Product safety and chemical transparency
Leak-proof undies sit close to your skin for hours at a time. So, it’s fair for you to want clear answers about what goes into each pair and those materials are checked.
How Modibodi approaches safety testing and supplier checks
It’s not enough for our products to be tested. Our suppliers go through strict, regular checks, and we keep track of each of the materials used in all of our products to make sure they meet industry health, safety and restricted-substance requirements. It’s something we take very seriously.
Independent Third-Party Tested & STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® Certified
Every Modibodi product is STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certified, which is an independent 3rd party certification, meaning Modibodi products meet strict industry standards for harmful chemical safety.
And yes, they get into the nitty gritty details. They check every fabric, thread, trim and treatment. You can even view Modibodi’s certificates using the QR codes on our product safety page.
Patented leak-proof protection, independent 3rd party testing
Almost 1,000 Tests Before The First Pair
To get us to where we are today, Modibodi worked with chemical textile engineers, garment developers, textile mills and scientists. Our original Modifier Technology™ went through almost 1,000 tests across 18 months before we were happy with and could finalise the fabric combination.
“Tests? Obsessed.”
If it doesn’t pass, it doesn’t make the cut. Our patented leak-proof protection goes through strict 3rd party laboratory testing to make sure it absorbs fluid, locks it away and helps keep you feeling dry. These tests include:
- Hydrostatic Pressure Testing: Where pressure is applied to the leak-proof liner to check fluid stays put instead of making a break for your clothes or sheets.
- Saturation Lab Tests: Which simulates different flows to confirm exactly how much each absorbency can hold, for example, proving selected styles of our Super
- absorbency can hold up to 50 ml, equivalent to ten tampons.*
- Wet Back Test: Checks how much moisture transfers back into the surface under pressure, because no one wants to feel what their period underwear has absorbed when they sit down.
The results also continue after your first wear too. Our garments are independent 3rd party lab tested to stay leak-proof for up to 100 washes* when cared for properly, so they can keep doing their job again and again.

How the leak‑proof technology works
So, what are all of those performance and safety tests actually testing? Our patented Modifier Technology™ is built into the gusset of our period undies to absorb fluid and lock it away so it isn’t ending up where you don’t want it.
The leak-proof liner
Modibodi liners work because of how the materials are layered and secured. The breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics draw fluid into the gusset, where it’s held in place by absorbent layers. Then, it’s locked in by a thin TPU film that creates that leak-proof barrier we brag about.
Our specific sewing techniques keep all of those layers in place and help contain fluid around the sides and seams. This complete construction is what allows our finished garments to be tested for absorbency, wetness and leaks.
All of that technology and it still feels like underwear
All of that technology also barely feels there. Our Modifier Technology™ gusset is just three millimetres thick, so it sits close to your body instead of feeling bulky or padded. The soft fibres sit against your skin, while the slim, flexible liner moves with the rest of the underwear, making you forget you’re even wearing anything special.
Loved by customers
Our customers wear Modibodi to bed, through workouts, to work and school, into the water — everywhere. Their verdict? More than 60,000 five-star reviews, an overall rating of 4.9/5 and recommendations from 9 in 10 customers. Now that’s some happy customers.
Sustainability
Modibodi products are reusable alternatives to certain single-use period products. The environmental impact depends on the product, number of uses, washing method, energy source and the disposable products used for comparison, including:
- Modibodi Design, which shapes our raw material and fibre choices.
- Raw Material Sourcing, and supporting strong manufacturer partnerships and continued improvement through our Tier 1 Suppliers.
Through Give A Pair, we are also committed to helping more people access reusable period products with dignity.
Social impact and causes supported
Periods should not hold anyone back. Through our social impact work, we focus on striving to contribute to closing the menstrual health gap worldwide and helping more people access reusable protection so they can manage menstruation safely, privately and with the dignity they deserve.
Because it’s us, that commitment is backed by something measurable. With the help of our customers at Modibodi, we have so far donated 219,000+ reusable period products around the world.
Our support is also not tied or restricted to one campaign or organisation. We’ve been involved in and with Share the Dignity, Days for Girls and World Menstrual Hygiene Day, to name a few. Through the Game Changer Grant, we have also backed and supported organisations creating social and environmental change, with our partnership with i=Change helps support even more work striving towards menstrual equality.
Try Modibodi for 60 Days
Even with all this proof of how great period underwear is, buying them for the first time can come with some unknowns. You need to experience how they feel, how the absorbency suits your flow and how the protection holds up during your day and night.
That’s why first-time customers shopping through the Modibodi website can try one eligible product from their initial order for up to 60 days. If that experience doesn’t meet your expectations, just contact us to request a refund or store credit. You also need to return the product you’re claiming for either.
The trial applies to one product from your first order. Postage is not covered and some are excluded, so check the full terms before ordering.
