The Problem With Period Undies Today
When it comes to a teen or tween's first (or tenth!) period, confidence and comfort are the most important priorities. Everything is new, hormones are wild, and home, while close, could still be several hours away. The last thing anyone wants? Period underwear that can’t do its job.
When it comes to choosing period products, trust is key – especially for young people navigating their first periods. Yet for many period underwear brands out there, promises aren’t fulfilled, leaving our young ones worried, self-conscious, or even hidden away during their menstruation.
Our thoughts? Nerves on your period are unacceptable.
To us, period undies should be empowering, never stifling. And every person – no matter their age, style, or size – deserves to be confident.
Plus, our ethos considers activities like sports or beach days to be a must, especially when someone is menstruating. That means your period wear – from underwear to pyjamas to swimmers – should be tailored to your lifestyle. Not you tailoring your lifestyle towards your period products.
However, aspiration doesn’t equate to action. So the question is: Should you trust Knicked period underwear?
Where Other Period Underwear Brands Are Going Wrong
The truth about the competition: Fit, function, and frustration
Reviews and forums such as Reddit’s Australian Female Fashion page deem poor period underwear to stem from six main pain points:
- Poor fit/inconsistent sizing
- Bulky or stiff padding
- Leaks on heavy days
- Long drying times
- High cost not matched by quality
- Lack of public reviews or transparency
These issues erode consumer trust, making people feel uncomfortable, deceived, and disheartened. And that’s not even mentioning the added toll it takes on our youngest menstruators!
