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.

    Fabric has no stretch

    The material of these underwear do not stretch at all. The coverage is fine, but they are the same size as my other period underwear, but do not fit the same. This is why I only gave 2 stars.

    comfortable overall

    the fit was comfortable. i truly could have sized down as the 2x was more roomy than expected. i wore it about 5 hours on what i considered a my medium flow, and the spaciousness of the fit likely contributed to the leakage i experienced. the bleed through wet the seat i was sitting on, so i had to do some damage control. since my pants were dark, the bleed through wasn't as glaringly obvious. that leak/bleed through moment was my only complaint. the under garments are easy to clean and i feel great about making the sustainable switch and minimizing my waste! i would definitely recommend.

    Fit perfectly except...

    These would fit perfectly BUT the elastic band around the leg holes is way too tight, too the point of restricting circulation to my legs, and has barely any stretch at all! I have loved every product i have purchased from The Period. Company so I was genuinely shocked when I put these on and immediately felt the high level of discomfort at the leg openings and the lack of stretch in that area. I didn't return them because I'm on a health & wellness journey that has led to some weight loss with a lot of fluctuation. I'm not on a "diet" but just looking more closely at what I put into my body and sometimes that can lead to periods of time when I am bloated, and need a bit more forgiveness in my clothing and these just didn't give me that as well as if hoped.

    Perfect cycling padded underwear

    This one might sound odd, but I got my period underwear for the period days where I need to get on the bike. Wearing a tampon is not an option since I feel very uncomfortable with the pressure of the saddle. I wore these for a couple of rides and I was surprised that they feel even more cushioned and comfortable that my regular padded shorts (made specially for this) I don’t think I want to go back to use padded shorts, I am switching to period underwear instead!!!

    It’s ok

    Definitely not as great as the sporty stretch material. I expected a tad more stretch than it has. The crotch area also seemed narrower than the sporty stretch.
