Period Swimwear

A period shouldn’t stop you from enjoying the water. And now it doesn’t have to with our period swimwear that uses patented leak-proof protection and good-looking togs to keep you doing what you want to.

Take Period Swimmers to the Pool, Beach or Bach

Your everyday togs have one job. Modibodi period swimmers have two. And they do them well. Inside the gusset, there’s a fast-drying layer absorbing period blood and helping keep odour under control. On the outside, the water-resistant fabric helps keep most of the pool or ocean where it belongs, while looking good while doing it.

All that protection also stays neatly tucked inside the swimmers, which is why they’re the period swimwear NZ girlies love for beach days and pool swims. There’s no puffy liner filled with water and no saggy feeling when it’s time to get out. 

Before you ask, yes, we have absorbencies to suit your changing flow throughout the week too. Start with a Light style or go for Super swimmers that can absorb up to 50 ml or ten tampons’ worth. Check our absorbency guide so you can find pairs for every swim.

Pick the Best Period Swimwear for Your Plans 

Swimmers you put on for your morning laps are likely different to the ones you want for a day floating around with friends. The best period swimwear knows how to fit the plans as well as the body wearing it.

For those laps, you’ll probably want something more supportive. Racerback styles can handle that. Or, for more coverage, one-piece period swimwear gives you that added cover and the protection built into the gusset. Or, you can explore our period bikini collection for classic briefs, high-waist cuts, hi-leg styles and swim shorts to pair with triangle, scoop and crop tops. 

Using our size guide can help make it easy to work out your fit too. You want a close fit around the gusset and leg openings to let the liner do its job, while still having enough room to dive, stretch, paddle and splash.

Super period swimwear styles are designed for being worn in the water on heavier flow days. The patented leak-proof protection layer can absorb up to 50 ml, or 10 tampons’ worth. Always check the listed absorbency for each style and change the swimmers once the protection is nearing capacity. You may be able to feel a change in dryness against the skin when this happens.

It depends on your flow and the absorbency of the swimmers, so there’s no one single time for every person or wear. Check the gusset regularly and change into a fresh pair when needed, particularly after leaving the water.

Yes, Modibodi period swimwear is made for swimming in both salt water and chlorinated pools. When you get out of the water, rinse the fabric in cold, fresh water as soon as possible to help remove salt or chlorine and period blood.
