Goat Union Overnight Period Underwear for Women - Absorbent Period Panties Heavy Flow

Product Information

Cora was started with the intent to help people with menstrual cycles around the world and relieve them of the stigmatized shame they may feel when it comes to periods. The 100% cotton Cora Period Underwear includes transparently sourced materials that make it perfect for period protection, especially for those who are UTI-prone or have sensitive skin. Many of the brands on our list offer a wide range of styles in different levels of absorbency. As you look through product lists, each style is noted with how much protection it offers, with some even designated as nighttime approved. Simply slip on, wear throughout the day or night, and rest easy knowing your trusty period panties will keep you feeling fresh and clean no matter the activity. Are Period Panties A Replacement For Pads & Tampons?

I also like that these boxers comes with an extra removable liner that can increase absorbency. I started the day wearing the liner and then removed it once I felt like it was full. Aisle claims this gives you eight tampons’ worth absorbency, and while I haven’t measured, I attest they are definitely suitable to wear for longer period of time and have done so on many occasions. The shorts don’t come with the liner that the Aisle boxers do, so they are less absorbent, but I still found that they rarely leaked, and when they did, it was in the early evening after a full day of wear.

The downside is the gusset only absorbs about two tampons worth of period blood. But despite the low amount of fluid these undies absorb, the price tag makes them a no-brainer for low-flow days toward the end of your period. The fabric blend of cotton, acrylic, polyester, and elastane washes easily in the washing machine, and you can also tumble dry on low in the dryer. Period underwear works,” explains Dr. Goodall McDonald. “Period underwear is made from material that is very absorbent and able to hold the standard 30–80 cubic centimeters of blood.” Like all period underwear, it's hard to tell when your underwear is "full". Since I use for night time only, I just change first thing in the morning and I've never had any issues. It’s very hard to guarantee there are no PFAS in the finished product, despite a brand’s best efforts to keep them away.

I also tried The Period Company’s thong and bikini brief. Both absorbed well — though I wouldn’t say the thong is meant for heavy overnights. The fit was also quite poofy. That said, period underwear likely doesn’t post any greater risk than other menstrual products when it comes to PFAS, but experts suggest washing before your first wear to reduce exposure.To compile this list, our team of editors and contributors spent hours researching the best period underwear on the market, evaluating their key features, such as material, absorbency, comfort, care requirements, and sizing. We performed lab tests to see how well each pair absorbed liquid and whether it repelled stains, then washed and dried them to assess durability and ease of cleaning.
