FAQ

Awwa Tencel Period Brief and Bra in Black

How do I wash Awwa Period Underwear?

We recommend rinsing thoroughly by hand first, then pop in a cold wash with your other clothes and line dry. DO NOT use fabric softener as it can block and prevent the moisture wicking and anti-microbial technologies from working. 

Why should I switch to Awwa period underwear?

Aside from the environmental benefits of reduced monthly waste, reusable menstrual products are more comfortable & breathable, and more convenient because you don't have to buy them every month. They also save money in the long run.

How do I find my size?

Firstly, make sure you measure yourself using our size guide.

Your hip measurement is the most important one when trying to find the right size underwear. For some of our higher waisted styles it's also helpful to know your waist measurement.

What is your return policy?

We are happy to accept returns of unopened, unworn, non-sale underwear within 20 days of delivery, for store credit.

Can Awwa undies be used for light bladder leaks?

Yes, AWWA underwear is suitable for minor bladder weakness (pregnant and older women rejoice!)

Can I wear Awwa postpartum?

For postpartum, generally we advise to wait the first few days after giving birth as your discharge will include blood, clots and lochia.  Clots and lochia contain solid and mucousy discharge and will (similar to the way a pad works) not allow the gusset to absorb effectively.
