These period undies work for a wider range of needs than the name suggests. Whether it's periods, postpartum recovery, light bladder leakage, perimenopause, or just wanting a reliable backup on unpredictable days — the same four-layer absorbent system handles it. Up to 100ml capacity, built into the gusset so there's nothing to shift, bunch, or replace throughout the day.
The cotton outer (95% cotton, 5% elastane) is soft and breathable — important for anyone wearing absorbent underwear for extended periods. There's no plastic backing against the skin, no padding that adds bulk, and no crinkle when you move. They look and feel like regular underwear, which matters for dignity and everyday wearability.
The Full Brief style is particularly well suited to post-surgical recovery, postpartum wear, or anyone who benefits from a higher rise and more abdominal coverage. The Midi Brief suits everyday use with a classic hip-height cut. Both available in Black and Beige, sizes Small to 3XL.
For NDIS participants, absorbent underwear for continence management may be claimable under Core Supports — Daily Activities (Consumables). Check with your plan manager or support coordinator for eligibility. Rinse in cold water after wear, cold or warm machine wash, line dry — no fabric softener. ## Sustainability

Our absorbent underwear is covered by a 6-month guarantee from the date of purchase. To keep them performing at their best, rinse after use, cold machine wash, and line dry in the shade. Do not tumble dry, as heat can damage the absorbent layers and reduce their effectiveness over time. ## Faulty or Damaged Items

We pride ourselves on the quality of our products, but we manufacture (and deliver) by humans, not robots so very occasionally a product may develop a manufacturers fault or arrive damaged. We will do everything we can to resolve this situation to your satisfaction. To organise a return please email info@brollysheets.com with a photo and details of the issue.
## Incorrect Sizing / Change of Mind

If you’ve ordered the wrong size or colour, you can return or exchange within 90 days. Change-of-mind are issued as a gift card (valid for 3 years). For hygiene reasons, underwear can only be returned if unused, with swing tags attached, and in original packaging. Shipping costs for exchanges are the responsibility of the customer. ## Care & Wash Instructions

Washing after your period
Simple to care for — just a couple of steps will keep them performing well for years.
1. Rinse in cold water first. Cold water lifts blood before it sets. Hot water does the opposite and locks stains in. A quick 30-second cold rinse in the sink or shower before the wash is all it takes.
2. Machine wash on a cold or warm cycle with your regular detergent. Wash with like colours.
3. Do not use fabric softener. Softener coats the fibres and reduces absorbency over time. Skip it entirely.
4. Line dry or tumble on low heat. High heat can damage the waterproof and absorbent layers. Line drying is best and extends the life of the product.
One pair easily handles a full day's wear on a light-to-moderate period day. Most women keep 3–5 pairs in rotation so there's always a clean pair ready.
Washing for bladder leaks
