Of coarse it was well informitive for those it may concern as well still fun and light hearted . Good vid ellbat , but this also may be why you have 500k subs but less than 100k views . Maybe do some fillers with reaction vids like I mentioned or other easy stuff to fill some gaps and test the waters . But as always love the vids , much love to you , you already know .

    My 12yr old daughter prefers period underwear, and to be honest I prefer her to wear them. She doesn’t have to worry about pads while at school, or the potential issues with a pad related malfunction. She got hers from a trip to Australia and it was a 5 or 7 pack with different styles (hipster brief, boy short, etc) it wasn’t a large brand type and they weren’t as expensive as ones you got. The fabric is also very similar to a pair of cotton underwear. She’s been using them for over a year, with no ‘accidents’ or nighttime spillage. The underwear themselves have really held up, with minimal discolouration. (underwear is a light grey colour with red elastic waistband). 10/10 worth it and would buy again.

      Plus it's so much cheaper in the long run. They're very expensive off the bat, but you have to remember they'll last YEARS - unlike pads or tampons, which you have to buy every month. Plus it's a really easy way to reduce waste in landfill, because all the other positives make it really convenient to make the switch.

      Your period blood doesn’t naturally have a smell other than a general metallic blood smell - a lot of the nasty smell associated with periods come from the blood interacting with the fragrances on traditional period products. I’ve never had a smell with a period cup ♥️ I wonder about the undies but I’m sure it wouldn’t be as bad as traditional products!

      True !! But it’s that classic case of: you still need that £40 upfront and for low-income people, they don’t. You’ll only have £2 at that time which you’ll have to spend on pads. You can’t save towards it so you end up spending more long term on pads than the person who could afford to buy this underwear.

    3 months ago, my life changed forever. I live in a complex where we share a laundry room. People leave things there that they do not need such as clothes, food, and other stuff, so people who need it can take it. I saw some adult diapers there, they had been there for a few months, so I knew no one wanted them. I took them and tried them for my period. OMG my life is so changed. I have used them for two periods now and I will never use pads for my heavy days again. I actually think that they make my period shorter because I do not clench up trying to keep myself from flowing out on to my panties. I just let go and let it flow and it is glorious. Then I throw them away after a day. I use like 2 or 3 for an entire period instead of 8 or 9 pads. I know that the ones she’s talking about would be more environmental but I’m not ready to trust them yet. Maybe soon but not yet. All in all, any form of period panties or adult diapers are amazing and life changing for periods.

    Modibodi undies and the moon cup combo work magic honestly. My periods were never this easy before and that changed my life!! Plus it saves the environment! Win win.

    literally cried, don't even know why actually I do that's a lie, when she said she went for the boyshorts because she wanted to be inclusive and have this benefit trans & nb ppl too. you're so unfailingly nice and mindlessly inclusive, never stop. the only thing better than someone who tries hard to be inclusive is the person who doesn't need to try.

    I think the price is not bad at all, considering the fact you're saving A LOT of money on pads and tampons. So in the long run, you'll be saving money. It's an investment

    I mean period underwear is great but it is so so expensive, but for us in the UK, I recommend ModiBodi because they're either based in Britain or have some sort of store here because the shipping is much cheaper

    I’ve been wearing THINX for four or five years already, I wear them day and night, and just ordered new styles! They are true heroes. They are rather expensive, granted..., but they also have projects in Africa where they donate washable pads for young girls so they can to go school during their period 👏 Hopefully as this technology develops it will become more affordable for everyone. Thanks for always talking about the right topics!

    I used the bonds and modybody brand period undies after I gave birth to my third baby. I used “regular” absorbency and I could wear them all day with no leaking or “puddle” feeling. I didn’t use a single pad. I wore them immediately after birth, and idk how much you know about the first 24 hours after a baby, let’s say maternity pads are as thick as a mattress for a reason. And they were sooooo gentle on my torn up lady!! I get bad chafing with pads usually, so it really saved my flower when healing after birth with stitches wearing such soft comfy undies and they were so much cleaner. I havnt gotten my period since birth but I’m actually looking forward to it as they are my comfiest undies I own.
