Why Size Matters for the Basic Mid-Rise Brief Light 5 Pack
Getting the right size in period underwear is key to both comfort and leak protection. The Basic Mid-Rise Brief Light 5 Pack from Modibodi is designed to fit and feel like your everyday underwear, but with a built-in absorbent lining that needs to sit correctly to work. This guide walks you through how to measure yourself, what size options are available, and what to expect from the light absorbency level.
Available Sizes for the Basic Mid-Rise Brief Light 5 Pack
The 5-pack comes in seven US sizes: 4/XS, 6/S, 8/M, 10/L, 12/XL, 14/2XL, and 16/3XL. Each pack contains five identical briefs in one size, so you'll want to choose the size that matches your usual underwear or measurements. The brief is a classic mid-rise cut, which means it sits at your natural waist without riding too high or low.
How to Measure for the Best Fit
Use a soft measuring tape and follow these steps to find your size. If you're between sizes, consider sizing up for a more comfortable fit.
- Measure your waist: Wrap the tape around the narrowest part of your waist, usually just above your belly button. Keep the tape snug but not tight.
- Measure your hips: Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks.
- Compare with Modibodi's size chart: Modibodi provides a size chart on their site. Match your waist and hip measurements to the recommended size. The Basic Mid-Rise Brief is designed to fit true to size for most body types.
Product Facts: What the Pack Includes
-
Basic Mid-Rise Brief Light 5 Pack: This pack includes 5 x Basic Mid-Rise Brief Light Black. Each brief has light absorbency: 20 mls, equivalent to up to 4 tampons* (*based on 5ml tampon). Knowing the absorbency helps you decide if this pack suits your flow needs. Light absorbency is ideal for the start or end of your cycle, or for 'just in case' days.

-
Basic Mid-Rise Brief Light 5 Pack: Crafted from Certified Organic Cotton that's soft on the skin, super comfy, and proudly Vegan. The organic cotton fabric is gentle on sensitive skin and breathable, making the brief comfortable for all-day wear.
-
Basic Mid-Rise Brief Light 5 Pack: Fits and feels like your everyday underwear, with a super slim built-in lining to absorb period blood and discharge without leaking. The slim lining means you don't have to choose between protection and a natural feel under clothes.
-
Basic Mid-Rise Brief Light 5 Pack: Black lining controls odour and stops unwanted stains. The dark lining provides extra confidence against visible marks and helps manage odor, especially on lighter flow days.
Who the Light Absorbency Best Serves
The Basic Mid-Rise Brief Light is perfect for the start or end days of your cycle, or for 'just in case' days when you're not sure if your period will start. It's also suitable as backup for a menstrual cup or tampon, or for light discharge. If you have a heavier flow, you may want to look at the Moderate or Super absorbency options in the same cut.
Care Tips to Maintain Fit and Absorbency
To keep your Modibodi briefs working well, follow the care instructions: rinse the underwear in cold water immediately after wearing, then machine wash on a gentle cold cycle. Hang to dry—do not use a dryer, as heat can damage the absorbent layers. Washing before first use activates the leak-proof technology.
When to Consider a Different Size or Style
If your measurements fall between sizes, it's usually better to size up for comfort, especially if you prefer a looser fit or have a fuller hip. The mid-rise brief works well for most body shapes, but if you prefer a higher waist or a different coverage level, Modibodi offers other cuts like the Hi Waist or Boyshort. For lighter days or as a backup, the Basic Mid-Rise Brief Light is a reliable choice.
