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.

    Solid job

    Very comfortable, full coverage, and does a great job at keeping me dry and above expected absorption. Easy to move around, doesn't pinch or restrict, and the limited seams makes it very sensory friendly.

    Game Changer

    This was my first time using period underwear and I am impressed! The absorption was great, I always felt dry. Didn't rate 5 stars only because the fit in my hips is a little off. The absorbent part is a bit bulky but that was expected, can't have it both ways! (By bulky I only mean I probably wouldn't wear them under tight leggings)

    Period. vs Knix - Period. wins!

    I am a woman in my 50's, so though I am in menopause, I use these for occasional incontinence and urinary tract health. I used to wear Knix, but Period. panties are healthier (no PFA's), cost 1/2 as much, and do a great job absorbing whatever my body puts out!

    My Knix were pretty and comfortable, but honestly, they fell apart within a year of daily use. My Period. panties are a sturdier construction, and though I've only been using them 2 months, I expect them to last much longer. Because they are thicker as well, the fit is a little different, but I actually feel more secure than I did in Knix. I bought an XL (my normal size, and the size I wore with Knix) and a 2XL, just to see which fit was better. I ended up preferring the XL, even though at first they seemed a little tighter than I was used to wearing. But as you wear and wash them a time or two, the material relaxes and I'm perfectly comfortable in the XL's now!

    Period. wins for:

    1) cost

    2) health

    3) durability/construction/security
