How to Choose the Right Absorbency Level for You

Leaks don’t follow a schedule—and they definitely don’t stick to one definition. Whether you’re managing your period, navigating postpartum recovery, or want peace of mind on the school run or at the boardroom table, Wicks offers four thoughtfully engineered absorbency levels to meet your moment.

1. All Day Fresh
• For when you’re not bleeding, but just want to stay fresh. Think: discharge, ovulation, light bladder leaks, or hot days.
• These breathable pieces feature a single absorbent layer (no waterproof backing), offering subtle, comfortable support when you just want to feel fresh. They are not intended for period management.

2. Light Flow
• Perfect for: the tail end of your period or unexpected trickles - maybe you're laughing, maybe you're coughing, we all need a little absorbency.
• Holds 10–15 mL of liquid
• Slim and discreet for lighter days—without compromising on style.

3. Moderate Flow
• Your everyday hero.
• Holds 15–20 mL (equivalent to 3–4 regular tampons).
• Ideal for consistent flow, light incontinence, or if you’re easing into absorbent lingerie for the first time.

4. Heavy Flow
• For when you need full protection—period or otherwise.
• Holds 25–30 mL (equivalent to 5 regular tampons).
• The go-to for heavy period days, overnights, or those oh-no moments postpartum or perimenopause can throw at you.
