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.

    Huge jump in size from L to XL

    While I will say I love the extra coverage of the rear liner on these the size jump from L to XL is crazy. I previously purchased L but after gaining 20lbs they were snug so this order I sized up to the XL and they are literally hanging off around the crotch and leg holes. I have used only this brand for the last few years and normally I love it but it was super disappointing to order the next size up only to find out it is so much bigger

    Leaks

    I really had high hopes but this does not contain my flow. Lasts only a few hours sadly.

    Too large- size down!

    I was soooo excited about these period panties. I’ve been looking for some with a long, front-to-back gusset for a while. So when I found these, I ordered 2 pairs. Unfortunately, they are very large on me. I got a medium (since I’m a size M in Thinx, VS/Pink, Target, and any other underwear I’ve owned), and they’re just too big. When pulled downward accidentally it looks/feels like a saggy diaper. Otherwise, they seem to be really good quality and comfortable! I’ve been too scared to put them to the test because they are not tight enough around the leg holes. They also took a while to come in the mail. Overall, seems like a good product but sizing just didn’t work out for me.

    Kind of an odd fit

    I ordered these in the same size as my other undies from this brand. However I can’t tell if they’re too big or too small. They’re snug enough around my waist but the gusset isn’t very wide. They don’t resemble the product photos, and fit like a more revealing pair of underwear which isn’t helpful when you’re prone to leaking.

    Slightly disappointed I ordered a full coverage pair of underwear for heavier days and they barely cover my cheeks. I have to wear tight bike shorts over them or the gusset begins to sag like a diaper while the waist stays put.

    Life changing!

    These are life changing!!! I have struggled with period underwear not having enough coverage and I ALWAYS leak out the front or the back when I wear them overnight, which would cause me to lose sleep because I was always anxious about leaking. These solved that problem. They are completely full coverage and are everything I have been looking for in period underwear. Customer service was also amazing. I normally wear an XL so I sized up to a 2X as recommended, but that ended up being too big. Their customer service was able to send me replacements in a smaller size at no cost which I really appreciated. Will definitely be getting all of my period underwear from this company going forward.
