1 pair absorbs 4 tampons of flow

Medium to light absorbency. Also great for everyday leaks. Or just everyday. 

Absorbs up to 4 regular tampons worth of flow. 

Hi. I’m a new version of Period’s best-selling High Waisted in Cotton for Heavy Flows. But I can totally stand on my two feet or my amazingly absorbent gusset. I’m the softest cotton with a super soft safe organic cotton gusset. I’m great for pretty much everything - medium and light flow days, birth control periods, never-ending periods, and for pee leaks. You might say I’m perfect - ok, as long as you’re saying it. 

When to wear: anywhere you want, the world is your oyster (or sub your favorite food for oysters).

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 Star Fish: I wanted to tell you that on this rare instance, I’m not the star. You are. By wearing just one pair of Period, you’ve saved the world from 4 tampons that will take generations to decompose and let’s not get into pads. Thank you from the bottom of the ocean.

    BUY THEM

    I have been searching for period panties that were comfortable as my everyday panties, were high waisted & didnt roll under my belly, and ones that also didn't have soo much compression (Hello, cramps!) These are BEAUTIFUL. Im 5'4, 230lbs....proportional...usually a 2x, I decided to size up to a 3x bc I preferred a lose fit around my stomach during period days. They are the best things I have ever purchased. I was on my period when these shipped & now Im sad I have to wait til next month :D

    Should have tried these sooner

    I’m a first-timer to period underwear and was drawn by the price and fact that I could use my HSA. I bought these and a pair of the heavy bikini in cotton. Of the two, the padding on this feels as thick but the waist is higher than I like. These run true to size. I loved not having to deal with pads. I used these as a backup to my menstrual cup as I tend to leak. My only dislikes are that the padding makes more noise (kind of a swish sound) and the legs rub a little uncomfortably but I’m very sensitive. I can confidently recommend these!

    First time trying

    My first pair of period underwear and it's been life changing at night. I can sleep in whatever position I want now. I'm going to be ordering more.

    Love them!!

    Finally had the chance to put these to the test and I love them!!! I typically do not use any “protection” on my period and I just run to the bathroom whenever a laugh or cough or simply too much time puts me over the edge; I am very blessed to not experience continual or heavy bleeding. That said, these panties made me feel so safe and secure! I went out to dinner wearing a dress and these were invisible underneath, and I didn’t feel them at all! When the moment came that would have typically sent me running, I felt confident to stay knowing the blood was contained!! I didn’t feel icky or like I was going to leak at all. So comfortable!!
