BASE Shorty

I'm right in between M and L per the size chart, but these definitely run a bit small (I sized down to M for the BOOST brief and they fit me very well), so if I could go back in time, I'd order these in large for immediate comfort. For me, the main issue on these is a too tight waistband. That said, they'll stretch out sooner than later - I bought these specifically for working out in, so I'll be sweating in them a lot more than I usually do, and under tights/leggings, they don't feel uncomfortable for me. As well, I have a light-medium flow at best, and I'm not really wearing these for a whole day, so flow-wise, this isn't a problem either. It's a cute cut, and great for workouts, but just size up.

I ordered these and a pair of Boost Briefs, both my first period underwear so I don't have much to compare it to. The Boost are like a soft cotton, these have more of a gym short feel - which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but they're different than I'd usually pick, kind of like a breathable athletic shirt turned into underwear.

The full coverage is great - and the all in one is my favourite feature - I would love to never have to fiddle with pads and add ons again.... but the coverage is definitely lighter. I had to change my first time wearing them (day 4 of 7 day period) because it was leaking unexpectedly so I'd recomend using back up or taking a spare pair until you know what they can handle.

For fit, I'd say these are snugger than the Boost briefs, I ordered a medium in both (my size in everything) and the legs on these are tight and roll a bit, if you're between sizes having the extra room might be worth sizing up.

I'm hopeful for fit improvements on the next release of these - I want to LOVE them but right now they're just so-so.

I loved my first pair of aisle underwear so much I wanted to buy another one. However, the base shorty was a mistake. The size runs atleast a size smaller than the other underwear they offer (I'm an XL and would recommend a 1x in this one if I were to get it again) and the material is no where near as soft or stretchy. If your looking for comfortable period underwear, I would recommend looking at their other kinds first before settling on this one!
