Modibodi Discount Codes July 2025

At a certain point, most wearable tech doesn’t involve batteries or Bluetooth - it just involves not ruining your trousers. Yes, we’re talking about period underwear. It’s not glamorous, but it’s useful. And now that the initial wave of wide-eyed eco-marketing has died down, what's left are products like Modibodi’s range of leak-proof underwear and swimwear: modestly engineered, comfort-forward, and refreshingly upfront about what they can (and can’t) do.

Underwear with a Job to Do

Modibodi has been around long enough to earn its title as the "OG" of the period pant world, and whether or not that achievement deserves celebration depends on your enthusiasm for textile innovation. Their pitch is quietly bold: underwear that absorbs menstrual flow directly - no need for pads, tampons, or the increasingly fiddly disc. Some wearers still use them as backup; others go all in. Either way, the product is the same: built-in absorbent linings (about 3mm thick, which is thinner than the drama of a product demo might suggest), odor-minimising tech, and thoughtfully basic cuts.

Right now, many of the bestselling pieces - including the "Basic Brazilian" and the teen-favoured "Sleep Short 2 Pack" - are marked down by 25%. That puts the Basic Brazilian at £10.49 (down from £13.99) and the teen shorts set at £29.99 (down from £39.99). Not cheap, exactly, but not outrageous either, especially if you’ve already bought cheaper versions elsewhere and ended up with, say, a very unfortunate bus ride memory to show for it. Shipping is a flat £4 for standard UK delivery, or free if your order tips £50. There's also a vaguely generous 60-day risk-free trial for first-time customers - provided you only try one pair and email them first before unleashing your refund rage.

Form, Function, and a Slightly Sceptical Fabric Lap

The underwear themselves don’t scream tech, which is the point. The materials feel soft and drapey rather than medical, and the absorbent layer avoids the crinkle-and-bulk trap that plagued earlier iterations of period trousers. There are various absorbency levels - Light, Moderate, Super - but absent an external flow gauge, you’ll need to experiment a bit to find yours. Luckily, they’re washable and reusable, just not immortal. The "no fabric softener" rule is one to remember unless you enjoy compromising performance for fluffiness.

For younger wearers (or their guardians, the ones doing the laundry), the teen range is genuinely well-considered. Modest cuts, mature branding, and a tone that avoids the usual pastel-laced embarrassment traps. The "Teen Hipster Bikini Super" (currently £15.74, down from £20.99) is about as practical as it gets. It's leakproof, it fits, and - miracle of miracles - it doesn't come with a user manual or an app.

The Period Swimwear Dilemma: Functional Enough

Then there’s the swimwear. Modibodi’s splash-friendly offerings, including the Tidal Swimwear String Back One Piece (£74.99) and Tidal Hi Leg Bottoms (£35.99), promise light-flow backup while you’re poolside. The price tags are edging into boutique territory - and while they do use recycled ocean plastics (better than not), you’re still left wondering whether swim-time periods need a whole new wardrobe. The pieces don’t try too hard to look like catwalk swimwear, which is a relief. Think: minimalist cuts, dark colours, functional stitching. Not Bond-girl, but probably more practical on day two of your cycle.

Retail Therapy, Within Reason

Modibodi’s site is running its usual seasonal sale - spring, in this case - and while there's the now-obligatory banner promising 25% off new arrivals, not everything gets the markdown. Worth checking the Sale section directly, rather than trusting the homepage slogans. As with most DTC (direct-to-consumer) setups, you’ll need to buy through their site to access things like the risk-free trial, but returns outside of that are limited - it is underwear, after all. Refunds for unopened items are standard within 30 days, though you'll pay your own return shipping.

Final Note: Secretly Practical is Still Practical

In short: Modibodi is moderately priced, mostly effective, rarely stylish, and - crucially - does what it says. You won’t Instagram it. You may not even talk about it over coffee. But you will use it, and likely keep using it, which is more than can be said for most wellness-things crowding your feed. As far as underwear engineered for blood goes, this is not a revolution. Just a sensible evolution of trousers that actually pull their weight.

No tech start-up hype needed. Just fewer reasons to carry a spare pair in your bag.
