Sweat Proof & Moisture Wicking Underwear

Top FAQs

What is moisture-wicking underwear?

Moisture-wicking underwear, also known as period underwear, is specially designed to protect you against irritation and chafing by pulling sweat and other liquids away from the skin and into the absorbent liner where it can evaporate. These specialized liners can absorb pee, blood, sweat and discharge. This makes them ideal for wearing, on (and off!) your period because, let’s be real, urine leaks, sweat and discharge can happen at any time. Plus, even on your driest days they serve as a comfortable pair of everyday undies.

How does moisture-wicking underwear work?

At Proof®, our moisture-wicking liner works to pull wetness away from the body to help you feel dry and protected. Our leakproof undies feature a series of layers - all with a purpose. Starting with the Quik-Wick layer that pulls moisture away from your body to keep you feeling dry and comfortable. Next comes the Drop-Stop layer, an interlocking liner that provides an absorbent center designed to pull in moisture and actively fight odors. Next up is the Seep-Shield Liner, a thin and breathable liner that offers even more protection. The No-Flo layer follows suit; say hello to super-soft waterproof fabric that doubles up your protection. Lastly, we offer specialized Leak-Loc® edges that lock in moisture to further prevent leaks. Even with all of this built-in protection, they look and feel like everyday underwear.
