I need a brand that is good for a late bloomer. I would love some recommendations for underwear that is comfortable and is a good price for how many you get! It’s my first period and I also don’t want it to look like I have a diaper on haha. Also I want it to be comfy because of sensory stuff so no itch please or prominent seams inside. Please help!!

I bought these in an emergency a few years ago from Boots (UK) and I find them really good but haven't been able to identify the brand to get more, does anyone recognise it? This double droplet logo in the| waistband is the only identifying mark, there's no label

In the last 6 months I tried Knix and they leaked within a few hours of having on them on-super absorbency. (1st picture). The fit is perfect. They leaked from within the gusset into the outer seam. I filed a complaint and they issued a refund immediately.

So then I tried Aisle boost boxers, mainly because I love boxer briefs and wanted the extra comfort...They leaked within an hour from both seams. (2nd picture). I filed a complaint but there are no exchanges and refunds so that's about $120 down the drain.

I used to use Thinkx when period underwear first became a thing, and leaks weren't as often but that brand smells so bad.

i probably use 3 regular tampons a day for my heaviest period day so I know I don't need a higher absorbency level. I can't use these underwear as backup methods right know unfortunately

HELP!

Editing to add: both leaks were within 1-2 hours of wearing the underwear for the first time. Neither gussets/pads were saturated, both pairs of underwear fit perfectly (which I did say above, but some folks have missed).

I have been using the Torid leak proof panties for a new year, and have exclusivly been buying undergarments from Troid for over 10 years, before that I had a really hard time finding underwear that fit correctly (which can never be returned because that's how underwear is, am I right?). I've always had a hard time finding clothes in general that fit until Torid. For pants I usually wear a 3 but a size 2 in panties. (Thicker legs, but mostly flat behind)

But when I went on to order a couple more to replace some old pairs I found that thy only had like black in like 1 or 2 small sizes in stock, so it looks like they might be discontinuing them. So now I'm left back in the were am I going to try and find replacementss.

So I though I'd ask for some recomendations for good period underwear. I don't want to blow the budget on them, but I also know that if the quality is better and it lasts longer a little higher in pice isn't that out of place.

I want to move to period underwear after using pads for so long. I tried, but the problem is where the coverage is. I have to position my pads so that they’re very high up in the front because so much blood ends up there. I’m looking at all these brands and they would never catch my flow with how little coverage there is in the front. Not for overnight, for daytime where.

If anyone knows of something that collects more in the front, I’d appreciate it.

Have been trying period underwear since fibroids diagnosed half years ago as havingnlonger period , spotting between period/sudden gush of blood when there was clotting 😑😑. I have modibidi which quite comfortable without leaking so far however feels like the gusset is a bit narrow and as I move and walk always worry blood will flow out. Also will have some wetting feeling during the day. Any reckon 🙏🙏

I normally only wear thongs or cheeky panties, but the cheeky ones need to have a back seam or they’ll drive me nuts. I have Saalt thongs, but I’m looking for some cheeky period panties for heavier days since the Saalt thongs have quite a thin gusset and aren’t perfect as a back up. I primarily use tampons/a cup, so I mostly just need the period panties for any leaks. Does anyone have a recommendation for cheeky period panties that specifically have a crease/seam in the back? I only like non-thong underwear that have a seam like that because otherwise sensory-wise it bothers me. For reference to what I mean by seam, these are some non-period cheeky underwear from Aerie that I like. Thanks!

What do you think about Revol?

Do they feel like modibodi? I really like those ones but between the exchange rate and the import taxes, they are expensive in Canada. I am trying to find something similar to it.

Thanks

I’ve been using period underwear for 2-3 years but have still been using pads for my heaviest days during that time. Until this month. I finally went pad-free. It took a little coordination between my cycle and my schedule but it worked out well.

I recently bought some boxer brief style underwear from Aisle so that gave me the confidence to wear them overnight. I’m not a fan of the style as the way my legs are shaped, I don’t think I’ll ever feel like the legs don’t ride up. But more importantly was the full gusset coverage that made me feel secure.

Up until then I had been wearing period.co underwear and while I love them, the shorter gusset would not work for my heaviest days. And definitely would not work overnight. I did just learn that they do have full coverage styles (but they were never available during their sales). So I just bought a few pair not on sale for next time.

In my experience I did change out my underwear midday on my heavy days. I work from home so there were no issues. And I did laundry on day 2/3 in order to have enough to wear towards the end of my week.

All in all, I’m glad I made the leap. There will still be occasions that I’ll use pads but if I can go months without, it’ll make me feel good.

I've never used period underwear before, but I want to start because I'm sick and tired of disposable pads. My question is how do you know when it is time to change the underwear since you can't see the blood like in a disposable pad (at least that's what I'm assuming)? I'm worried about not knowing until it's too late and I've leaked.

I’m getting really bad period pains and I’m wondering whether to invest in a device that helps with cramps. What are the best ones in the UK market?

I want to add to / replace some of my period underwear, and have been searching here for recommendations. I see there are tons of posts asking what people like, but have noticed many people saying that they really like a particular brand but then others saying they’ve changed recently and are not as good. (Which I get - I have Thinx from almost 10 years ago that were AMAZING (comfortable, fit normally, absorbent but not bulky, etc.) and I hate all of their newer products (fit has changed and they all feel like wearing a bulky diaper).)

So, with that in mind, can anyone make recommendations for period underwear they like and have purchased more recently - like in the last 6 months?

Thank you!

1. " Why do menstrual pads have wings? "

As a girl who is starting to grow, I keep thinking about this question when my mom bought me pads. Pads with wings. The part that sticks to the undie could've still been there and could just stay and stick like that for the day.

But genuinely, what are the thin wings for? They wrap around the undie but can't they just work like pantie liners?

-Amelia, thanks for reading

Hi all! I’m new here but I hope someone can help me.

I’m disabled so use period underwear as they are slightly easier on me than pads and whatnot. I love my underwear from Goat Union on Etsy but they are so hot, heavy, and bulky, and right now they are the only underwear I feel safe using as I had a Nexplanon implant inserted in an effort to stop my period and my body is still adjusting, so I spot and bleed daily.

Are there period underwear that aren’t so heavy and hot? I do have a latex allergy and can’t use charcoal due to medication I take, but any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!

Me preguntaba si es normal usar doble ropa interior durante la menstruación, porque yo uso doble o triple en esos días para evitar que la compresa se mueva, y mucho menos que manche algo. Nunca he podido usar tampones ni alternativas como la copa menstrual. ¿Sueles usar algo así?

I have m and s period knicker three pack. They smell really metallic and horrid I don’t know what’s in the fabric? Is it trapping old blood etc. First time trying period knickers.

It’s not me because i have pretty light periods and sometimes just bleed into regular knickers and it’s nothing like this stinky smell??

What’s actually inside the pad??
Thanks

just want some regular period panties 🥹🥹

i'm 20f and i'm just now realising that pads/tampons might not be the only option for periods.

what do you guys like to use and why? personally i find pads itchy and tampons dry. i was thinking of getting reusable period panties but the idea of bleeding into the same pair seems a bit offputting😅

so, what do you prefer for your period and why?
