Mighty Eve at Angel Central Sustainable Market with period pants on the stall, 28-29 September 2024

You've probably had the moment: a heavy day, trousers you didn't want to have to think about, and a question you don't say out loud. Will these actually keep me dry, or will I be feeling it by mid-afternoon and just not showing it? It's not a dramatic question. For a lot of people it's the one that decides whether they buy period pants at all, or quietly put them back and reach for what they already know.

Nobody selling period pants tends to answer that question directly. So people end up asking strangers on forums instead, mid-decision, when it would have been far simpler to just be told.

On 28-29 September 2024, we had a stall at Angel Central Sustainable Market

On 28-29 September 2024, Mighty Eve had a stall at Angel Central Sustainable Market, held in the piazza at Angel Central shopping centre, 21 Parkfield Street, Islington, London N1 0PS, a market bringing together sustainable and eco-conscious traders. Our period pants range was on the table across the weekend, including the Mighty Protection Period Shorts, alongside our reusable pads and gift boxes, with a market-only discount on offer both days.

That year, Angel Central's own trader pack recorded the market growing to 43 trading dates in 2024, a market finding its feet and its footfall in its own right.

We've kept showing up at Angel Central since, including bringing our Mighty Protection Period Shorts back to the piazza that October (you can read about that day here), and again later that year. Markets like this one are where a lot of the honest, in-person version of the question above actually gets asked, face to face, without the hedging that creeps in online.

Ready to see for yourself?

If you've read this far, you've had a more direct answer than most product pages give you, the same directness we try to give people who ask us in person. Have a look at our period pants range and see if it answers the question you actually came here with.

Frequently asked questions

Will I feel wet?
For a lot of people, "wet" isn't really the word doing the work, it's "will I know before anyone else does." It's the mid-afternoon check in the loo, the glance behind you before you get up from a chair. Enough of us have flooded once, in public, and remembered the exact chair for years afterward that this isn't an overreaction, it's the sensible thing to want ruled out before you trust a pair of pants with a heavy day.

Not from the mechanics actually doing the work. The layer against your skin is bamboo charcoal, and its job is to pull moisture away rather than let it sit there, the opposite of how a pad can start to feel by the end of a long day. What it draws through gets absorbed and held by a microfibre core underneath, with a waterproof layer beneath built to keep it there rather than let it reach your clothes. So the honest answer is: it's designed so nothing sits on the surface long enough for you to notice it.
