Who Is AWWA?

Born in Aotearoa New Zealand, AWWA redefines period care with innovative, sustainable period-proof underwear. The name “AWWA” comes from the Māori word “awa” meaning river or flow. Māori traditionally referred to menstruation as te awa atua - the divine river - and AWWA aims to help every person feel divine and empowered during their cycle.

Period-Proof & Pee-Proof Innovation

AWWA’s slimline, absorbent underwear looks and feels just like normal underwear but can hold and absorb up to five regular pads or tampons’ worth. Using the latest in fabric technology, it keeps you comfortable, fresh and dry all day while reducing single-use waste and ongoing costs.

For Teens, Pregnancy & Everyday Confidence

More than just for menstruation, AWWA underwear gives newly menstruating teens confidence, supports people during pregnancy and post-partum, and provides discreet protection for minor bladder leakage. It’s washable, reusable, and designed to make you feel secure and empowered every month.
