Why Are Women Switching To Leakproof Panties?

What Are Leakproof Panties And How Does It Work?

Leakproof panties, also known as period underwear, are specially engineered absorbent underwear for women that absorb your period flow without the need for pads, tampons or cups. Mahina’s design uses a smart three-layer gusset system to do the heavy lifting:

• Top layer: Breathable and moisture-wicking, this layer keeps your skin dry.
• Middle layer: Made to absorb and lock in blood and discharge so it does not sit on the surface.
• Bottom layer: A leak-proof barrier made from breathable TPU that keeps your clothes safe. 

If you are wondering where your period blood actually goes, it is right there in the core, held securely in the inner layers. On heavier days, a clot might sit on the surface of the leakproof panty until rinsed off, similar to how it behaves on a pad.

Slip it on like regular underwear and be worry free for up to 10 hours. Once you're done, rinse your leakproof panties under cold running water until the water runs clear. Use your fingers to gently press out the blood, and avoid twisting or wringing, toss them in the machine or just hang dry!

Why Choose Mahina Over Disposable Pads Or Cups?

Most disposable menstrual products are designed for convenience, not comfort. However, these archaic designs often fail to do the one thing they’re meant to do. Pads bunch up, cause chafing and need to be changed frequently. Tampons and menstrual cups may be uncomfortable, intimidating or impractical for many. And all of them come with the constant mental checklist: "Do I need to change soon?" "Do I have extras in my bag?" "Will this last through the day?"

Mahina’s leakproof panties are full coverage period panties that are built to simplify your period experience. They look and feel like regular underwear, but work harder in the background to keep you dry, leak-free and comfortable.

3. Built To Last

5. Designed For You 

Offered in 7 sizes, 7 colours, 3 absorbency levels, 2 rises and 2 styles, Mahina is made in India for real Indian bodies. 

How To Pick The Right Mahina For You?

Everyone’s period is different, and your period product should keep up with that. Mahina’s absorbent underwear for women is designed to adapt to your body and your cycle, so you do not have to compromise. Here’s how to pick the perfect pair for yourself:

1. Meet Your Flow Needs 

Your flow changes. Your product should keep up. Mahina offers three absorbency levels, each marked by contrasting stitch lines on the side seams so you can identify the right pair at a glance.

• Medium (25 ml): Ideal for moderate flow days. Matches the capacity of three pads, four tampons or one full cup. Two stitch lines.
• Heavy (40 ml): Built for those intense days. Holds as much as four pads, five tampons or two cups. Three stitch lines.
• Super Heavy (50 ml): For maximum protection when your flow is at its peak. Replaces five pads, seven tampons or two and a half cups. Four stitch lines.

No matter what your cycle throws at you, leakproof panties from Mahina are ready to handle it all.

P.S. If you’re unsure about when your period is going to arrive, opt for Mahina’s Stay Dry Panties. It’s the best for spotting or light flow and is equivalent to one pad, one tampon or half a menstrual cup. Denoted by one stitch line!

2. Identify Your Perfect Rise

Your period should not dictate your wardrobe. Mahina’s full coverage period panties are available in two rise options, so you can stay comfortable and confident in any outfit.

• Medium Rise: Offers a balanced fit and works well with mid-rise jeans, leggings and daily wear. Comfortable without being restrictive.
• High Rise: Gives more abdominal coverage and support. Pairs beautifully with high-waisted bottoms and adds a secure, hugged-in feel.

3. Choose Your Fabric 

Style Mahina leakproof panties come in two distinct fabric styles to suit different comfort preferences and flow needs. 

• Everyday Hero & Play & Slay: Made with 94% cotton and 6% elastane. Soft, breathable and stretchy, these styles move with your body and feel familiar. They feature a 35-mm wide waistband with a micro-nylon elastic that keeps everything in place.
• Oh So Soft: Crafted from a blend of 93% micromodal and 7% mobilon. This fabric is buttery smooth and ultra-breathable, with no stitching on the waistband or leg openings. The bonded waistband gives a seamless finish under clothing.

4. Find Your Right Size 

Mahina comes in seven inclusive sizes, from XS to 3XL, because the right fit matters. Use a measuring tape to check your hip circumference at the widest part, then match it to our size chart to get the most accurate fit for a stress-free period experience.

5. Pick Your Favorite Colour 

And the final step? Pick a colour you love. While both styles are available in classic black, each one also comes in a beautiful range of shades from earthy tans and rich browns to, our newest launch, Blush Red and Berry Purple!
