How does period underwear work with TriTech?

Underwear that works with your period flow, no matter where you are in your cycle, with TriTech Performance.

The idea of reusable underwear that can hold your blood (and more) can spark some questions. How does it work? What’s TriTech? Can it really cope with all my flows and fluids? We’re here to explain exactly what’s what with our intimawear by Bodyform™ to help you understand how it works for you and your flow.

So, how does intimawear by Bodyform® work?

intimawear by Bodyform® works with your body and your flows, whatever comes your way. They absorb like a towel but with the comfort of your normal underwear – so you can let your body do its thing and let your pants do the rest. They’re reusable too – just pop them in the wash and you’re ready to rewear, again and again.

But what is TriTech Performance?

The gusset of all intimawear by Bodyform® (that’s the bottom of the pants that goes between your legs and rests against your vulva) is designed with TriTech Performance to take care of your period. This means it has three separate layers which will be able to handle anything your body sends its way, from blood to discharge, from sweat to after-sex fluids, or anything in between.

The three layers of TriTech Performance include… 

  1. A moisture-wicking, cotton-soft top fabric layer that quickly moves blood and moisture deep into...
  2. A super-absorbent middle layer that holds the fluid in securely for up to 12 hours.
  3. And then thirdly, its external secure and breathable material layer enables airflow and quick drying.

Wicking fabrics for whatever flow

Wicking fabrics are modern technical fabrics which draw moisture away from the body. They are made from high-tech polyester which, unlike cotton, absorbs very little water. That means that the pants will feel dry and comfortable no matter what your vagina throws at them.

How does intimawear by Bodyform® prevent smells?

intimawear by Bodyform® includes a specialised wicking and absorbent layer within the pants that is treated with an antimicrobial odour control system that helps neutralise odour, even in hot and humid climates.

Long lasting protection

You can go about your day for up to 12 hours assured that whatever is happening in your pants will be taken care of. Let your body do its thing, and let intimawear by Bodyform® do the rest.
