wear it, I also don’t want to wear panty liners cause they’re equivalent to pads. Therefore I NEED something like this for the light days and nights!
I love my period undies. I wear them as back up to a cup or when my flow is light. The I AM EVA underwear look stylish and comfortable. I would gift these on to my daughter when she starts her period.
Would love to give these a whirl 👌
I’ve just gotten my period back only 3 months after having a baby so I would love to try these out in the hope of #nomoreleaks
Keen to try an environmentally friendly option to go with trying a cup.
Would love to win a pair to use in combination with my cup. Be great in the days leading up to my period when I’m a bit paranoid about getting spotting and a backup to my cup on the heavy days especially when I’m at the gym.
Period underwear changes everything. I like the fact that they are eco friendly on the environment,
and helps with incontinence also. I would love a set of these.
Trying to be kinder to the environment and myself. That would be a perfect alternative.
So excited about this product! Would love to try as I transition to a waste free life:)
I would love to try these! I have heard so many great reviews and think it’s such a fantastic idea, the perfect lazy girls way of getting through her period!
I keep seeing them and I love that they are a NZ company created by women who are fighting against period poverty💪🏻 Also wanna help reduce waste and save our beautiful planet😊
Wow I’m impressed. These sound like the perfect solution. Would love to try, especially with 3 Daughters approaching this stage soon, it would be great to be armed with knowledge and experience to coach them into environmentally sound choices of their own. I’m thinking they’d feel more secure with options like this
Sorry I accidentally sent through another comment and now Ive had the original deleted, I’d love to enter please 😁 can you pop it back on? Thanks
Period underwear changes everything! I’m currently in the beginning of my journey into more environmentally appropriate/friendly products. I’ve made the switch to a bar shampoo, reusable razor and razor blades. I feel like I am making a difference, but each time my time of the month comes around, I am not using products that are environmentally friendly. I want to explore the period care that is on offer, but as a University student it is hard. Is it rent or is it reusable period underwear? The rent always wins. So the I am Eva giveaway would really help me find my feet in more environmentally friendly period care when my time of the month comes!
Would love to try these because they would make my Journey to less waste so much easier. I really appreciate companies who bring excitment back to our Periods. Go I AM EVA <3
My periods became awful after my second child, but menstrual cups have made life bearable (woohoo, I love them!). But I still need pads, which don’t ever feel great (disposable or reusable!) so I’d love to try these pants and hopefully feel more comfortable in my skin again at that time of month.
I’ve tried these and they are great, but I’d love to win this for my daughter so she can use them right from when her periods begin.
I’ve been reading about period underwear a lot lately. So eager to try these sustainable solutions
I love this idea. I use a moon cup currently and would consider swapping to period proof underwear but it’s hard to find underwear that fits me just right. Would be willing to try though!
After having a baby my period changed. She comes in quickly and heavier than ever before. To have that insurance that I’m covered and can still get on with my life as normal is everything!
Would love to win and try out these amazing sounding undies! They look so comfy plus would mean I could stop using tampons and pads win win!
Would love to try these and become period waste free!
Been wanting to try period underwear for such a long time but have been deterred by the price. I use a cup but sometimes you want that back up protection or sonething less of a hassle. Would love to try I am Eva and support a local business.
I have three daughters and my eldest is nearing the age where periods begin. I’d like to try these to see whether this would be a viable option for me to buy for my daughters to start using when they get their periods.
I would love love love to win these. Am currently pregnant with number 2 and you know what lovely things happen when you are pregnant 😏 extra mess and I don’t want to use any disposable liners. Would also be so handy for after baby comes as a back up to all the blood that usually finds it’s way around your after birth nappies 😂 also to pair with my amazing HelloCup once everything gets back to normal.
Thanks for the opportunity xx
To reduce waste in our landfills
I am really excited to try these out with my moon cup. So glad that these more sustainable options are becoming available and cant wait for them to be mainstreamed and the norm.
I would love to give these a go. Full confidence while wearing a moon cup. These will be birthday presents for all my girlfriends and their daughters
I would love to win these and compare how they perform when I’m mountain biking and doing yoga against my cup.
I’m pregnant of my first child and it would be great to win for my laugh leaks at the moment and for the post baby later on 🤰🏻👼🤞❤️
Would love to try these. Cups don’t seem to work for me, so have been trying reusable pads. I’m sure these would be so much easier to use though
I am currently in my 3rd trimester with my second child, and as with the first, bladder weakness is an issue. Period underwear didn’t exist when I had my first child, and now that I have discovered I Am Eva, i have purchased a pair already for my second pregnancy & they will be great for postpartum gym workouts. I found going to the gym after my first child showed just how weak my pelvic floor muscles had gotten & I had to wear a pad, and felt it was very bulky and could be seen through my gym leggings, so I always felt insecure. Thank goodness for I Am Eva undies! They will be a staple in my life now
Would love to gift to my sister to help her on her reusable journey
I love that we moving in the right direction towards the reduction and education of waste that is generated by that time of the month. I even feel because of the changes in what is available to woman, we are talking about it more openly, and creating less stigma that it is a taboo topic.
I’m pleased about the role period underwear is playing in this development, and what it means for future generations of woman.
I love my pairs of period underwear by I Am Eva! They are a perfect alternate to my menstrual cup, especially for night time wear, or doubling up on protection against leakage.
All the more special that we can purchase these products from NZ and Aus innovators!
I have been trying to convince my sister and friends to make the jump to period underwear.
Fantastic, a world changer
Was thinking of trying reusable pads for the lighter days instead of my menstrual cup, but period undies sound way better! Would love to try
I would love to win these for my best friend. She’s so sensitive and has trouble with all other alternatives.
I would love to try these. After childbirth I have had a bad prolapse which means using a cup isn’t an option for me but making environmentally free choices is so important. However I’m lifted by finances. I would love to be chosen to try these out!
I am always looking for ways to care for myself that is also good for our environment. Very keen to try period undies.
I’ve tried your high waste ones and would love to try the other ones. 🙂
Would love to win these as I love eco alternative and trying to make the switch in as many areas of life as I can.
I’ve never had luck with tampons, I’ve tried the cup to reduce waste but same issues as I had with tampons 😞 I’ve been using pads instead but often get a rash from them also, these would be so cool to try I’m interested to see how they go!
These sound amazing!! Both my daughters & myself would be very keen to try.. 🤞🏼😁
I would love to try period underwear! It would be wonderful to not feel guilty about my impact on the environment when I have my period.
We started using cloth nappies for our babies so it would be hypocritical for me not to use period undies! I’d love to use these to continue my journey to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future for us all!
I would like to win as i get my period roughly every two weeks 🙁 This unfortunately adds up to a lot of waste & while i have tried using a menstrual cups, i much prefer the idea of period underwear!!!
I would love to give these a try, would work so well together with my cup
Just perfect for the shift into more mindful consumption and away from the single use mentality. I’ve been wanting to give it a go, but seems like quite a decent investment when I’m still a little unsure. Always up for trying something different though!
So keen to try these out and then hopefully my daughter will find them great when the time comes!
My period should not be to the detriment of the environment. 🙌
PERIOD UNDERWEAR CHANGES EVERYTHING.I find the hassle and expense of disposable sanitary products a pain. With heavy monthlies and not able to use a moon cup, I’m really keen to try this underwear. Also think they would be brilliant for my daughters when their time comes.
I’d love to try these because I’d love to have a zero waste cycle, and (I’ve tried a cup and) it just wasn’t for me. I’d love to have some first hand experience with these as i’m a mum of two girls too.
I’m so trying to be environmentally friendly and slowly moving away from plastics and disposables, would love to give these a try!
I love that I Am Eva are eco friendly and can be washed over and over making them a perfect option for going single use plastics free, helping our monthly budget for a family of five and they look amazing and comfy too! Win win win
Less waste going into the land fill the better and also saving money from not having to buy sanitary items amazing!!!!
I have very heavy period. It is an agony for me to always have leaks and it is really upsetting. Would love to try this amazing product. Thanks for the fantastic chance.
I was never a fan of tampons, and I really want to stop using pads for the sake of our planet. I would really love to try these period undies as I feel they will be the way to go for me – reusable, comfy, leak free, what more could you ask for!
Reusable, and the period undies look stylish and comfortable – I’d love to share this prize with my niece.
Id really love to give up tampons and be more enviro friendly but unfortunately cups just dont work for me, ive been really wanting to try these but just cant afford them at the mo!
So many reasons… comfort, for the gym, a worry free sleep, reusable. I’ve been wanting to get some but the initial $ outlay is stopping me at the mo.
Would love to try these as a back up to my menstrual cup.
Would love these as I have three girls all coming up to teenage years so I would like them all to start on reusable products
I would love to try these for menopause would help me alot
I’ve recently come off birth control…experiencing my natural cycle has given me so much love and respect for my body. I’m so keen to try 100% natural products & keep my body comfy & healthy.
I would love to try these as I’m trying to cut down on the amount of plastic I bring into our house. Plus they sound way nicer to deal with than pads and tampons!
Would love love to try these. This new way of sealing with a period is defined something I’d like to give a go.
More sustainable! 🌿🌸
I’ve already made big changes to reduce my waste/plastic and have looked at period underwear so many times but haven’t been brave enough to take the plunge yet!
Would love to win so I could have these as a backup to my menstrual cup instead of disposable liners!
I still havent had my period since giving birth back in jan so would love to give these a whirl when it does decide to come along.
I need this in my life
Would love to try some as an alternative, particularly at night time when I want to be as comfortable as possible, or at the end of my period when just some light protection is needed!
Suffering from endometriosis for years my life has come to revolve around my periods and trying to manage them. Would love to try these as an alternative to the other products out there which just remind me all the time that I have my period.
I am really done with pads and tampons, so much easier just to wear comfy underwear and not to worry about leaking, not to say how much money it’ll save and so good for keeping environment safe
Good for the environment ✔️ Comfy & easy to wear ✔️ Less messy than pads, cups or tampons ✔️ Sign me up!
Would love to try these. I already use a cup but the first couple of days of my period are really heavy so would like to wear these as a back up!
A friend swears by these so am very entrigued to try. Also big +++ for the environment 🙏
I would love to see if these really do work and whether they keep you feeling fresh! I hate tampons and pads so would love to find an effective, eco-friendly alternative. Small please!
I recently started using silicone cup and loving it. It’s great especially when I go out for work or exercise. But when I am home I try not to use it. So I want to try this period underwear!
Wow would love to try these – am currently moving towards a more waste-free lifestyle supporting small scale local businesses and these would be perfect! Plus I’m in need of new underwear!
I would love to win some to send back to the uk for my sisters to try. I won some a couple months ago & have found these great, easy to use & lovely to know less rubbish created. Thanks
These would be great back up on heavier days or to use alone if light. Would love to see how well they work. And at least no-one would be the wiser when there drying on the washing line 🙂
It would be wonderful to win these for my daughter.
I like how there contain no bleach or fragrance like tampons and pads. As someone going through ivf I like to reduce the amount of chemicals in my body. Can’t wait to try them!
Would love to win these, i love my menstrual cup but these would be good for those days I’m waiting for my slightly irregular period that can come a few days late sometimes, so i dont have to use the cup as a “just in case” when I got out places
I purchased one pair to try and I’m absolutely convinced. Would love to win this so I can have an entire waste free period and also share a pair or two with my best friend so she can become a convert too!
100% natural and sustainable, super keen to try!
would love a more eco friendly option
I purchased one pair to try and I’m absolutely convinced. Would love to win this so I can have an entire waste free period and also share a pair or two with my best friend so she can become a convert too!
“Period underwear changes everything” I’m a convert I love period underwear and I’m looking to set my young daughter up with her own, she will have a far easier time adjusting to her period then I did!
I love This, the idea of sticking something up my you know what like a plug just hasn’t appealed in many years and pads are just so uncomfortable. This is the way of the future!
This would save so many products ending up in the landfill. Would love to try as an alternative!
I would love to win these for my teen girls so much better for their health and with 2 of them it costs a fortune every month.
I deeply love free bleeding! On my moon time I free bleed at home on the papatuanuku & or a towel. I also use a menstrual cup so I store my blood for new moon rituals. Have always wanted to try period panties. 🙏
I would love to win for my teen daughter who with special needs can struggle with managing her period. I love the fact they are fuss free and don’t put waste into landfill – so brilliant.
I am really paying more attention to what I put in my body and toxic tampons just have to go. Would love to try these!
I’ve tried reusables (two types) and they just don’t suit me so far. I’m struggling to find a decent environmental option.
Would love to try a eco friendlier option to tampons. Have briefly tried the cup but not confident yet. These undies look comfortable too.
I want to try so when my daughters become of age I’ll know all about and have an environmentally friendly option they will be comfortable with to offer them.
I’ve tried reusables and they just don’t suit me so far. I’m struggling to find a decent environmental option.
Big fan of moon cups already but these seem even better… definitely want to try!
Soo keen to try these! Great back up for the moon cup!
I’ve tried reusables and they just don’t suit me so far. I’m struggling to find a decent environmental option.
I use cloth pads for over a year but would love to try these another eco alternative
Would love to give these fabulous alternative period undies a go. I like the old adage ‘you’re never too old’ to make great changes for ourselves & the environment
Have heard good things about these!
We’ve not long moved to a house with a sewage tank and tank water, slowly trying to change habits to produce less waste. I need a new option for that time of the month x
I have changed over to period underwear and will never use disposable sanitary products again. I would love to win this for my daughter before she starts her periods.
Would love to try these! With no harsh chemicals or toxins what’s not to love
I love that they are a waste free alternative ☺️
I want to be as waste free as possible and these would be ideal!
I have been using cloth but would love to try these as an alternative
I love my period cup, but when I’m not so heavy, I would love to try another alternative so I don’t have to use the cup all the time
I love to be confident that I’ll never leak again and don’t have to worry about harming the environment!
Never tried and so keen to give them a go! Would be great to have more reusable and comfortable products!!
I have heavy Periods and it would make me day not worrying about embarrassing Leaks and stains and going to toilet to check and change my pads.
Feel so much more free without a pad or tampon!! <3
Would love to try these! Would get rid of the uncomfortable feeling of tampons and the unsightly bumps of pads.
I would love to try these, they sound great!
I would love to try these, I’ve heard good things from friends about other ones they are using!
They sound like a great way to make your period a bit more comfy and care-free! Would love to give them a go.
I’d like to Try these Undies because I want to do my part for the environment and eliminate plastic and stop giving all my money to big Companies Such an Innovative Product…I want in! ☺
So interested in these! Would love to try them. Sounds like a great investment!
Would love to try as an alternative to my lunette cup and so I can keep trying to live the plastic free life!
With 4 daughters (ages 18 to 10), traditional period product will cost the earth, pun intended and us a small fortune. That aside I think it’s a matter of social justice to have period wear that allows our monthly flow to do just that and not be putting toxic products into what I consider to be a sacred space.
Love the idea of an easy alternative to pads to use with a cup!
I’m dying to try these!! I hate the idea of throwing away pads and these would be so handy for when I’m doing really long shifts at work and need back up.
These look good. Would love to try them.
Would love to try these environmentally friendly period underwear so I can do my bit to help our environment.
Also, recently I had become quite sick which stopped my periods for a while so from then on I have become very vigilant in what products I use, wear and what I eat, so many people don’t realise how dangerous most products are for your health and especially when it involves your reproduction system. This is such a great idea!
as 100 % natural is far better for all
Would love to try them because its waterproof and won’t leak!
I’d love to try these as I’d love an alternative to tampons and cups.
I’d love to try these as I’d love an alternative to tampons and cups.
Better for the environment and comfort and protection when I need the help every month 🙂
They look super comfy and who wouldn’t want to try… in combination with moon cup I would use less liners when flo is here
I would so love this. Pads suck and I find tampons really uncomfortable (which puts me off trying moon cups too.) I’d love to have some comfy (and pretty sexy looking) underwear to wear instead!
I would love to try these. I have two girls and we try to show them the most sustainable lifestyle possible. It would be great to normalise reusable menstrual products for them, so when the time comes for them to need them, they can think of them as completely normal.
I don’t use tampons or a cup, pads only and I would like to try Eva period underwear so I can stop using disposable pads which contribute massively to our waste problem. It would be great to produce no period waste products! 🙂
Mooncup just doesn’t work for me and looking for more eco options
Mooncup just doesn’t work for me and looking for more eco options
I would love to try these to pair with my Hello menstrual cup and for when I know my period is due but hasn’t started so that I know I’m protected when it starts
Kia ora! I am totally sold with the I Am Eva undies and am going to purchase when I can (bank account as ‘yess’). I currently use the mooncups but do experience leakage when sleeping, so a pair of these bad boys would solve aaaaall problemos.
Whakaaro rangatira! (Amazing idea!)
I have recently purchased i am eva undies to try out and I love them! So keen to get more, so I have to last me all the time.
Would love to have a more sustainable monthly experience
Can’t understand how entirely they work but how amazing would that be?! Would love to try them. What a cool concept 💚
I would like to try period underwear as I have heard such great things – want to try for myself and do my bit for the environment!
What a great alternative to throwaway products. Great for the environment and they look like great wee undies too!
Man iv been really really wanting to try these – I usually use a cup, but super heavy nights always mean leaks so I reckon these would be brill for that!
Period Underwear Changes Everything ! This would be fantastic to minimise my monthly waste with sanitary items & also to feel comfortable & safe wearing them! Have heard good things! Keen to try!
No more worrying about what my daughter uses for her periods and no toxic shock scares either plus of course cost ad waste of resources
I would actually like to win some for my daughter’s because with 3 of them period waste doesn’t take long to build up so this would be amazing x
Would love try as a way to reduce waste and to help manage heavier flow especially when travelling.
Would love try as a way to reduce waste and to help manage heavier flow especially when travelling.
Would love to try these for myself and my 2 teenage girls – what a great alternative:-))
So keen to be more environmentally friendly!
Soooo keen to try these. No more fear of leakage!! It could be a complete life changer.
would love to try these – I have three teenage girls as well – so with four of us, there is a lot of waste. Would love to see how these work and how confident we are in them – then could look at reducing our monthly wastage.
These would be for my daughter who has just started her period. We pride ourselves in reduced waste and this is one more way we can support the environment!
I would actually love to win this for my 14 year old who has horrendously heavy periods, I have had to collect her from school twice because they have been so heavy. I would love for her to try these and if they gave her some peace of mind during her periods that would be amazing.
I would love to win this competition for my sister! In the next year she’ll be living in a hostel and traveling overseas a couple of times doing aid work. Most sustainable sanitary options would be too impractical for her in these contexts however these undies would be perfect!! She’s been wanting to give them ago but they are out of her price range at the moment. Thanks for considering my entry!
Just had my first pēpi, would love to try these once my period comes back!
Would love to try these to save some money long term now I’m on maternity leave
I’m a full time driver so don’t often have the convinience of a bathroom when needed. They would be great to use, especially as a backup to my cup on heavier days
Seem such a good idea, would love these for my granddaughter as have come too late for me!!
Would be great to go for a natural alternative and not ruin anymore knickers I have
I’ve always wanted to try these after switching to re useable pads. Always keen to try and help the environment.
Definitely keen to try to reduce waste !!
I travel often to areas of the world where toilets and clean water are difficult to come by. I would love to be able to reduce my waste while travelling and at home through combining these and my moon cup as well as not having to worry as much when travelling bumpy roads for hours and hours.
I also love that these options are becoming available on the market and looking forward to the day that they are mainstream options! 🙂
I have four daughters and then there is myself. One hates tampons, one hates pads, one hates periods full stop and one must be close to getting hers. These underwear would be a pretty perfect solution.
I’m ditching single use for good and would love to try I Am Eva! It is great for the environment and a family of 5 budget, they looks stylish and comfortable too! Win win I say 😁
Would love to win this to give them a try! Got my menstrual cup just need a reusable alternative to pads!!
I’ve gotta pair of thinx and they are an amazing alternative and so much more comfortable! I would love some more pairs and especially would love to try a local brand!
Keen to try this plastic free alternative! #fortheenvironment
Tampons and pads are a bit irritating and wasteful, the menstrual cup doesn’t seem to be working, and reusable pads feel like a nappy lol! This is my last resort and I’d love to do my bit for the environment where I can! Such an awesome innovation and would love to support a kiwi brand 🙂 xx
My friend’s daughter has used similar underwear and loves it. I used a cup for many years and although I no longer need sanitary products myself I would love for my daughter to experience the freedom of not using disposable products.
i would love to try and support a local brand hate using tampons and over pads tried the cup and don’t like it. would be truly grateful to be given some to try xoxo
I’d actually like to try for my daughter who is soon approaching this special time of her life x
I’d just like to try them out! Leaking through to your undies, is always such an awkward feeling. And always ruining your undies!
I have been really interested in trying these for ages but have not had the courage to spend the money to do it. I would love to win so I can give these a go!
After having a baby, nothing is the same. I’d love to try period underwear as it would be SO much easier while also chasing a baby around!
would love to try but never seem to have the $ for the initial investment

So skeptical! But equally intrigued 😉 xx
PERIOD UNDERWEAR CHANGES EVERYTHING!
Would love to try something more natural and organic as I’m quite sensitive to everything!
These fascinate me, would love to win for my daughter xxx
I would love to try these for my long distance runs as occasionally I leak a bit!!
It would be wonderful to own these fantastic items because they are perfect protection for the gym and help my confidence to achieve workout goals without worry.
Would love to try & be more eco friendly! Every little helps. 🙂
With my busy life, who has time to change their pads. These undies are the way of the future for busy working Mums!
