Description

Our Cotton Lycra Brief hugs your silhouette and promises the comfort you crave. This style has been thoughtfully designed with a focus on comfort and quality, and constructing underwear that truly moulds to your shape. This Heavy absorbency style will absorb the same as 3-4 tampons or pads, while feeling completely dry. It has an extra back panel for absorbency.

Body Material - super soft, high quality *BCI Cotton Lycra, locally manufactured with maximum stretch for comfort.

Bodhi B's Gusset and the Layers that keep you dry and confident:

1) The soft, luxurious 100% natural lining wicks moisture away, keeping you dry. Our 100% eco gusset lining is antimicrobial and odour resistant, with no chemicals added.

2) Our middle layer absorbs the liquid, while ensuring minimum "push back" of liquid. This layer is slim at less than 3mm thickness.

3) A third layer is waterproof but breathable, ensuring the style is leakproof.

Absorbency - the Heavy style will absorb the same as 3-4 tampons or pads.

Use - Bodhi B undies can be used for periods, light bladder leaks or postpartum.

Use your washable, soft touch, waterproof bag for your spare pair.

Love them

"I bought this a few months ago and still love it. As someone who has STRUGGLED to find underwear with enough coverage cause I have a slightly bigger butt than usual, I'm glad to say the search is over. I was initially worried the underwear would not provide enough coverage, start slipping between my butt, and quickly become loose around the waist, so I'd spend alot of time pulling it up (etc. , based on previous frustrating experiences). But after months of using this underwear it's still in great condition. It feels so comfortable that I would love to see the company create normal underwear that isn't for periods cause I'm not exaggerating when I say this is the most comfortable underwear I've ever worn in my life. Also, I haven't leaked in it at all. But I use it as a backup for when I'm wearing tampons, and I use it a few days before and after my period, just in case I bleed. As someone who is gradually becoming comfortable with period underwear, the more I wear it, the more at ease I feel, and I love that I get to use pads less, which lately has started irritating my skin. Highly recommend it and I plan to buy more."

Shocked (in the best way possible)

"Wow. . . wow. . . wow. . . wow. . . Testing products that you have never had experience with before will always be a little nervewrecking because you always wonder if you have just wasted money or not. Ever since the recent reports (2026) from UFS of popular branded pads and tampons (such as Always, Kotex, etc. . . ) carrying toxins that disrupt hormones and potentially cause cancer, I had been doing extensive research on alternatives and came across Bodhi B. It seemed like the most financial and environmental friendly option as opposed to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified pads that were once-off and way more expensive in the long run. I jumped in head first, ready to lose money in the best or worst possible way and ordered a set of 5. The delivery came through so quickly and just in time for when my period started. I was especially impressed and surprised by how soft and subtle the materials were! They were so comfortable and did not feel like a diaper or as if I was wearing a pad at all! This made me a bit apprehensive about the absorbancy with how subtle the padding on the briefs were. Usually, the first couple of days of my period are quite heavy in flow but I had decided to do the risky thing and on my first day of period, after washing and drying them, I wore them to bouldering/climbing. (Please don't ask why I made such a decision. ) No leakages. No nothing. I was still a bit skeptical, and thought my body decided to not have a heavy flow this time but I tried them again during the night, sleeping on a towel just in case. In the morning, I was absolutely flabbergasted. My pants, towel, and bedsheets were all clean. The Bodhi briefs were heavy which clearly indicated that there was heavy flow during the night but that was it! Usually with overnight pads, I would still have a bit of staining on the sides of the underwear or on my pj pants, but with the black material and coverage on the butt area, everything was clean. The briefs were especially easy to rinse off and to wash in the washing machine. As for the longevity of Bodhi B, time will tell but as of now, there's no way I'm going back to once-offs during my menstruation life. I'm sad that my teenage self did not get to experience the magic and science achieved by Bodhi B but I hope that women these days will know of Bodhi B and choose to look after their health and the health of the planet! To the Bodhi B team, thank you! Absolutely life changing! PS: Sorry for the TMI and LONG review, but it is so rarely that I'm this impressed and happy with a purchase that I have to leave a review!"

Just great!

"I'm a big fan, I've loved all of Bodhi's panty products, its revolutionary for doing sport/ outdoor activitiy because it feels like you can move freely as well as not worry about anything leaking!"

— Kelly S. (5/5)

OMG. THE BEST!

"These are simply the best. I can rest at night knowing I won't bleed onto my sheets for the first few nights. My waist is ±64cm, the small fits well. The XS is too small, but S was PERFECT."

— Sarah H. (5/5)

Lovely to sleep in

"Great fit. It's comfy enough to sleep in and the absorbency is good. If you have chunkier thighs, these are way better than the boyshort style. Recommend"

— Jessica Z. (5/5)

Bloated days

"Great fit for those bloated days. I wear them on their own without any other sanity products - so much healthier and not too bad to wash."

— Nicolene R. (4/5)

Life changing

"Wish I've discovered this ages ago. Goodbye tampons!"

— Belinda S. (5/5)

Our family loves these

"This has become our family’s favourite underwear. This is ideal as it’s saving the planet and saving us the cost of monthly spending on sanitary wear. They are stylish , comfy and very good quality. Hopefully they will be day they manufactured in different colours. This company is worthy of support."

— Maryann G. (5/5)
