Best period knickers for a petite teen?

11 replies

DD would like to try some reusable period knickers but we are confused by all the options. Any recommendations for a petite size 4/6 that wont break the bank.

hopeful bump? I'm so confused by all the different types?
Modibodi say they come up small does anyone have experience of their sizing???

Hello,

I have XS modibodi which is a UK8
If I put my measurements into the teen size check it comes up with age 12-14.
So if your DD is a UK4-6 I guess you'd need the next size down which would be a age 10-12

You can try them free. Modibodi are one of the more pricey options but they are good.

The teens have some really lovely patterns and styles.

My DD is the same size and uses Wuka pants - they do a basics range now which are £12 each.

Primark sell some now and so do M&S, not sure how good they are or price

Modibodi definitely seem to be the best in terms of absorbency. I think you get what you pay for! My daughter is a size 6 to 8 and wears an xs

I have primark, excellent quality, I was very surprised. I think they were a three pack for 12.99.

Sainsbury's do some really good ones online. I can't remember the brand but I'm a size 6 and they fit me well

My daughters got cheeky ones that seem to work well. 25% off with "cheekyschools"

My daughter is a small size 8 and she really likes the Bodyform ones, from Tesco but not cheap £24.99 per pair. Recently down to £19.99. They last all day in school and look really flattering.

My daughter has some of the smallest cheeky wipes ones in the shorts style which are quite small fitting. She's quite tall but slender. She's got a swimsuit from modibodi and I'd say if their sizing is reliable across the range then they probably do run quite small.

Primark are too big for my slim teen, 5ft6 and 7 stone.
She has modibodi as the only ones she's found that don't leak. Cheeky wipes ones have leaked on her. She gets the boy short teen ones and fits in both the largest sizes (can't remember what they are now). If I were to buy more I'd get 14-16 now but when I bought them a year ago I got the size down too which she still fits in but the bigger one is better for her now.
