I really like that you tried to say 'people who get periods' and 'as a woman who gets periods' bc that includes trans men who get periods and shows that not all women get them for various reasons, being trans etc. 😊❤️
@@elliyo4286 I love being all Inclusive but surely not? The entire point is the womb lines itself with blood to create a cusion for the egg and if the egg isn't fertilised then the lining isnt needed and is shed. I've watched documentaries of sex alteration surgery and a cervix is created from inverting the penis. I also found out recently that it is much like a wound and if they dont use expanders then the vagina can close up. They also dont produce any secretion and need lube for intercourse because the delicate system that creates natural lubrication isnt able to be recreated also. but a womb is still absence and the fallopian tubes arent there so no way of creating a menstrual cycle. This is why only biological ladies can have periods because we have all the plumbing and why trans women from men cannot get pregnant. It's not that its changes the fact they are a woman because if they are categorizing themself as such that must of course be honoured but science saying no for trans women having periods. As far as I'm aware anyway. Unless they can now grow wombs and fallopian tubes for them? which would of course be awesome and please send me links to the details if I'm mistaken, as I said I love learning about it ☺️✌🏼
@@Kuriousspirit I said not all women get periods for different reasons. Trans women don't get periods. Some trans men do. So saying 'people with periods' is the correct and inclusive term. I don't know what you saying how some operations work relates to that? 🤔 But maybe you misunderstood something.
This is a great idea especially for those who have medical conditions where they cannot use tampons or period cups..and don’t want to hassle with the bulky pads. Really great, I think this is what we should invest in for those in areas where women don’t have access to period supplies, or where they can’t afford them. This gives them a reusable sanitary option that they can just hand wash and not have to worry about every single month how they will take care of their period cuz they have something that can last use after use.
I’ve just been looking into these pants for my two tweenage girls. Was sure there had to be a better way for them. Dying to see what they think of it when they get get their period. I’ll have a little box ready to go for them with a swim suit in too.
I wish I could use them but they just don't fit 😣 the very smallest ones are too big and no matter how I attempted insertion it's a no-go. That area accepts no inserted things unless particular preparation is taken. 😅
@@LadyAhro If you still want to find one that fits try the Meluna shorty small wih a ball stem, it's teeny tiny and the only one that I find comfortable. Also google menstrual cup comparison chart, it's useful for comparing mesntrual cups across brands.
I've been curious about period pants for a while but have been too scared to try them! It's always good to hear 'real' reviews from someone you trust so I might use the code and order a pair to try out!
I use a different brand (THINX), but have been using period underwear for about 3 years now. I have extremely heavy periods, and I change mine in the morning when I get dressed, in the afternoon when I get home from work, and in the evening before bed on my heaviest days. On the lighter days I just change in the morning and at night. If I put them in the wash in the evening they're washed and dried by the following morning. I have 7 pairs and at most go through 3 in a 24 hour period. They've honestly changed my life and I cannot recommend them enough. I have really unusually heavy periods so if they work for me they'll work for everyone haha! I've also had the same ones from the start so they last really well too x
Helen this is such an awesome change for the best!! I've been using period proof underwear and a menstrual cup for years now and its the best thing ive ever done. So much cheaper, so much less waste, and *so much more comfortable!! I actually feel clean* wearing them. All of these changes youre making are so awesome, and its even better that you're talking about it and making other people aware of other options. I would LOVE if you could make more videos related to how you're making more environmental changes
I actually love that you are taking these steps. You are really helping the planet.Thank you Helen! (also you should ditch all wipes because they ALL contain plastic) Your rose bush is absolutely beautiful as well :D
Some vintage shops are more expensive because of the rarity of an item, it accounts for the individual sourcing of each item and they are usually small businesses.
Yayyy for being anti face wipe! Not only are they unnecessary, they don't clean your face properly. Thanks for sharing the period underwear, very eager to try them out! Definitely plant more lavender... the bees love lavender! X
If you’re looking to save on wipes and cotton pads the magnitone London face cloths are great. You literally just use water and it removes all of your makeup. I was sceptical but they are fab and the only thing I use to remove my makeup now. I sometimes use it with a cleanser just for my skin, though you don’t need to. I know Primark have a similar thing in too at the minute but I haven’t tried those ones yet. 10/10 recommend x
Just ordered two pairs of Modi Bodi pants with your discount, I’m so excited! Just swapped to the mooncup too, as I hated tampons and the uncertainty of pads
I've never been really interested in period panties. Seems like a hassle. You probably need to change your panties at least once during the day and you need multiple panties. Also I've never been a pad kinda girl. I use to prefer tampons. I'm definitely a menstrual cup kinda girl now!! I bought one, it was the right one and I would never go back to tampons!!
Menstrual cups are amazing! I love mine and I adore my period pants! I wear mine at night to have a break from having something inside me. And they’re amazing for when you’re expecting to come on too, avoids risking your normal pants or having to wear a cup for no reason 😊
Such a good video Helen! You are such a great ambassador for this type of thing, period pants should be provided for girls in school where sometimes they have no money for period products, maybe you could approach this brand and suggest this to help ‘period poverty ‘ Great video as always-thanks
I switched to a mensural cup and loved it! However, due to my very heavy flow, I do have occasional leaking. I use a thin panty liner for that which is a huge improvement from the irritating pads I used to use (tampons don’t work for me after a case of toxic shock syndrome I experienced). These absorbing panties could be perfect for me! Thanks for the honest review!
I'm reatching The Nanny and I relate to Fran so much! You remind me of her a bit as well, you should make a Nanny look book! Like a sexy, short skirts, big hair one
If you want to ditch your makeup wipes definitely get washable make up pads! My skin is really sensitive and doesn’t like a flannel but the pads are great! You can get them on amazon so cheap too!
Definitely going to have to give those knickers a go! Been meaning to get a mooncup, i feel if you used the two together you'd have no worries of leaks! Thanks for showing
I’ve been on the mini pill for 8 years now so don’t get periods, but I feel a bit sad that these kinds of products weren’t around during my teens! I’ve got endometriosis so my periods were pretty rough, but just a little bit of luxury and not having to feel like I’m wearing a nappy and having a sani pad sticking to your bits would be quite nice, as well as helping the environment! To be fair I’d probably also have to wear a tampon (or mooncup, never needed to try one of those 😄) as my periods are so heavy, but if I ever need to come off the pill I’ll be putting in a bulk order for these knickers!
?So can you just get away with wearing the same pair of pants all day without needing to change like you would a pad? I would be scared of leaks but these sound like the way forward!

Those pants look so good! It says on the website they hold 1-2 worth of tampons- but normally I would change mine at least 3 times in the day time so would you need to change your knickers half way through the day?
Sammie Jean I know this question was meant for Helen but I’m jumping in because I thought this too at first. I’ve realised that i can normally just change my pants when i get in from work on heavy duty days (my periods can be VERY heavy duty in day one and two) If I’m going to be out literally all day I’m usually headed to the gym or a friend’s house so it’s easy enough to take a second pair anyway :) just rinse the pair I’ve taken off in the shower at gym or the sink at my mates, pop them in a wee zip up bag and take them home
i love this. the fact that ur vibe isn’t one dimensional hippie style “vegan” but still is doing things to help the environment really just seems to open up the space for others to be curious too. love it love it 😆
Helen you need to try a facehalo makeup remover flannel. I bought one the other day for £7 from boots and it removes makeup with just water. It’s actual voodoo! And I wear a lot of makeup.
I don't have periods anymore (Thank you contraceptive pill!!!) But if I did I definitely would be interested in these. I can't stand the idea of tampons and mooncups and pads always made my skin sore and made me feel gross. These sound a lot more dignified!
Maybe instead of a vintage shop haul, you could try an app like Poshmark or Depop to buy specific things? I find it’s easier for me especially for plus size clothes, As I’ve found thrift stores don’t get in much for plus sized people or their catered to older ppl
Make-up remover flannels are great, but a lot of them are made of microfiber, and they release micro plastic in the wash, which ends up in the ocean and is harmfull. I'm pretty sure there are special washbags made to put microfiber flannels and stuff in when you put them in the washer so the micro plastic doesn't end up in the water, might be worth checking out :) Love the vid tho
Love this video - your garden is looking amazing! I was thinking about investing in some of these period proof pants - such a great idea. How long is your discount code valid for? xx
Does the make-up-removal work with waterproof too? I need to use waterproof since I have allergies and my eyes water a lot and normal mascara, eyeliner etc. wouldn't stay on.
(just started watching so apologies if it was mentioned, but I'll forget if I don't comment it now 😂) Another period underwear tip- BIKINI BOTTOMS they clean so easily and don't get stained! I wear them every period, just doing that has helped so much. I do use sanitary items as well, but any mishaps are easily sorted
I'm so interested in whether the menstrual underwear is also an option for people with a heavy flow? It's easy to imagine somebody with a very light flow wearing these, but so difficult to imagine a person having a very heavy flow using these panties when they'd usually change their extra large tampon every 2 hours. 🤔

Awww my friend makes cloth sanitary products and cloth face wipes there great, she's on fb and insta her page is fluffy willows, I've made a lot of changes to be more eco friendly and it's so satisfying xxx
Might give the period pants a try. I’ve already switched to non applicator tampons as the applicator is unnecessary. But might give these a shot although I tend to get a heavy flow and can go though about 2 super plus tampons in an hour sometimes but maybe these will be good for my third day onwards.

If you prefer tampons to pads you should try a menstrual cup. You can wear them for 12 hours and you just empty it morning and night. Period underwear are great too. I use both depending on my mood.

I have super (I mean super 2 pad job) heavy periods for the first couple of days does anyone who is the same leak out of these or are they pretty good? (I can’t believe I’m asking this on a TH-cam video 😂😂😂) also so with you on the buying un wrapped food! 👌👌 One pet peeve of mine is ordering online with click and collect buying loose veg and ticking bring your own bags and when you pick it up all the bits and bobs are in bags and even other stuff is too 😫

I've also had the same ones from the start so they last really well too x I've literally never leaked once in the 3 years I've been using them for every single period and I get such a heavy flow. I don't even leak overnight. Now and again I've left the same pants in from morning til bedtime on a really heavy day if I've not been able to change and it's not even leaked then. They're bloody miracles!
I'm always trying to reduce my footprint and realize that my period is one of the areas where I create the most waste :( I have extremely heavy periods and have always been nervous to try these things out! I highly doubt I'd be able to go the whole day with one pair of pants, which is fine if I'm home, but if I'm at work or out it might be a tad awkward! Any one have any tips?
I could recommend using them in conjunction with a menstrual cup? I have heavy periods too but the cup is a game changer and usually lasts as long or longer than tampons before filling up. Add the undies to catch any leaks and I think you'd be set, since either on their own might not be enough 😊
I would buy from a brand based in your country/manufacturered in your company. Modi body are Australian I believe so I wouldn't buy from them just because I live in UK and there are UK brands doing the same thing and they're stocked over here thus reducing the carbon footprint.
Haha funny story my mate loves Caroline Hirons and she told me about her and it dinged in my head that the guy i was dating was her nephew lol but i didn't get to meet her as we didn't see each other for very long lol
Have you heard of Facehalo? They’re an alternative to make up wipes I bought last year and verrrrry rarely do I ever take my make up off with anything else now!
At least now there's choice so you can still use the disposable option if you're going on a long day out or holiday where parents might not like carrying around dirty nappies for the day and be able to keep pads/tamps in your bag for 'unexpected visits'
I use almost exclusively period underwear for my menstrual cycle. I do wear them all day long, they can definitely handle 12 hours of bleeding. I check them every few hours when I go to the bathroom to make sure they're not too saturated. I feel dry and comfortable while wearing them. They are so convenient and so good for the environment and they make me really happy.

I couldn't recommend menstrual cups enough. Little weird to adjust to but once you get going you can pop it in and youre good for the day
Never going back! It's what I needed but didn't know. So glad I just decided to buy one just to see, it's already been 2 years and loving it :)
Yeees it's so good. I never want to go back, because we are producing so much garbage and putting chemicals into our bodies.

Maybe instead of a vintage shop haul, you could try an app like Poshmark or Depop to buy specific things? I find it’s easier for me especially for plus size clothes, As I’ve found thrift stores don’t get in much for plus sized people or their catered to older ppl
Make-up remover flannels are great, but a lot of them are made of microfiber, and they release micro plastic in the wash, which ends up in the ocean and is harmfull. I'm pretty sure there are special washbags made to put microfiber flannels and stuff in when you put them in the washer so the micro plastic doesn't end up in the water, might be worth checking out :) Love the vid tho
still much much better than conventional wipes. baby steps better than nothing :)
The Garden is the one! 😍
Waves on fleeketh 🌊
Just ordered a pair! Thanks for the info, great video as always :D
“Things that have been ‘tickling my pickle’’
PAHAHAHLOVEYOU
I always look forward to your favorites videos ❤️
How did you find the sizing? I’m really keen to try the modi body pants but I’m not sure whether to size up or not 🤔
Love this video - your garden is looking amazing! I was thinking about investing in some of these period proof pants - such a great idea. How long is your discount code valid for? xx
OK QUEEN definitely trying these pantiez
This hair looks great on you
Does the make-up-removal work with waterproof too? I need to use waterproof since I have allergies and my eyes water a lot and normal mascara, eyeliner etc. wouldn't stay on.
I use a balm (camomile balm from the body shop) and have used the camomile oil & it removes my waterproof make up no problem. Affordable too!
@@kathrynroberts3295 Thank you so much! I'll try that!
The code isn’t working ☹️
Thanks for this!! Defo want to try the pants!! What little things are people doing to be more eco? I love ideas.
I’m thinking about getting a milk man
(just started watching so apologies if it was mentioned, but I'll forget if I don't comment it now 😂)
Another period underwear tip- BIKINI BOTTOMS they clean so easily and don't get stained! I wear them every period, just doing that has helped so much. I do use sanitary items as well, but any mishaps are easily sorted
I especially love your hair in this vid
I'm so interested in whether the menstrual underwear is also an option for people with a heavy flow? It's easy to imagine somebody with a very light flow wearing these, but so difficult to imagine a person having a very heavy flow using these panties when they'd usually change their extra large tampon every 2 hours. 🤔
Your code's not working babe...
Confused on how the underwear works, do you like wear the same pair all day without having to change them? I really wanna give them a try!
I use a different brand, but have been using period underwear for about 3 years now. I have extremely heavy periods, and I change mine in the morning when I get dressed, in the afternoon when I get home from work, and in the evening before bed on my heaviest days. On the lighter days I just change in the morning and at night. I shove them in the wash in the evening and they're washed and dried by the following morning. They've honestly changed my life and I cannot recommend them enough. I have really unusually heavy periods so if they work for me they'll work for everyone haha! I've also had the same ones from the start so they last really well too x
What shade nite shine?
You're doing great 😁 keep up the planet love 💚
Awww my friend makes cloth sanitary products and cloth face wipes there great, she's on fb and insta her page is fluffy willows, I've made a lot of changes to be more eco friendly and it's so satisfying xxx
This was amazing!
Might give the period pants a try. I’ve already switched to non applicator tampons as the applicator is unnecessary. But might give these a shot although I tend to get a heavy flow and can go though about 2 super plus tampons in an hour sometimes but maybe these will be good for my third day onwards.

Clare Higgins what brand do you use?
If you prefer tampons to pads you should try a menstrual cup. You can wear them for 12 hours and you just empty it morning and night. Period underwear are great too. I use both depending on my mood.
YESSS BE ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY!!!! everyone should !its fucking sad. Reuse !reduce!RECYCLE!!!!!!!
So with the period pants can you wear all day even if your heavy and not need to change the pants?

Love this video babe
How about taking your own tubs to get meat? I know quite a few people who do this.
I have super (I mean super 2 pad job) heavy periods for the first couple of days does anyone who is the same leak out of these or are they pretty good? (I can’t believe I’m asking this on a TH-cam video 😂😂😂) also so with you on the buying un wrapped food! 👌👌 One pet peeve of mine is ordering online with click and collect buying loose veg and ticking bring your own bags and when you pick it up all the bits and bobs are in bags and even other stuff is too 😫
Yeah i order online loose & say no bags please & they still bagged them 😔 if it was paper i woukdnt mind but was plastic
jenny 100% agree, if they have to be bagged paper would be so much better! 👌☺️
If you're that heavy try a cup! On heavy days I would have to use a night time pad during the day and I don't even half fill a cup in 12 hours

I've literally never leaked once in the 3 years I've been using them for every single period and I get such a heavy flow. I don't even leak overnight. Now and again I've left the same pants in from morning til bedtime on a really heavy day if I've not been able to change and it's not even leaked then. They're bloody miracles!
You seem very uncomfortable talking about period stuff, so I am really glad you did this video nonetheless!
I'm always trying to reduce my footprint and realize that my period is one of the areas where I create the most waste :( I have extremely heavy periods and have always been nervous to try these things out! I highly doubt I'd be able to go the whole day with one pair of pants, which is fine if I'm home, but if I'm at work or out it might be a tad awkward! Any one have any tips?
I could recommend using them in conjunction with a menstrual cup? I have heavy periods too but the cup is a game changer and usually lasts as long or longer than tampons before filling up. Add the undies to catch any leaks and I think you'd be set, since either on their own might not be enough 😊
I would buy from a brand based in your country/manufacturered in your company. Modi body are Australian I believe so I wouldn't buy from them just because I live in UK and there are UK brands doing the same thing and they're stocked over here thus reducing the carbon footprint.
@@littletrebleclef Good idea! Thank you :)
@@PokemaniacBou That sounds like a good idea, thank you :)
Best kind of videos
Watch Backyard Envy on Hayu. You’ll love it 💪🤠
Charity shops are better priced than thrift shops! And try other menstural products!
Haha funny story my mate loves Caroline Hirons and she told me about her and it dinged in my head that the guy i was dating was her nephew lol but i didn't get to meet her as we didn't see each other for very long lol
Have you heard of Facehalo? They’re an alternative to make up wipes I bought last year and verrrrry rarely do I ever take my make up off with anything else now!
Honestly if parents have been raving about reusable diapers these undie-pads must be awesome too
its kinda funny how we've like gone full circle in period and nappy shit
At least now there's choice so you can still use the disposable option if you're going on a long day out or holiday where parents might not like carrying around dirty nappies for the day and be able to keep pads/tamps in your bag for 'unexpected visits'
Id love to try the knickers but what worries me is the idea of them feeling damp? Does anyone else worry about this or has anyone used them?
I use almost exclusively period underwear for my menstrual cycle. I do wear them all day long, they can definitely handle 12 hours of bleeding. I check them every few hours when I go to the bathroom to make sure they're not too saturated. I feel dry and comfortable while wearing them. They are so convenient and so good for the environment and they make me really happy.

They don't feel damp to me, but (TMI COMING UP) I have quite uh, thick blood with my periods with lots of like clots and blobs and stuff (SO SORRY FOR THIS OMG) and when I go to the loo if it's got like, stuff there, I just give the knickers a quick wipe with a piece of loo roll 😊
