AWWA Reusable Period Underwear
AWWA creates reusable period underwear designed to make managing your period more comfortable, convenient and sustainable. Founded in New Zealand, the female-led brand combines everyday underwear styling with clever absorbent technology, providing an alternative to disposable pads and tampons.

How does AWWA period underwear work?
AWWA period underwear features multiple layers designed to absorb fluid, wick moisture away from your skin and help protect against leaks. The layer closest to your skin is made from 95% organic cotton with 5% spandex, giving you a soft and comfortable feel.
Depending on the style and absorbency, AWWA period underwear can hold the equivalent of between one and five regular pads or tampons. You can wear period underwear on its own or use it as backup protection alongside a tampon or menstrual cup, depending on your flow and personal preference.
AWWA underwear can also be useful for spotting and minor bladder leaks.
Avoid fabric softener, as this can affect the moisture-wicking and antimicrobial properties of the fabric.
Why choose reusable period underwear?
Switching some or all of your disposable period products for reusable underwear can help reduce the number of single-use pads and tampons going to landfill.
AWWA also has a strong focus on sustainability as a business, alongside working with manufacturing partners that provide fair wages and have practices in place to reduce waste and source more sustainable fabrics.
