With heavy absorbency that holds 30mL of liquid (around 5 tampons’ worth), The Emily is designed for your heaviest period days or bladder leaks that require more absorbency.
The fit is full across the back, with a soft, extra-high waistband that sits comfortably and stays put. All-black, sleek, and endlessly wearable.
The Emily is our highest absorbent piece: designed for women who need more security in their functional underwear. Because comfort shouldn't be a compromise.
Inspired by one of our own (friend of Wicks and general icon Emily) who got in touch asking for a style with an extended gusset. Designed for more coverage, more comfort, and more confidence. The absorbent panel extends up to just shy of the waistband at both the front and back.
Designed for High Absorbency Needs
Perfect for overnight, daily wear, managing heavy periods or bladder leaks that require more absorbency. The high-waisted design gives extra coverage and support, while the soft, stretchy fabric ensures they move naturally with your body.
This style includes highly absorbent layering and an extended absorbent area. Easily absorbs 30mL of liquid.
Gives confidence to women managing LBL that requires a higher level of absorbency.
All Wicks Intimates pieces are antimicrobial and anti-odour.

Care Instructions
Our absorbent lingerie is designed to be worn and washed just like regular underwear.
To care for your garment:
- Cold or warm machine wash (not hot)
- Avoid fabric softeners
- Air dry when possible (air drying will extend the life of your garment)
- Be aware that very high heat will damage the waterproof barrier.
If your underwear has absorbed a lot of liquid, give them a rinse before putting them through the wash. Proper care maintain fabric quality and absorbent performance, ensuring your garment lasts for years.
