CHOICE reviews period underwear: The most extensive Australian trial yet

Consumer advocacy group CHOICE is today releasing the results of its period underwear review, which put 10 types of the undies to the test.

In an Australian first, CHOICE recruited 56 volunteers to trial period undies from Bonds, Modibodi, Thinx, Eco Period and Love Luna, with each pair being trialled a minimum of 30 times.

CHOICE also tested the underwear in our laundry laboratory to find out what effect washing and drying would have on their condition over time.

“Period undies are becoming increasingly popular as people look for eco-friendly alternatives to pads and tampons, so we wanted to examine just how well different brands perform,” says CHOICE consumer expert, Marianna Longmire.

“There are so many different types and brands of period undies available these days. Our period underwear review will make it much easier for Australians to decide which undies are best for them.”

“Sometimes there’s a reluctance to talk about periods but these products really matter to people who need them.”

“You deserve to have rigorous and independent testing on all the products you rely on, from washing powder to period undies. This new CHOICE review will help you find out what products will work best for a heavy flow day or which will be more comfortable. We hope that publishing and discussing our period underwear review will also help to reduce some of the stigma that still exists around periods,” says Longmire.
