1 pair absorbs 2 tampons of flow

For Medium to Light Flows. Designed for all sports and everyday activity, and yes, a thong!

Absorbs 2 tampons worth of blood. 

I’m the Sporty Stretch thong. I mean business. I’m a thong that can absorb period blood and I could do a triathlon. I’ve got the nice discreet feeling of a thong and the serious backup of being highly absorbent. Please play the Eye of The Tiger the first time you put me on. You’ll see. I’m made from our PeriodTech™ fabric - a super stretchy and comfy Nylon and Spandex knit that moves with you. As always, the gusset is made with organic cotton.  

When To Wear: For moments when you need a sporty thong, You will know those moments.

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 blade of grass: Hi! You might notice me. I am one of a trillion trillion blades of grass. But I notice you. With just one pair of Period underwear, you're saving the Earth from so much non-disposable junk. I have some blade of grass friends who live near landfills and let me tell you, slow decomposing tampons and pads are not pretty. Next time you see a breeze going through a field of grass, know that it's us waving hello and thank you at you.

    Absorbent pad too far forward

    So sad I wanted these to work out for the price but the absorbent part sits way too far forward. Sits about an inch higher than my pubic bone and only goes back maybe an inch from where the blood comes out of you know what I mean. It makes no sense I’m now I’m stuck with these. Photo with another brand for comparison. Their absorbent layer goes up the crack a little where period.’s stops at the seam at the bottom (gray pair)

    These used to be perfect

    Why change something when it works so well? Ugh. Took side by side pics of my sporty stretch thongs and these new ones are clearly a whole size smaller. Labeled right… but they definitely changed something to make these smaller. I hate them now… great.

    I played volleyball in these period panties!!!

    These period panties are fabulous. The price, quality, and customer service is so worth purchasing these. I played volleyball (yes, jumping around, no tampon…) and had 0 leakage and felt very secure and comfortable. I forgot I was wearing them. They feel very similar to my everyday thongs I wear with good coverage and stretch. I am normally a L in thongs from VS and ordered a M, and they are nearly identical in size, so they run a little large. I tell all my girlfriends about these. I have a moderate flow, and I own 7 pairs without burning a hole in my wallet!

    The world’s best workout underwear

    I know they’re intended for periods, but…I powerlift. And particularly for squat and deadlift, on the heaviest hardest reps of your set, it’s a known thing among female power lifters that staying dry isn’t always successful. I call these my deadlift panties. Cause it’s just the prefect bit of extra insurance when that bladder is under 300+ lbs of extra pressure. Plus, you never saw a pair of thong underwear that protects against camel toe like these. I love them so much. Best gym underwear ever invented…and great for a little extra period protection too 🙂

    A nice option for low flow days!

    I really like having these for light flow days when I don’t want to deal with the bulk of full coverage period panties. However, I wish the absorbent protection fabric went a little further back. The absorbent part sits just a little too far forward for me and so sometimes my flow hits the regular fabric where there isn’t much absorbency. Still love them, though!
