Home » Blog » Why Modal is the Perfect Fabric for Your Underwear
Have you ever struggled through your day, feeling uncomfortable and distracted by underwear that just doesn’t feel right? especially during your period? Comfort and security are essential during these times, and Modal fabric can significantly enhance your underwear experience.
Modal, also known as TENCEL Modal, is a premium, eco-friendly fabric made from sustainably sourced beech tree pulp. Known for its ultra-soft feel, breathability, and moisture-wicking ability, it’s rapidly becoming the material for menstrual underwear, leak-proof period underwear, and sustainable underwear.
Modal is three times softer than cotton, making it perfect for sensitive skin. It feels like a second skin and eliminates the irritation and discomfort often caused by traditional period products.
Modal absorbs 50% more moisture than cotton. This keeps you dry even on heavy flow days and supports leak-proof underwear by locking in sweat and menstrual fluid.
Thanks to its breathable fibres, Modal keeps air flowing to minimise heat and sweat build-up. It also resists odour-causing bacteria, helping you feel fresh all day long.
Modal holds up to frequent washing without losing its softness or strength. Your comfortable period underwear stays in top condition, cycle after cycle.
TENCEL Modal is made using environmentally responsible processes that consume less water and energy. It’s fully biodegradable, making it a top choice for eco-friendly fabric lovers.
Choose Modal menstrual underwear for all day comfort, period security, and peace of mind so you can live your life without limits, every day of the month.
Choose your flow type based on the number of pads, tampons or cups you use in approx. 12 hours.
These are guide figures, not medical advice. Absorbency is measured under lab conditions and real-world results vary with fit and activity. If your flow soaks through in under two hours, speak to a healthcare professional.
