“Convenient” isn’t usually a word we associate with periods, but for most women, they’re simply a fact of life. Unfortunately, when nice clothes or freshly washed sheets and our times of the month combine, the result has the potential to be a little messy (sometimes with a side serving of embarrassment).

After their week-long trial with Modibodi, this is what our writers had to say about their new-found holy grail undies:

The need: Spotting.

Along with the lack of VPL, I was particularly thrilled to discover that the inbuilt absorbent liner of these undies is only millimetres thick and feels like it's barely there.

I really have to thank the Aussie mum who, based on her own knowledge and experience, helped to design these wonder-garments. Sometimes the real experts are the people who have gone through it all.

How do you prevent spotting?
