I was skeptical at first, but these undies have changed my life! So comfortable and absorbent, I don't have to worry if I leak a little anymore. ~ Irene. From Sydney

FAQ's
How do leak-proof knickers work?
Our knickers use advanced multi-layer technology to absorb liquid, lock in odours, and keep you feeling dry. The top layer wicks moisture away, while the built-in absorbent core holds leaks securely—without feeling bulky.
What can I use them for?
while absorbencies vary, they're perfect for periods, light bladder leaks, discharge, postpartum recovery, and even sweat. Whether you're sleeping, exercising, or on the go—they’ve got you covered.
How much can they hold?
Our knickers can absorb up to 2–4 tampons’ worth, depending on the style. Check each product description for exact absorbency levels to find your perfect match.
When do I need to change them?
It depends on your flow or level of leaks. Most ShineSisters can be worn for up to 8–10 hours, just like a regular pair of undies. On heavier days or if you’re unsure, it’s a good idea to bring a spare pair—just like you would with pads or tampons. You’ll know it’s time to change when the gusset starts to feel damp.
Do they feel like wearing a pad?
Not at all. Our gusset is thin, flexible and breathable—designed to feel just like your favourite pair of knickers. Soft, comfy, and completely discreet.
How do I wash and care for them?
It’s simple: rinse in cold water, then machine wash in a bag on gentle cycle with mild detergent. Line dry—no fabric softeners or dryers, please. With proper care, they’ll last for years.
Do I need to wear a pad or liner?
Nope! Our knickers are designed to be a complete replacement for disposables during light to moderate leaks. If you have a very heavy flow, you may prefer to pair them with a cup or tampon.
How long do they last?
With the right care, your No Worry Knickers can last 2–3+ years or 100+ washes—making them a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to disposable products.

Really happy with my purchase, arrived quickly, fit great and wrapped in tissue paper not individual plastic packets like some I've brought online before
Store owner replied:
Thank you for your feedback, Kim. We’re sorry to hear this style hasn’t worked well for you. The Cindy should fit comfortably without being baggy around the bottom, so it does sound like the fit may not be quite right for you. We also really appreciate your feedback regarding the fabric and odour, as this is something we take seriously when developing and improving our styles. We’re currently working on several new designs and will take your experience into consideration. 💕
Fits nice but not keen on the protection all the way up to waist on the back with the seams as can't wear with fitted clothing
Store owner replied:
Thank you for your feedback. The extended protection up the back is designed to give some extra reassurance against leaks, but we completely understand that it can make the underwear more visible under fitted clothing. We’re currently working on some new styles with a more discreet design for exactly this reason. We really appreciate you sharing your experience with us. 💕
I really dislike this product - if I could give less than 1 star I probably would. Unfortunately I bought 3 pairs.
They don’t feel high-waisted (the waist band is well below my belly button), the overall fabric is very stiff, the gusset is far too wide and stiff and they were very obvious under my sports gear. I actually wore a pair to gym to give them a fair go but I found them very uncomfortable and made me feel incredibly self conscious. I don’t think they deliver what they say they do.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m really sorry this style wasn’t right for you. Fit and comfort can be very individual, but I completely understand your concerns about the rise, gusset width and visibility under fitted clothing.
I’m currently working on a new high waist style with a higher rise, softer feel and a more discreet design under clothing, and feedback like yours is genuinely helpful while I’m developing and improving the range.
If you’d like, please reach out to me through the website and I’d be happy to add you to the list to be notified when the new styles are ready.

For tall people the mid height is too low. It keeps rolling down.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate you sharing your experience with the fit. We’re currently working on some new styles with a higher rise and improved fit to help address issues like rolling down. Feedback like yours is really helpful as we continue improving our range. 💕
Very happy with them, comfortable and makes me feel secure.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for your feedback, Sharon. We’re sorry this style wasn’t quite the right fit for you, but we’re so glad to hear the Comfy Janes were a better fit and worked well for you. 💕
Size is too loose around the top of legs and after wearing for an hour become baggy and loose in crutch.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for your feedback, Dianna. We’re sorry to hear the fit wasn’t right for you. This style has a high-cut leg design, so if they felt loose or baggy, it’s possible they were too big for you, although different body shapes can also affect fit and comfort. Please feel free to reach out to us through the website so we can help with sizing and find a style that may suit you better. 💕
Look & feel good.
Not happy about not being able to put in washing machine.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for your feedback, Karen. Just to reassure you, our underwear can absolutely be washed in the washing machine. We recommend popping them in a wash bag and washing with your regular detergent. Just avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as these can affect the absorbency. They’re not suitable for the hot dryer, so we recommend line drying. 💕
I bought 3 pairs of the high-waisted version but I don’t find them high enough - I like high-waisted to be around my belly button, these are a long way below. They sit too low to wear to the gym under activewear. Disappointed.
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much, Penny! We’re so happy to hear you’re loving your undies and have come back for a second order. We really appreciate your continued support. 💕
I expected them to be high waisted and for me (could be my body shape) they are not high waisted. The seam shows under my gym pants, the seam where the gussett part goes all the way to the waist band. I didn't think they felt comfortable but I will keep trying them.
The fit is perfect, I like the feel of the fabric and it has given me confidence when out and about. Much better than wasting money on liners which I used just in case it was a day I might have needed them. Initially I thought they looked big and bulky but they certainly aren’t and look like normal pants when wearing them.
The underwear are huge. Like a nappy. Tried unsuccessfully to have them returned. Emailed many times. In the end I just returned them to the PO Box. Never heard back from them. Waste of money.
They feel nice and great to wear. They certainly stop leaks going through to clothing. They are amazing if good at that.
The issue I have experienced is the do not keep me dry, after slight leak I feel wet. The outside is completely dry. This may be the product is not suited to my situation as I feel it’s a good product however, I did go through 3 pairs to keep dry and have to wash in between. I am hoping this feedback is useful for further enhancing the product.
I love the fabric and the quality! My only recommendation would be to also do another style where the black gusset doesn’t go so far up the back. For women who wear them to avoid wearing liners
Firstly the shipping was extremely slow.
I was beginning to think my order was lost.
When it finally arrived I was quite pleased with the look but comfort was not so great.
I also felt as effective as the underwear is. The odour is an issue.
Back to the pads for me sadly 😞
Beautiful fabric & I love the no seams. Although even though I ordered small, I found the legs way too big so they were uncomfortable on & creeped. I am a standard size 10 so thought the small size should have been perfect. Shame, but just can't but up with the pants creeping up.
