THINXHiphugger Period Underwear for Women, Period Panties, FSA HSA Approved Feminine Care, Menstrual Underwear Holds 4 Tampons, Black, Small

Love these panties! I wore them before and after pregnancy. Great comfort knowing that I had some back up when I was using my menstrual cup and fantastic absorbency after I was a few weeks postpartum (probably would have worked right away but I wasn’t feeling like doing laundry that frequently during the day).Easy to clean and I use a baking soda / vinegar reset wash at the end of my cycle to keep them extra fresh. I own 5 pairs of varying absorbencies that I have purchased over the past few years and absolutely love them. The quality definitely holds up and am only starting to see some discoloration on my very first pair from probably about 3 years ago.They are definitely thicker than underwear but not as thick as depends, plus they don’t sag down like depends do! I don’t notice any sound (like you hear a windbreaker jacket material) and I still wear these with leggings although I wear a long shirt as they are puffier than underwear.I don’t like to wear these to the gym too frequently as they do hold everything in, and that includes all of your sweat and moisture, so I feel like they can get a little gross but I just swap out pairs after I shower if I do wear them to the gym or on a hike (just like you would with regular underwear, so not that big of a deal, in my opinion).You can find cheaper options of different brands, but I definitely think that these are worth the money.

These underwear are definitely true to size and they are very comfortable and they work

For a period underwear these are pretty stylish. They fit well and are comfortable. I was confident they would protect me from leaking on outer clothing. They didn't ever ride or bunch and I did wear them once during heavy activity. I have worn and washed them several yimes and the underwear are good quality and are holding up well in the wash. The one thing that could be a negative is that they are for heavier flow and can feel just a tad bulky.

When I first tried them on, they felt very bulky, but the second time wearing them, they felt so comfortable, perhaps like the period sweatpants feeling!I tried these as backup with a tampon. I was thankful when I felt the gush of my tampon leaking. It was nerve-wracking but nice to know I was "safe".With a lighter/normal flow, I tried them for a free hours (enough time that would normally fill 1 regular tampon) and I noticed the edges of the crotch soaked through, onto my pants. There really wasn't that much blood all together, so that was disappointing.These are good for backup with tampons, but I would never use them alone.

I have PCOS &, when I bleed, it's by the bucket load. I successfully transitioned out of tampons (with a pad back up) to strictly thinx about 2yrs ago (covid shortages and heavy bleeding don't mix.)Since I've made the change, I get less severe cramps and my flow is shorter (less days). I haven't had a bleeding through yet.For comparison- I used an extra absorbancy tampon as an emergency (surprise start off-cycle) & reached full saturation in under 2hrs.

These period underwear fit me to an absolute T and have done their job trumendously well. I'm able to wear them to bed without any leaks or discomfort whatsoever, even on the heaviest days of my periods! I would absolutely recommend this brand. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I don’t know why, but I expected so much more from these. I really only wanted them as a back up on heavy days since I primarily use a menstrual cup, but I will never trust these for more than spotting days again. They are supposed to hold up to 5 tampons, but I would be shocked if these hold even 5 of the extra small tampons I started using when I was a tween. These also leaked so quickly that I wonder if they ever worked at all. I've found some success with other companies, but I was really hoping for some diversity. I guess I'll have to stick with what works, but Thinx isn't it.

I have tried a few of these panties and I have to say I think Thinx is the best. Super absorbent and comfortable. Only thing is the material leaves behind a line of lint the first wear or two, after that though they seem fine.
