Product Information

to 5 stars: These are the best period underwear we reviewed. We recommend them without reservation. This underwear isn’t as stretchy or soft as some of the other products we tried, and according to the manufacturer, it also runs on the small side. (Of course, if you’re used to purchasing products that are primarily cotton, those are both qualities you’d expect.) “It absorbed 3 teaspoons easily,” our tester said. “The outside was dry but cool to the touch.” The underwear also comes with a handy reusable pouch for machine washing. Just be sure to do a pre-rinse before the main wash. For most women this happens every 28 days or so, but it's common for periods to be more or less frequent than this, ranging from every 23 days to every 35 days.
