Comfortable and Confident

I have been using these for a couple of cycles and they are the most comfortable period underwear I have tried. They are actually more comfortable than a lot of regular underwear! They seems to hold a good capacity and I feel confident there won’t be any issues. I feel good about not using disposable feminine products anymore.

Breathable! Absorbent. Love them!

Much prefer these to the Knix period panties. These are super breathable but also super absorbent and the back going all the way up was a nice extra touch of security when sleeping. These are perfect even on my heavy days and comfy to wear.
