1 pair absorbs 9 tampons of flow
Absorbs 9 tampons worth of flow or five pads. Perfect for super heavy days.

Hi, I’m the Heavy High Waisted with an Extended Gusset. If I could, I would have called myself The Heavy Heavy High Waisted. I’m the exact same style as your favorite Heavy High Waisted Period. but with one big difference - I have an extended absorbent gusset that goes all the way from the top of the front to the top of the back. In other words, my absorbent panel is maxed out to as far as you can take it, so you can have even more confidence in going leak-free. I’m perfect for those first few heavy days when you might be back-flowing, front-flowing, or everywhere-flowing. It’s okay. We’ve all been there. I’m super soft, made of comfy cotton, and here to give you the super safe feeling that we all want on our heavy days. 

When do wear: on those days when you need all out protection.

This style is intended for postpartum use and is very supportive in the lower abdomen area. if you want a more relaxed fit, we recommend sizing up. 

You can see our size chart here.

How long will one pair of Period. last?

Everybody periods differently so it’s tough to be exact. Our average time is about 8 hours on a heavier flow day. Though some customers need to change after 3 to 4 hours, and others can go up to 14 hours (lucky them!). As your period gets lighter, one pair can take you through the day and night (just like regular underwear). But again, everybody Periods differently, so you need to take one cycle to figure out exactly how often you need to change. Start with a conservative estimate on your heavy days, and check in on your Period underwear after 4 hours. If you still feel good, give it another hour. Keep going until you figure out your limit. Here at Period, we find we need between 3 to 4 pairs on the first two heavy days, including evenings. And if you leak, please forgive us! Just this once. (Remember how many tampons you have forgiven). Treat the ‘leak’ as a gift and note the hour of your leakage. That is the best indicator of your ‘flow threshold’ how long the underwear will last for you.

Message from a Coral Reef: Hi! Thank you for using non disposable products. It may feel like a small gesture - but it’s not. I’m sick of getting tampons and pads getting caught up in my beautiful branches and you’re helping to keep that trash out of my home. Just one pair of Period means that 5 pads/9 tampons are never used or thrown away. Thank you! Next time you swim by me, stop and say hi.

    Works Great

    It doesn’t last as long as the overnight shorts, but they are great, comfortable, stay dry. For me, I could wear these on a heavy day for 5-6 hours, on the slow day I could wear them all day.

    Haunted by heavy periods and this doesn't keep me dry

    This is by far the only underwear that saves me from leakage but very limitedly, the others on the market are worst for me. Even on a light day, 5 underwear a day cause it holds so little imo and once "full" to Unknown standards it will. Not hold anymore and will feel wet.

    The only plus, is the full coverage from front to back which is impossible to find elsewhere.

    The fit also runs extremely big. I had to get a size smaller and it still big.

    Higher cut than other styles

    I have just about every other style of period. and I love them. I've used them for years, and have gotten new styles as they came out. I have pretty much liked then all. This one I do not. I will give it credit - it is very absorbent and had extra coverage front and back. Usually if I need to go a half day between pairs on day one or two, I'd use the sleeper. But it's bulky under jeans or leggings, so I thought I'd try this out as a better option. First, the legs are higher cut than the regular high-wasted so I felt like I had a permanent wedgie plus got a little leakage just from it not providing the coverage on the inner legs. I like the extra front/back coverage, but it goes all the way up to the waist band and that's a lot of added bulk in the front. When you sit down, it's noticable - like an extra fat roll. It did last a half day - but it wasn't nearly as comfortable as any of my other period. I'll possibly use it overnight if I'm in a bind on my sleeper pairs not being dry, but I certainly wouldn't buy this style again.
