We asked 56 volunteers to trial period underwear products from Bonds, Eco Period, Love Luna, Modibodi and Thinx to see how well they perform and how easy they are to use.

Shopping links on the CHOICE website

CHOICE is an independent, non-profit organisation dedicated to helping consumers. Clicking a link will take you to a retailer's website to shop. While we make money if you buy through some retailer links, this doesn't influence any of our rankings. 100% of the money we make goes straight back into our non profit mission. We're currently testing this service and will consider providing more shopping links in the future. Tell us what you think.

The results of our user trial will tell you which period underwear scores best for:

  • absorbency
  • no leaks
  • comfort
  • ease of use.

Our interactive tool helps you sort by price, and our Recommended list will quickly tell you which brands came out on top.
