These are absolutely life-changing, these have a barrier all the way front and back, and have a wide enough crotch area that you actually feel like you're not going to leak through. My periods are incredibly incredibly heavy and I was having issues with bleeding through even with my diva cup, constantly. The only feedback I'd offer to the design team is to make sure they accommodate rounder, bigger butts, they aren't really high waist on me because the fabric has to stretch around my fairly large butt, but when I size up to an extra large, the waist is way too big. I'm more of a medium to large, but I go with a large because it does give me a little bit more of the high-waist that's pictured. But really they fit a bit lower on my hips than what's pictured here.
