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.

Some customers report that this style runs a little small - we recommend sizing up if you are on the fence!

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.

    Not the worst, but definitely not the best....

    I have been wanting these for so long but every time they were on sale, they sold out so quickly. I finally snagged them recently and have worn them through several cycles. I will say they are nice to sleep in and I don't have to worry about leaks. They are very thick, much thicker than their other "heavy" pairs. Because of this, they do take a while to dry (I usually have to run the dryer twice). My biggest gripe, however, is that they fall down as you walk. The waist isn't nearly elastic enough to hold up the weight of the fabric, especially once it's absorbing. They're fine for sleeping, but once I'm up walking, they work their way down quickly. I can't wear them on their own as I was hoping to. My waist is about 35" and my hips are 46" so it's not like I have a tiny waist - these just simply don't have the stretch to maintain their shape. I wish they had a bit more compression, or maybe if I were to try them again, I might size down to a medium.

    I can actually sleep restfully now!

    I never use tampons at bedtime but I found I slept poorly with pads because every little flow had me panicked that I was leaking. I have a heavy flow and these have NEVER failed me. I can finally sleep without worrying that I'm gonna leak through to my bed! I went a size up to have more comfort for when I sleep and I'm glad I did.

    Great coverage but waist is so high

    Great coverage for overnight but the waistband is super high. I’m 5’3” and the waistband goes up to my ribs. I usually fold the top over so it doesn’t feel so constrictive.

    For my heavy girls (in size and flow)

    About Me: PCOS Girlie that wears a 2x/3x with a 22/24 dress size.

    My flow is on steroids due to my condition so I'm shocked at how well these worked out for me. I would have to change pads and tampons (I had to use both) HOURLY. And that's not an exaggeration. I bought these to eliminate waste and to save money.

    What I Love: Comfortable!! If you like a snug fit, then a 3x should be fine. The snugness makes my cramps worse, so I ordered two more in a 4x, although I believe that it's supposed to be snug so make a note of that when ordering. Long lasting!! This got me through an 8-hour shift on my second day when the flow is through the roof.

    Things to note: The gusset (padding) isn't as long or as I'd like on The Sleeper, so I usually sleep in the 'extra coverage' underwear and wear the sleeper during the day. If you're a front bleeder, I'd consider the high waist extra coverage underwear but be warned, because of the thick padding, most of these run smaller. I usually am okay with a 2x when shopping, so I sized up to a 3x and I'm so glad I did. Again, if you like comfort or are in between sizes like I usually am, OR if your weight fluctuates due to PCOS, size up... twice in my case.

    I did notice that after a long shift, there was a bit of a smell when I went to take these off, but it wasn't overwhelming. Just... let the bathroom air out before someone goes in behind you lol. The smell was only noticeable when I pulled them off so it's not like I was walking around…
