Comfortable and absorbent

Compared to the boost boxer, I love that these have a little less bulk so I feel confident wearing them out and about but still with no fears of leakage. I can wear these all day or overnight on my moderate to light flow days. The fit is very comfortable and secure!

Comfortable

I got these to replace my Knix dream shorts. They are super comfortable, true to size, and so far no leaks, even on my heaviest overnight. I don't know what I would do without leakproof shorts to sleep in during my period, and these definitely did the job, and the fabric is more comfortable than the dream shorts, too. One improvement I would ask for is some protection for the inner thighs.

Great, forget I’m wearing them

I wear these as backup with a menstrual cup and on their own at the end of my period. They are so great, especially at night because of all of the coverage! I appreciate aisle’s commitment to gender inclusivity and making safe, comfortable products. I would recommend and worth trying!! Combined with the cup, makes my period easy enough to deal with. The sizing chart was accurate for me with an XS - hip measurement 36”
