Lacuna Sports offers these bikini-style leakproof pants as part of their women’s cricket collection, but they are an option for runners too. Made from 93% bamboo, they are super soft to the touch, odour-fighting and breathable. They can absorb up to 40ml of liquid, and are great for coping with moderate period flow and protection from leaks and sweat. I tested them out on a long run and felt secure and comfortable and they didn’t feel bulky at all. Lacuna says they are designed to be a snug fit, but I went a size up for a bit more coverage. I did feel a little self-conscious about VPL in my running tights to be honest and I would have preferred a seam-free option.
