Shoppers lose it over period undies: 'Comfiest thing I've ever worn'

AWWA is a female-owned brand that's focused on making sustainable and inclusive period products. Founded by New Zealand friends Michelle and Kylie, who were determined to create a more empowering and sustainable way of dealing with periods, AWWA's name is derived from the Māori word "awa" meaning river or flow.

All of AWWA's period and incontinence underpants are made from natural, organic or recycled fabrics, and are designed to remove the hassle, waste and disruption from your period day. Each pair is super absorbent, moisture-wicking, anti-microbial and leak resistant, helping to keep you dry all day long.
