Customers are mixed about the comfort of the underpants. Some mention it's comfortable for overnight protection, and good for wearing the day you think you'll start so you do not stain. However, others say that the band was very tight and uncomfortable, the leg elastic was uncomfortable, and the underwear feels like you're wearing a diaper. Some say the undergarments are loose and not soft, and can be a little itchy.

Customers are mixed about the fit of the underpants. Some mention that they fit perfectly and look cute, while others say that they run a tad small. Some say that the size chart is not compatible with the size of items, and the top band is so tight that one's extra flesh protrudes above and below.

13 customers mention6 positive7 negative

Customers are mixed about the thickness of the underpants. Some mention that they are thin and absorbent, while others say that they feel bulky.

Worked great!

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2022

Size: SmallColor: Bikini 1 PackVerified Purchase

I was worried that they wouldn't be able to handle my period and wore them on my third day (lighter than day 1-2). They worked great and I didn't have any issues with leakage. The only problem is that I couldn't sleep in them because the absorbant part is only at the bottom and doesn't run along the back of the panties. I'm buying a pair of high waisted Thinx period underwear to address that issue. However, these are great for day time use and they cost a bit less than the Thinx bikini style panties. If I feel braver, I'll test them on a heavy flow day and see what happens.

I read comments to size up, please do. It is tight on some areas to have everything in place.

Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2022

I read comments saying to size up and I’m glad I did. At first glance it looked big, but once on it fit perfect. There is padding so I think that takes up the space. There is also tight stitching but the purpose of it is to keep it everything in place. Overall, it is a great product. I usually go through painful cycles and this helped with the pain. I would recommend!

Great for light days

Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2022

Size: X-LargeColor: Bikini 1 PackVerified Purchase

I really like these because compared to other period underwear I’ve bought they are very thin and comfortable and feel similar to sports or travel underwear. I don’t wear them during the day at all because that’s not my thing… I just get them to wear to bed so I don’t have to wear a tampon at night. I have moderate to mild flow and work up on my heaviest night with leakage up the back and on my bed which was annoying. But they work perfect for the other days. They also don’t look terrible… just kind of like sports wear

So easy and comfortable

Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2022

Size: LargeColor: Bikini 1 PackVerified Purchase

So happy with these! I thought they were comfortable and secure. For reference I’m 5’6” and 170lb and bought a L. I can see what others were saying about the tag, sometimes it would get flipped and could be a little itchy, but once adjusted it was fine, you could even cut it off. I’ve always been skeptical about period underwear but I was pleasantly surprised and these are so much more comfortable than pads/tampons, and it’s so much more convenient not having to deal with that hassle.

I recently bought these for my daughter who is 12. I use them myself, and she has grown out of another brand of period underwear. I really like how thin and absorbent these are. Don’t feel bulky and that is important to both she and I.

Game changer

Love this product! I used pads all my life and was so fed up with leaking and changing them out. This is such a life changer. No more spending money on menstrual supplies and dealing with messy leaks. I can walk around and sleep in comfort. It holds up for quite a long time and easy to clean.

Super Disappointed

Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2020

Size: LargeColor: Bikini 1 PackVerified Purchase

Originally gave these 4 stars after deceptive images showing the lining going all the way up in the back and not just being in the crotch. These are no longer in the main images used, but shown further down in the description. See my image.

Switching this to one star now. This is only my second cycle using this period underwear and there is already a hole on the side, next to the seam! I would certainly expect these to last far longer than wearing them twice, especially considering the price. I have cared for them exactly as expected - cold, gentle wash and hang dry. I also am only using these as back-up while using my cup, not free-bleeding so I'm not having to heavily rinse these out by any means. Extremely disappointed, as I've really liked everything else I've used from this brand.

------
When I first opened the package I was shocked because they looked HUGE. They are much wider than any of my normal underwear. But much to my surprise, I tried them on and they fit perfectly in the waist, maybe just slightly loose around the leg. They are not very stretchy at all, hence why they appear so much larger.

I am disappointed that the lining is not as it was pictured. The pictures (which have now been changed) showed the lining going all the way up in the back. However, these only have the lining in the crotch, about the size of a regular pad.

They're are fairly comfortable. I do sometimes feel the seam at the back of the lining.

I have only used these as a backup so I cannot attest for how well or how much they absorb.
