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 turtle: Oh hello. When you're my age (110 years old), you've seen a lot of stuff. I hope I live to see a world where there's no more non-disposable garbage in the ocean like tampons and pads. Sometimes I feel pretty down about the whole situation. Then, I hear about people like you who are shifting behaviors and making a difference and I get that warm feeling (unusual for turtles) where I just know everything is going to be ok.

    Love it so much- wish it lasted longer

    I love these!! I have 3 pairs in this style and they are so comfy and can hold a lot of blood. Maybe because I have a heavy flow and have to rewash them they have started to fall apart. The seams are completely unraveling. Such a shame cause I do really love to wear these on my period and I even wore them postpartum. I wash them in gentle cycle and air dry, so I’m not sure that it was my care of them than contributed to their falling part. Makes me think they just aren’t as high quality as other brands. I have some Aerie brand period underwear that aren’t as comfortable but have held up way better and aren’t falling apart at all.

    Comfortable, but…

    I wore these for the first time today. They fit well and are comfortable. However, the threading is unraveling. My hands get caught in the threads every time I pull the panties up after going to the bathroom. The attached picture is only a portion of the thread that is coming undone.

    The best. Ever.

    Not only are the products good for our bodies and actually absorbent, but they're a fair price! So cheap it makes you wonder what the catch is. The catch is- you get addicted to them!! I literally only use these and the sleepers when I'm in my period (7 days long, 3-4 heavy and a few moderate or light). As someone that hated the chemicals of tampons and pads, but never found a pair of period underwear that actually held and didn't leak after an hour (that also didn't cost $60-80) these are a prayer answered! Customer service is unmatched, and they're so comfortable!

    Comfortable and Effective!

    These have great coverage and feel so comfortable under a pair of sweatpants when you’re on your period! I sized up according to the size chart and they fit well. I will buy more from this company! I previously purchased period underwear from saalt - I like these a lot more and they were cheaper! I was able to wear these most of the day on my heaviest day of my period without leaks.

    Terrible didn’t work at all

    I wanted to return them but per policy I could only get a store credit…to buy what? More of what didn’t work. My flow is super heavy and I wore pad, menstrual cup, and your brand period panty. Two hours later I bled through the sides and the back. The extra absorbent material is just not long enough.

    Hi Nadette!

    Thank you for your review.
    We're very sorry to hear that the product didn't turn out as desired.
    We would like to recommend trying out the underwear without pads at least once.
    While pads can help you extend the time that you can wear the underwear before needing to change, the pads will cover and block the absorbent padding of the underwear due to being similarly sized and having its own leak proof coating. For that reason, if the pads happen to leak through the edges, the underwear may not absorb the overflow, as it would also escape the edges of the underwear's absorbent padding.

    We can offer free returns and exchanges! Don't hesitate to contact our support team. We're here to help!
    Our contact email is hello@period.co and returns@period.co (.co instead of .com)
