No Boundaries Women's High-Rise Brief Period Underwear 2-Pack
Period underwear likely contains water-repellent coating treatment (PFAS concern); brand discloses nothing, skip unless certified PFAS-free.
No Boundaries period briefs use absorbent textiles with moisture barriers to prevent leakage; these barrier treatments are often fluorine-based PFAS compounds. The brand provides no disclosure about PFAS avoidance or third-party testing.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 45% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
