Absorbent underwear is lifechanging! If you haven't tried it yet, I cannot recommend it highly enough. The confidence it gives in all situations and its flexibility to suit all ages of women is making this underwear the eco-friendly game changer! No more crinkly wrappers and sticky pads, this underwear is discreet, easy to use and saves you money.

Perfect for those who have a slightly heavier flow and need the extra absorbency or coverage, both day AND night (those back leaks begone!!!!). These can be used as backup for super heavy periods to catch any overflow or used alone for moderate/heavy and light flow. 

This winning combination can absorb 4-5 tampons of fluid. That’s around 20-25ml of menstrual fluid. 

As well as great for use during periods and postpartum, these are perfect for those of us who need some absorbency daily. Light bladder leakage is common and doesn’t need to be embarrassing or restricting. This underwear is waterproof and exactly what we need for THOSE moments. Coughing, sneezing, laughing, running, or heaven forbid jumping...all are covered, as well as those that have a little extra trickle or discharge.

Featuring a sophisticated, flexible, sheer mesh panel which is supported by a wide, soft knitted elastic waistband. The brief has a stretchy cotton/elastane outer and a super absorbent, cotton, full gusset centre giving you flexible skin loving comfort. The waterproof layer keeps all the fluid where it is supposed to be, giving you confidence and protection.  

The sizing is true to size. Models are wearing size 8 and size 12.

Please try the knickers on over your own underwear and leave sanitary protection label intact in case you need to change sizes.

Fabric Composition:

Against your skin :    95% Organic Cotton 5% Elastane

Middle layers to absorb and protect:  95% Cotton 5% Elastane and a layer of breathable PUL

Outer comfort:   95% Cotton 5% Elastane

 Was before use to remove sticky label residue.

Responsibly made in China by a registered and authenticated factory where staff are treated fairly.

Our day insert set is made up of one large and one small insert . This means our inserts can be used individually, together or in combination with other absorbency materials and products.

Snaps at each end of the large insert allow the inserts to be positioned to suit your baby.

With natural fibre sources of bamboo and cotton, our inserts are super trim and super absorbent. Each insert is made up of 4 luscious layers of heavyweight 360gsm bamboo/cotton blend fleece. With 70% Viscose from Bamboo and 30% Cotton, there are no oil-based synthetics used in our absorbency.

Bamboo is super absorbent but needs some stability so is blended with another fibre. We choose to use cotton over polyester or microfibre, as we want our inserts to not only be long lasting but be biodegradable and compostable at their end of life.

Use the 2 inserts to make 3 custom absorption levels.

Stage 1 is the small insert alone. Perfect for newborn, small babies and light wetters.

Stage 2 is the large insert alone. Great for those that have started to soak through the small insert alone. This works well for light/medium wetters and usually has enough capacity for most babies until their journey into toddlerhood.

Stage 3 is the 2 inserts snapped together giving you 8 layers of serious absorbability! This suits heavier wetters and older kiddos as their bladder capacity and ability to hold larger volume of fluids increases.

Inserts are designed to be larger to fit for longer, and to compensate for the normal shrinkage that occurs during washing and drying of natural fabrics.

For full absorbency to be reached our inserts need to be washed and dried 8-10 times, but one wash is all you need to prepare them for first use.

Carefully designed, tested, and used in New Zealand by a cloth mum and responsibly made in a small factory in China where the wonderful, experienced employees are treated fairly.

Midnight Bloom, the evening flower too beautiful to keep for night.

 Soft blue watercolour foliage and flowers, contrasting on the deep black background make this print stunning. A perfect addition to 'A Portrait of Sleep'.

This is a second nappy and may have some faulty snaps. The fault is minor and affects the strength of the snap closure. Some may be weaker than normal.

Flutterby is what sweet dreams are made of. Gentle butterflies and fragrant flowers.

The delicate foliage and elegant flowers provide a haven for the graceful butterflies. A soft place to rest their weary wings and lull them to sleep.

Meremere is a celebration of the evening star and the depth of beauty in the night.

Our extra-large hemp/cotton blend insert is made specifically for night-time and is one of largest available on the market. The super-sized insert is designed to fill the nappy pocket or lay on top of the stay dry layer if you wish. This is also able to be used with any night set up you may already have including covers, both PUL and wool.

The first layer is a super soft mid weight 280gsm bamboo and cotton blend which is safe against baby's skin and helps increase absorption rate so it can move through to the slower absorbing layers of hemp. Hemp is the thirstiest of materials and can hold the largest amount of fluid which makes it perfect for night-time.

Snaps at each end of the super large insert allow it to be customised to your baby's needs. 

With natural fibre sources of bamboo, hemp, and cotton, this insert is super trim and insanely absorbent. The insert is made up of 4 luscious layers of heavyweight hemp/cotton blend fleece and 1 layer of midweight 280gsm bamboo/cotton blend fleece. With 55% Hemp and 45% Cotton, there are no oil-based synthetics used in our absorbency.

Hemp is super absorbent but can be very stiff and needs some softening so is blended with another fibre. We choose to use cotton over polyester or microfibre, as we want our inserts to not only be long lasting but be biodegradable and compostable at their end of life.

Use our inserts to make custom absorption levels for night-time.

Stage 1 is the small day insert with the hemp booster. Perfect for babies starting to sleep for longer periods that need the extra absorption but are still having the nappy snapped small.

Stage 2 for when the small insert isn’t quite enough, the long day insert can be used instead of the small insert for medium wetters.

Stage 3 is the XL Hemp Night insert alone. Great for those that have started to soak through the small inserts. This suits medium wetters and older babies who have the nappy starting to snap in the larger sizes. This gives you greater coverage and seriously increases the absorption level. For some kiddos this may be all they need until they no longer use night nappies.

Stage 4 is the XL Hemp Night insert with the hemp booster. This gives you 10 layers of absorption, 9 of which are hemp! This is great for heavy wetters and bigger kiddos.

Stage 5 includes the large day insert at the front of the 2 hemp inserts (great for kiddos prone to flooding and need faster absorption or very, VERY heavy wetters like mine!) which gives you a whopping 14 layers of natural fibre absorption!

Inserts are designed to be larger to fit for longer, and to compensate for the normal shrinkage that occurs during washing and drying of natural fabrics. Hemp will shrink by a lot with repeated washing, which is absolutely normal and will improve absorbency.

For full absorbency to be reached our inserts need to be washed and dried 8-10 times, but one wash is all you need to prepare them for first use.

Our large hemp/cotton blend booster is made specifically for night-time and heavy wetters. This insert is designed to be used for additional absorbency at night as well as a booster for heavy wetters during the day.

With natural fibre sources of hemp and cotton, this insert is super trim and crazy absorbent. The insert is made up of 5 luscious layers of heavyweight hemp/cotton blend fleece. With 55% Hemp and 45% Cotton, there are no oil-based synthetics used in our absorbency.

Hemp is super absorbent but can be very stiff and needs some softening so is blended with another fibre. We choose to use cotton over polyester or microfibre, as we want our inserts to not only be long lasting but be biodegradable and compostable at their end of life.

Use our 5-layer hemp booster to make custom absorption levels, added into any arrangement you have day or night. Top up your heavy day wetter nappy or gain some serious absorption by adding in with the XL Hemp Night Insert for your night nappies.

Inserts are designed to be much larger to fit for longer, and to compensate for the normal shrinkage that occurs during washing and drying of natural fabrics. Hemp will shrink by a lot with repeated washing which is absolutely normal and will improve absorbency.

For full absorbency to be reached our inserts need to be washed and dried 8-10 times, but one wash is all you need to prepare them for first use.
