Maya brief — Light Absorbency
Our high-waisted full brief style is next-level comfy. With the extra high waist and wide coverage on the butt, the cut follows your curves instead of cutting through them, so it almost feels like you're wearing no underwear at all. They may look big when you first see them flat or hanging, but once on your body it's a whole new level of comfort, while looking super flattering too.
Our Light Absorbency is for the run-up to your period days, the ‘is-my-period-over-yet’ days, heavy discharge, or back-up while wearing the menstrual cup or a tampon. It is basically the revolutionary built-in panty liner, just the much better version where nothing moves around or folds and no glue sticks to your skin. You literally feel like you’re wearing regular underwear, zero thickness, full flexibility, and then you have the added benefit of feeling protected. We love this absorbency that works for so many different uses.
Holds up to 5 ml – the equivalent of several pantyliners or 1 tampon/pad.
The Maya brief is also available in Super Light, Moderate and Super absorbency.

When measuring yourself, make sure the measuring tape is horizontal and follows your body closely, yet not too tightly. Waist measurement should be taken at the narrowest point of your waist, and hip measurements at the fullest part of your hip or bottom.
Consider your preferred fit. Some people prefer a tighter fit, while others prefer a looser fit. This really comes down to preference, so consider sizing down or up depending on what you feel most comfortable in.
Have a look at our full size & fit guide to make sure you pick the right size.
Comfortable design
We design in-house and with the starting point of our own experiences with underwear and period products. Underwear should feel like second skin and be comfortable to wear for any body shape.
Works for your body
Whether for dry days, leaks or bleeds, we’ve got you covered with 5 different absorbency levels. Because if your underwear isn’t doing anything, why are you even wearing it in the first place?
Safe materials
All fabrics are as a minimum GOTS- or OEKO-TEX-certified, minimising harmful chemicals. Also, we use the absolute minimum of synthetic fibres, and only when there is a functional reason to do so.
Styles for every body
We want as many people as possible to be able to choose a pair of underwear in the style they usually wear, but with the added benefit of leakproof protection.
