Excellent dependable product, love the color!

I now have four pair of these boxers (and my 13 yr old has 5 pair!) and they are amazing. No more middle of the night leaks and I love that they can go in the dryer! Best investment ever

Comfy and Breathable

Have been looking for a pair of period boxers just like this for a few years now. 10/10 breathability, true to size and they don't ride up! The waistband is snug enough to not ride up or down but not so tight that inevitable abdominal period bloating presses into the band and causes pain. I'm very sensitive in my abdomen + overheat quickly and sensory-wise this was fine-- felt like I was just wearing comfy boxer briefs. Because I liked these so much, I ended up buying a second pair (and the similar non-absorbent essential boxer) after trialing one pair for a cycle.

My favorite underwear

I own a few pairs of Boost style and I strongly prefer most Aile styles over thinx. I love the Essential version, which i can throw on without thinking about adding a liner. I am a 27" waist, 37" hip, straightish figure and wear a small-its a tad loose but an xs would be too tight for my taste.

Nice quality

Comfortable and absorbent. The pant legs tend to ride up on my legs. Not terrible just have to adjust and pull them down a few times in the day.

Amazing!

I've used these for a couple cycles now and I really love the fit and how comfortable they are. They are super easy to clean compared to other brands and are holding up great in the wash
