1 pair absorbs 9 tampons of flow

Heavy absorbency: designed for heavy nights, mid flow nights and outrageous day 1s.  

Absorbs up to 10 tampons or 6 pads of flow. 

I’m dedicated to giving you a good night’s sleep on your period. I have a built in five layer padding that absorbs vertical flow and horizontal flow, because when you sleep your period can flow a little differently and I want to make sure your night is leak proof.  I’m made of soft organic cotton and am cozy, comfy and snug so you feel safe and secure and like you’re wearing a combo of your favorite leggings and PJs. I’m also great for those outrageous first heavy days, when if you have an option of laying on a couch all day, you take it. Sleep well.

When to wear: on heavy nights, or very heavy days.

This style fits like a true bike short.

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 used tampon: Hi, I’m a tampon that was last used in 1946 - only once - and I’m still languishing on a land fill. As you can imagine, I’ve had a lot of time to reflect. What was the point of me? Why did someone use me once for just a few hours and nearly a hundred years later, I’m still here? Why? This feels like a pretty stupid system to me. Please overthrow it! Please use non-disposable products so that no tampon ever has to feel this useless again. Thank you.

    Great as actual shorts! Ordered XS for S

    Wearing them literally as shorts, fits great, they looks like just nice bike shorts but they are for periods! Great quality and fast exchange if wrong size ordered,

    So Comfy and Effective

    I had tried two other brands of period underwear prior to finding these, and neither were great. Both were overpriced and too tight for me, and the second pair I got, even though it said they were 100% organic cotton, had a polyester mesh gusset, all the stitching was really rough on my skin, and the gusset didn't even reach up to the top of my crack to catch drips when sleeping on my back.

    Bikini fit underwear irritate my skin and cut into my cheeks, so I prefer wearing boxer briefs, and polyester makes my skin very sweaty and itchy. I was so happy to find The Period Company has cotton "boxers" (boxer briefs) and these "Sleeper Period." shorts that are primarily organic cotton for the main fabric AND the gusset, and 25-35% cheaper than the other period underwear I've tried!!

    I prefer loose clothing, especially when I'm bloated during my period, and I can't stand tight elastic bands. I've also read that most period underwear tend to run small to make sure they stay close to your skit to catch leaks. I typically wear a size large for underwear, so even though the size chart for these recommended the medium size, I decided to order these in large. They fit my tummy and hips well, even when I'm bloated, and they stay up and don't roll. While they're a bit loose on my thighs when standing, they still provide plenty of protection. With all the extra layers of fabric, they do stick out a bit from my butt like a diaper, but I primarily got these for wearing while I sleep or for…

    Comfortable and absorbent

    These shorts are absorbent enough for overnights but attractive enough to wear during the day as shorts.

    Sizing is way off and can’t return

    I bought S and I’m always S or even

    M sometimes (27-28 jeans size). This was huge and not tight, so won’t hold anything and I can’t return even I tried it on my clean underwear (return policy doesn’t allow open returns). How do you suppose to understand it doesn’t fit if the package is closed???

    Perfection

    Does what it says it will. Had the best sleep not worrying about leaking. The only complaint is that there's a little bit of extra fabric and it seems like I'm right between their medium and large sizes so I don't think there's much to do about that 😅
