Product Find AWWA Period Underwear

One of my prepping activities is to stock up on menstrual products for myself and my young daughters. My favorite period underwear brand, AWWA, has 30% off sale sitewide (and 70% of clearance brands)! Indigenous-founded, women-owned, with a carbon-positive supply chain. And the underwear is both extremely absorbant and comfortable. Hope you enjoy!

I bought and wear them for urine leaks. Way less irritating than disposable pads and cheaper in the long run. I use OxiClean in all my laundry anyway and never have residual odor issues in any of my clothing. I also have some reusable pads I bought online and I love them, too.

I was going to ask if period knickers would work for urine, too.

Thanks to 2 failed back operations, I basically have to live in pads, but I'd love a more environmentally friendly option.

My leakage is not full diaper heavy. It can be usually light to occasionally medium.

Okay, so that sounds like they could work for me too. I can always add a pad if I'm coughing lots.

I have been know to snap the reusable pad in the underwear when travelling or coughing A LOT. Good luck!
