How Does Bodhi B Period Underwear Work?
Be Confident. Be Comfortable. Be Secure.
What is Period Underwear?
Period underwear looks and feels like normal underwear, with one key difference. It has a slim, super-absorbent and breathable multi-layered gusset that soaks up liquids over time, providing you with maximum protection and comfort during your period. Use Bodhi B underwear as a back-up or to replace pads and tampons completely. The patented gusset means there’s no danger of spills or embarrassing slip ups.
Period underwear is re-usable, super-absorbent, washable and thoughtfully designed. Now you can replace single-use products with a comfortable and environmentally-friendly alternative. It's completely zero waste!
You can feel secure and comfortable, while saving money and the environment!
Why Choose Period Underwear?
Concern about the environment and the impact of single-use products is a growing issue. The average woman uses around 500 products a year, and discards 16,000 menstrual products over the course of her lifetime.
Given that 90% of sanitary pads are made of plastic, and a single pad takes more than 500 years to break down and decompose, it’s no surprise that sanitary pads are the fifth most common type of waste found on beaches. That’s why switching to an eco-friendly option makes so much sense.
But, Bodhi B underwear isn’t just good for the environment. It’s great for your budget as well, as period underwear is reusable and, with the right care, will last for 2+ years.
Choosing environmentally-friendly, reusable products gives you peace of mind knowing that you are saving money and reducing your impact on the environment.

What Are Bodhi B’s Made of?
We have made it our mission to design and manufacture locally and source South African fabrics and components wherever possible, ensuring ethical and fair trade. We understand the importance of high-quality fabrics and an all-round comfortable fit, which is why we only use superior fabrics!
Our women's collection is made of soft-touch durable and high stretch fabric and includes a soft, luxurious, fine knit 100% natural gusset lining which wicks away moisture, making sure you’ll stay comfortable and dry throughout the day. It is naturally anti-microbial, odour resistant, and dry to the touch when wicking away moisture.
Our sustainable objectives and focus on local supply chain helps our environment and uplifts our community through job creation.
How Do They Work?
Bodhi B’s collection features our patented multi-layered gusset for maximum breathability, moisture absorption, and protection against leaking
- The top lining gusset is made of 100% natural luxurious knit, which wicks away moisture.
- The middle lining gusset is slim but absorbent and locks in liquid.
- The bottom lining gusset is a watertight but breathable layer.
Our technology provides protection from light to heavy days and full coverage at night.
How Absorbent Are My Bodhi B’s?
The super-absorbent leakproof and breathable gusset absorbs and retains the equivalent of:
(1-2 tampons per day) for a light flow
(2-3 tampons per day) for a medium flow
(3-4 tampons per day) for a heavy flow or overnight
You can wear your Bodhi B’s for up to 8 hours, but we recommend changing them every 4-6 hours depending on your flow.
Our range has been tried and tested and promises no “push-back” or “bulkiness” will be felt when worn or when moisture is absorbed.
