8 Best Period Pants UK 2023 | Modibodi, Thinx and More

We love these pants by Thinx because as well as being ultra-absorbent, they're also rather snazzy to look at! The high waist keeps your tummy tucked in and warm, while the sheer panels on either side ensure that your skin can breathe.

The extra-thick gusset rises up high at both the front and back so you don't have to worry about leaks when running, riding a bike, or just rolling around in bed. Yes, the price tag is high for one pair but we promise that these pants are 100% worth it!

The best thing about these trendy looking pants is the fact that they come in a pack of five and are actually cheaper than some single pairs on our list! Holding around 2 tampons of blood, they allow you to get on with life and ditch the disposables for good.

These pants are designed to be figure-hugging and have a high-cut leg, making them easy to move around in. Washable at 30 degrees, they can be air-dried and worn again the next day as needed.

It's always nice to find menstrual underwear available in colours other than black. Plus, these cheeky pants are embellished with frivolous lace, to help you surf the crimson wave in style! Intimate Portal is a top manufacturer of period pants with hundreds of amazing reviews online, so you know you can trust this set of knickers to do the job.

Absorbent enough to hold around 2 regular tampons' worth of liquid, these pants are guaranteed to keep you feeling fresh regardless of whether you're out and about or lounging around at home.

Who says period pants have to be depressing? These sleek briefs have a jazzy zigzag pattern around the stretchy waistband, which fits securely too. Holding up to 2 tampons' worth of blood, they're suitable for slightly heavier days.

These pants are bestsellers and we can see why - they're chic, highly absorbent, and extremely durable. Whilst they're at the pricey end of the scale, we Thinx they're worth it!

These sporty little pants by Thinx aren't as bulky as many other menstrual underwear options, so they really let your skin breathe. Designed for medium flow days, they can hold around 1.5 regular tampons' worth of blood. 

Made from nylon blended with elastane, they're extra stretchy - great for keeping active even when it's your time of the month! Unfortunately though, they do need to be washed by hand before they can be popped into the machine with your regular laundry load.

These cheerful polka dot pants come in black, white, and grey. The wonderfully soft cotton gusset can hold 1-2 regular size tampons' worth of liquid, but the manufacturers suggest wearing them with other menstrual protection in order to prevent leaks.

If you like to feel sucked-in and safe during your period, these knickers will be right up your street! The high waist and slightly lower-cut leg seam not only look stylish but also mean that your body is comfortably covered up.

These pants are generally recommended for use alongside other menstrual products, as they have a lower level of absorbency than other briefs on our list. Luckily, there are 3 pairs in a pack if you do want to wear them alone on a lighter day.

We love the colours that these knickers come in: deep burgundy, dark grey, and midnight blue. The high, thick waistband makes them extra comfortable to wear, especially if you suffer from bloating and cramps during your period.

These cool pants echo the iconic sporty look made famous by Calvin Klein - though they're in no way affiliated, or as costly! This pack is fantastic value for money as you get 3 pairs in different styles.

The leak-proof gusset is reinforced with PUL, so you can guarantee no drops will escape and ruin your clothes. These briefs only hold around 2 tampons' worth of fluid though, so you will need to change them regularly if you have a heavier flow.
