- I thought period pants sounded totally gross until I realised I was cloth-nappying my son but not myself... Better give them a go! I'm British, so I mean undies or knickers here not trousers ;) So here's my review of a range of styles and absorbancies of period pants from leading brands Wuka and Modibodi, plus two pairs of shorts and a pair of leggings. If you'd like to buy any from Modibodi please use my affiliate links below. Thanks!
In this film I also mention the eco-friendly, money-saving Mooncup which I reviewed here • Mooncup review - what'...

I use the Modibodi active pants for running and will never look back! Great review. Thank you!
Brill! Glad you like them too Hannah!
Very informative and amusing. Although for some reason I don't think I'm the target market. 😂
Ha ha ha! Glad you liked it TC, you could always share it with your female friends and family :)
Thank you so much for this review, super useful. Might try them out, worst case they are pants! (no pun intended)
Ha ha ha! Pants pants lol!
Great review, loads of fab info/reflections! I definitely need to give them a go I think!
Thanks Kath, defo never using pads again after these! Combined with Mooncup this is really good.
Amazing!!! Thank you so much for this review and for all the info. So helpful ❤
Thanks Jill, hope it helps you choose!
Brilliant review I’ll definitely look into these pants. Thank you
Thank PM! :)
Awesome real review
THanks KS! Hope it helps you out :)
Thanks for the honest review Claire. I'm a bit too old to worry about periods anymore, but have been warned that I will soon be in the "bladder leakage" phase of life so hopefully these will work for that too. I wonder though, if there might be an issue with chafing during longer runs? The guys are lucky they don't have to worry much about this sort of thing.
Ha ah yes! I also sometimes have bladder leakage and can confirm that these are good for this too. I think the WUKA ones might win for the longer runs and any chafing as they are more streamlined. But then the issue is if you need to change them on a really long run - might be better to use one of those reusable pads that popper round the bit of the pants between your legs. That might be easier. Hope that helps anyway! I'll keep you posted!
Great review! I’m definetly going to try 👍 I’m sadly not best friends with the moon cup 🤷♀️ Period proof swimwear sounds interesting but difficult. Those are probably going to be really tight and that is going to be uncomfortable in multiple ways 😂
Hey Maria, it took me a fair few months to get used to the mooncup and using period pants in combination with it is now my bag. I can't get it not to leak just slightly, so always need a bit of padding. I just don't know how swimwear could work!
Great vid. Might give the Wukas a try. I'm using boodi pants. They do bridget size and bikinis. Have been great so far but not ran longer than a half marathon. Their good for bladder escapes too 😂
Thanks SH, glad this was helpful for you, yes they're so handy these period pants, really enjoying using them!
Very helpful - I want to try these to replace pantyliners, or when I'm not sure if my period is going to start (I use a mooncup too). The Wukas look good, as do their shorts but I have the same problem with thighs eating them!
Also, do the Wuka shorts have a kind of built-in knicker? It's not clear on their website and I'd be worried about revealing a bit too much if they rode up!
Yes they do, it's a sort of gusset thing, I think I showed it in this film, it is all black tho so might not be very clear!
@@wildgingerruns Thank you, I'll take a closer look
Your comment about thongs is spot on. I guess some people actually enjoy the feel of fabric inside their bum cheeks? Each to their own!
Ew, no idea who likes that! Ha ha ah!
I would suggest some kind of cleaning agent when you're cleaning these Claire. There's still a chance of bacteria growing in them and infecting you. Even just hand wash detergent.
I do use detergent in the wash JA don't worry! I'll keep you posted :)
@@wildgingerruns I was referring to rinsing them out. Most clothes have enough detergent in them that you can skip it in the machine every other wash.
@@hairyairey Ah, yes it is a bit minging of me to not rinse them, I will do in future and think of you! :)
@@wildgingerruns I meant when you said you just rinsed them on holiday. But yes you should rinse things before you put them in the machine. Also it's worth cleaning your machine monthly. Makes it last longer. Not necessarily Calgon either, not all manufacturers recommend it. You can guess who does the laundry in our house?
I just have my husband clean them.
Did she just say heavy discharge?
Yep. It happens.
Yup, the big ole' heavy D. Be glad you're not a woman Phil ;))))
What I learned about women from the comments is: "Pads that popper round heavy discharge bladder leakage with chafing. Chance of bacteria clean your machine monthly."
Implicitly body-shaming yourself by not actually modeling the merchandise. What kind of message are you sending to the young women of England just standing there hiding behind your pants? For the next panty video please reconsider your approach. In fact, to make up for it, you should strongly consider doing a How to Hike in Your Panties video. Thank you.
lol! Being shamed for being body-shamed! I’m actually 100% not ashamed of my bod whatsoever but I don’t want god knows who perving over me on RUclips. That’s my decision who gets to see my amazing bod ta, peace and love your way!
